Will TheOasis.com Remain Available for MP3 Transcription?

Question: I was just on TheOasis.com website to have it transcribe an mp3 file and offer varies rewrite options. It worked great. Is this site/tool still going to be available in the future? I don't know why, but I am worried that it might go away.

    Whew! It works great. I'm happy to scribe to it as opposed to Otter.

    Please let me know any feedback you have / thoughts / requests. We will eventually be combining talktastic and oasis under the talktastic brand

    Cool idea. I'll say that I like the simplicity of the Oasis approach. But Otter has the feature where you can ask questions of the transcript and that is kindof neat.

    $14.99 month for Oasis though. I don't know... So many subscriptions to so many services. I don't know if I would use it that often. Can you create a credits approach to usage payments? Something other than a flat rate per month?

    This is something I’m thinking about. The thing about credits is it discourages use. I want users to pay once and use the tool as much as they like, but open to thoughts

    "discourages use" I haven't heard that. Really, why would that be?

    I find that when a tool is billing me with credits I think “how much is this going to cost me” every time I want to use it. Puts me in a scarcity mindset

    Hmm... Interesting. I suppose that's true. Recently I was using Leonardo.ai to generate some images. They use a credit system (maybe credit systems are more typical in the image and video generation space..?). At any rate, Leonardo was generating a bunch of images that really weren't what I was looking for. It was then that I realized that I was using up credits for images I didn't like or plan to use. So you have a point.

    Maybe have tiered payment plans for Oasis?
