About Yiddish recordings
Yiddish is written in Hebrew letters, right to left, with its own spelling conventions (for example, vowels are written with letters). Hasidic Yiddish and standard YIVO Yiddish differ in spelling. Hebrew words in Yiddish are written in Hebrew spelling.

How to transcribe a Yiddish recording
Upload the file (up to 5 GB) or paste a link from YouTube, TikTok, Facebook or another platform.
Keep Yiddish as the spoken language (or auto-detect), add a translation if you want one, and pay once.
Download the Yiddish transcript as plain text, text with timestamps and SRT subtitles.
Written in Hebrew, not in Latin letters
Your transcript comes back in Hebrew, the script Yiddish 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.
Right-to-left text in TXT and SRT
Yiddish is written from right to left. The transcript keeps the original characters and direction, and the subtitle file can be loaded into players and editors that support right-to-left text. If a line shows punctuation on the wrong side, the player is the problem, not the file: try VLC or YouTube Studio.
An honest note on accuracy
Automatic speech recognition has seen far less recorded Yiddish 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 Yiddish audio into English or another language
Choose a translation language before paying and you get two versions: the original Yiddish 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
Hasidic or YIVO spelling?
It can vary; check the spelling if you need a specific standard.
How accurate is Yiddish transcription?
Usable for clear speech, with more corrections than in English or Spanish. Speech models have heard far less Yiddish, 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 Yiddish audio to English?
Yes. Pick English (or any of 141 other languages) as the translation language before paying. You get the original Yiddish transcript and the translation, both as TXT and SRT.
What if the recording mixes Yiddish 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 Yiddish.
Will the Yiddish transcript be in Hebrew?
Yes. The text is written in Hebrew, the way Yiddish is normally written, not transliterated into Latin letters.
Does the Yiddish SRT work in video editors?
Yes. The SRT file is standard UTF-8 with the original right-to-left text. YouTube Studio, VLC and most editors display it correctly; if punctuation looks out of place, check that your editor supports right-to-left text.
Is Yiddish supported as well as English?
It is supported, but less recorded Yiddish 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.
