About Hausa recordings

Hausa is written in the Latin alphabet (boko). Special letters such as ɓ, ɗ and ƙ may appear as plain b, d and k depending on the recording, as they often are in informal writing. Hausa written in Ajami (Arabic script) is not produced.

How to transcribe a Hausa recording

  1. Upload the file (up to 5 GB) or paste a link from YouTube, TikTok, Facebook or another platform.
  2. Keep Hausa as the spoken language (or auto-detect), add a translation if you want one, and pay once.
  3. Download the Hausa transcript as plain text, text with timestamps and SRT subtitles.

An honest note on accuracy

Automatic speech recognition has seen far less recorded Hausa than English or Spanish, so expect more mistakes in names, place names and specialist terms, especially in noisy recordings. Clear speech close to the microphone gives the best result. If a paid file cannot be transcribed at all, you are refunded automatically.

Translate Hausa audio into English or another language

Choose a translation language before paying and you get two versions: the original Hausa transcript and a line-by-line translation, both as TXT and as SRT with the same timings. That makes it easy to check the translation against the original, or to publish subtitles in both languages.

Questions

Can I get Hausa in Ajami script?

No. Hausa is transcribed in the Latin (boko) alphabet, which is how it is usually written today.

How accurate is Hausa transcription?

Usable for clear speech, with more corrections than in English or Spanish. Speech models have heard far less Hausa, so names, place names, numbers and specialist terms are where to look first. Background music, overlapping voices and phone-line audio make it harder still.

Can I translate Hausa audio to English?

Yes. Pick English (or any of 141 other languages) as the translation language before paying. You get the original Hausa transcript and the translation, both as TXT and SRT.

What if the recording mixes Hausa and English?

Leave the spoken language on auto-detect. Each part is written in the language it is spoken in, so English sentences stay in English instead of being forced into Hausa.

Is Hausa supported as well as English?

It is supported, but less recorded Hausa exists for training speech models, so the transcript usually needs more checking than an English one. The price is the same, and a file that fails entirely is refunded automatically.
