About Krio recordings

Krio is an English-based creole written in the Latin alphabet. Its spelling is not fully standard, so the transcript can mix Krio spelling with English spelling for shared words.

How to transcribe a Krio recording

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

An honest note on accuracy

Automatic speech recognition has seen far less recorded Krio 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 Krio audio into English or another language

Choose a translation language before paying and you get two versions: the original Krio 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

Is Krio spelling standard?

Not fully. The transcript can mix Krio and English spellings for shared words.

How accurate is Krio transcription?

Usable for clear speech, with more corrections than in English or Spanish. Speech models have heard far less Krio, 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 Krio audio to English?

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

What if the recording mixes Krio 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 Krio.

Is Krio supported as well as English?

It is supported, but less recorded Krio 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.
