Pricing Information
The CSR usage fee will be charged in 15 second units based on the usage time of speech recognition.
| Charge (Monthly) | Unit | Usage Fee (in KRW) |
|---|---|---|
| Speech recognition usage time (speech recognition request - termination) | Usage time (per 15 seconds) | 4 KRW per 15 seconds |
- Usage time will be rounded up to the nearest 15 second unit.
- Maximum speech recognition per 1 API call is 60 seconds.
- The time from the request of speech recognition until termination is measured and calculated into the usage time. In other words, even if there is a period of non-usage in the middle, such as silent intervals in the middle of a file or in the middle of a streaming request for recognition, that time is included in the usage time.
- The same rate will apply on the mobile SDK and REST API.
Pricing Example
Case 1) Using 10 seconds from API call 1: 4 KRW
Case 2) Using 32 seconds from API call 1: 12 KRW
Case 3) In case of using CSR for 65 seconds: Up to the time limit of 60 seconds is recognized and 16 KRW will be charged.
