When submitting a transcription job, you may run into a few common errors. Here’s what to look out for and how to fix them.
Missing Required Fields
- Fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are required.
- If one is left blank, the system will prevent submission until completed.
Attachments
- The attachments upload form is limited to 10 files at 10 GB each.
