About Punjabi recordings

Punjabi from India is written in Gurmukhi; in Pakistan it is written in Shahmukhi (Perso-Arabic). The transcript usually comes back in Gurmukhi. Katha, interviews and talks work best; kirtan and songs over music are much harder.

How to transcribe a Punjabi recording

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

Written in Gurmukhi, not in Latin letters

Your transcript comes back in Gurmukhi, the script Punjabi is normally written in, not as a romanised approximation. The SRT file is plain UTF-8 text, so the characters display correctly in YouTube Studio, VLC, Premiere Pro and other modern players and editors.

Translate Punjabi audio into English or another language

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

Gurmukhi or Shahmukhi?

The transcript usually comes back in Gurmukhi. Shahmukhi output is not guaranteed.

How accurate is Punjabi transcription?

A clear Punjabi recording with one speaker at a time comes out close to word-perfect. Accuracy drops with background music or noise, people talking over each other, strong regional accents and poor phone recordings: the same things that make a recording hard for a person to follow.

Can I translate Punjabi audio to English?

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

What if the recording mixes Punjabi 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 Punjabi.

Will the Punjabi transcript be in Gurmukhi?

Yes. The text is written in Gurmukhi, the way Punjabi is normally written, not transliterated into Latin letters.
