Do you handle regional accents (Gyeongsang, Jeolla)?

Yes — no declaring needed; the engine mix follows the accent we actually hear.

What about code-switching into English or local terms?

Mixed-in English and local terms are transcribed as heard; anything the engines aren't sure about is flagged for you to confirm or replace.

How fast, and how is it billed?

An hour of audio is usually ready within 30 minutes; Transcribe Cloud is $6.00 an hour in all 27 languages (or subscribe to a monthly plan), prorated to the second, rate locked at upload, failed jobs never billed.
