Understand each project status and check the reported error before retrying

What the statuses mean

  • Uploading: keep the window open while the file transfers
  • Pending: the file has arrived and is waiting
  • Pending import: the Google Drive file is still importing
  • Processing: transcription is running; you can return later
  • Cancellation in progress: the cancellation request has not finished
  • Cancelled: processing stopped
  • Completed: open, edit or export the project
  • Failed: read the error and resolve the issue

Retry a failed project

  • Read the project’s error message
  • Check that the source media is still available
  • Choose Try again when available
  • Review the new settings and cost before confirming

Charges and troubleshooting

A failed transcription does not create an additional successful-job charge. A rerun that succeeds is a new charged job. For a stuck upload, check the connection and try a smaller file. For a Drive import, check the connection and download permission. If failures repeat, contact support with the project name and time of the problem
