How do I transcribe Cebuano or Bisaya audio?

Upload the recording to WhipScribe or paste a public link, and the Cebuano (Bisaya) speech comes back as timestamped text. Cebuano is supported, but accuracy trails the major languages, so plan a review pass. Tagalog and English switches in the same recording are handled. The summary is free to read; a pack from $4 (500 minutes) opens the full transcript.

How well it handles Bisaya

Cebuano has far less training audio behind it than English or Spanish. WhipScribe transcribes it, and the result is a solid first draft rather than finished text: expect to correct names, places and some words.

Clear audio helps more than anything else. A sermon or a radio programme recorded close to the microphone comes out much better than a phone call in a noisy room.

Mixed Bisaya, Tagalog and English

Real recordings switch languages mid-sentence. You do not need to split the file or choose a language; it is handled as one recording.

What it costs

The summary of any recording is free to read. The full transcript opens with a minute pack: $4 / 500 minutes, $8 / 1,000 minutes, $12 / 2,000 minutes or $24 / 5,000 minutes, one-time. Credits never expire.

How to do it

  1. Open WhipScribe and drop the Cebuano audio or video onto the upload box, or paste a public link.
  2. Wait while it processes; about two minutes per hour of audio is typical.
  3. Read the summary, then open the full transcript with a pack.
  4. Read it through against the audio — the timestamps take you to each line — and correct what needs it.
  5. Export as TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT or JSON.
