Your ElevenLabs key

This app does the transcribing through ElevenLabs, using your own account. A “key” is just a long password that lets this page do that on your behalf.

  1. If you have not got an account yet, sign up at elevenlabs.io. The free plan includes transcription and works here, so you can try it for nothing. Beyond that it is about $0.22 an hour of audio — see the pricing page.
  2. Go to elevenlabs.io/app/developers/api-keys and create a key.
  3. On that form, switch everything off except Speech to Text, and set a credit limit. If the key is ever seen by anyone else, that is all it can do and all it can spend.
  4. Copy the key it shows you and paste it below. It begins sk_.
    The usual mistake: the code listed beside the key afterwards is its ID, not the key, and will not work. If you have closed the window, click Rotate on that key to be shown a usable one.
