About Tigrinya recordings
Tigrinya is written in the Ge'ez (Ethiopic) script, like Amharic, but it is a separate language: choose Tigrinya so the transcript is not mixed up with Amharic.

How to transcribe a Tigrinya recording
- Upload the file (up to 5 GB) or paste a link from YouTube, TikTok, Facebook or another platform.
- Keep Tigrinya as the spoken language (or auto-detect), add a translation if you want one, and pay once.
- Download the Tigrinya transcript as plain text, text with timestamps and SRT subtitles.
Written in Ge'ez (Ethiopic), not in Latin letters
Your transcript comes back in Ge'ez (Ethiopic), the script Tigrinya 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.
An honest note on accuracy
Automatic speech recognition has seen far less recorded Tigrinya 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 Tigrinya audio into English or another language
Choose a translation language before paying and you get two versions: the original Tigrinya 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
Will Tigrinya be mixed up with Amharic?
Both use the Ge'ez script. Choose Tigrinya as the spoken language so the transcript follows Tigrinya rather than Amharic.
How accurate is Tigrinya transcription?
Usable for clear speech, with more corrections than in English or Spanish. Speech models have heard far less Tigrinya, 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 Tigrinya audio to English?
Yes. Pick English (or any of 141 other languages) as the translation language before paying. You get the original Tigrinya transcript and the translation, both as TXT and SRT.
What if the recording mixes Tigrinya and Amharic?
Leave the spoken language on auto-detect. Each part is written in the language it is spoken in, so Amharic sentences stay in Amharic instead of being forced into Tigrinya.
Will the Tigrinya transcript be in Ge'ez (Ethiopic)?
Yes. The text is written in Ge'ez (Ethiopic), the way Tigrinya is normally written, not transliterated into Latin letters.
Is Tigrinya supported as well as English?
It is supported, but less recorded Tigrinya 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.
