Data toolfare buys · quoted firstAsk your AI what was actually said on the call.
A recording up to an hour long — a sales call, a podcast, a video ad — turned into a transcript with speaker labels, punctuation and word timings, answered inside ChatGPT, Claude, Codex or Cursor. No Deepgram account or key of your own: toolfare transcribes each file, quotes it first, and charges by the length of the audio.

Claude’s own instructions2What to ask
Copy a prompt into your AI app once you’re connected. It picks the right one of the 1 tools and tells you the price first.

deepgram_transcribeTurns a recording at a URL into a transcript, with optional speaker labels, punctuation and per-word timings for subtitles. One call covers up to an hour of audio.
Use it when
- You have a recording, podcast, call or video and need its words.
- You need to know who said what.
- You want subtitle timings for a video.
Look elsewhere when
- You want to generate speech rather than read it. Use this instead
- The recording is not reachable at a URL. The transcription takes a link to the media.
Deepgram directly, or through toolfare
Directly
- A Deepgram account with a prepaid balance
- An API key of your own to hand to an agent
- Your own code to post files and parse results
Through toolfare
- Per recording, quoted before it runs, on the same balance as everything else
- No Deepgram account and no key to hand to an agent
- Transcripts your AI can summarise and act on in the same conversation
You get pre-recorded transcription, not Deepgram’s platform — no live streaming transcription and no custom models through the MCP connection.
Limits
- Media is passed as a URL; there is no upload through the chat.
- A recording must be an hour or shorter; anything longer has to be split into parts first.
- Cost follows duration, so an hour-long recording is priced as an hour.
- Pay as you go from your toolfare balance, in US dollars; there is no subscription. A call runs when your balance covers its quote.
