Transcripts are saved until the next 24-hour shift, i.e. until 00.00 the following night. The reason for that limitation is that we don't want to sit with potentially sensitive audio files/transcribed files for longer than we need to. They are automatically cleared at 00:00.
The universities of Linköping and Umeå have created a FAQ that covers the most frequently asked questions. You can find this inside the tool itself.
The cost is about 50 öre per transcribed minute. Example: If a 20 min interview is transcribed, it is about 10 SEK.
