Getting your Deepgram key
Minutehand transcribes through your own Deepgram account, so you pay Deepgram directly rather than a markup to us. New accounts start with $200 of free credit — over 300 hours of meetings.
1. Sign up
console.deepgram.com/signup — email or Google. The $200 lands on the account straight away.
2. Make a key
In the console, open API Keys and create one. Name it anything; the default permissions are what Minutehand needs.
3. Copy it straight away
Deepgram shows the key once. If you lose it, delete that key and make another — nothing breaks.
4. Paste it into Minutehand
First-run setup asks for it. Otherwise: menu bar icon → Settings → Deepgram.
What it costs after the credit. About $0.58 per hour of meeting, speaker labelling included. Six hours of calls in a week is roughly $3.50.
Where the key lives. Encrypted on your Mac in macOS's own secure storage. We run no servers, so it is never sent to us — it only ever goes to Deepgram.
