Answer

Can I transcribe Indonesian audio or a YouTube video in Indonesian?

Yes. Upload an Indonesian audio or video file to WhipScribe, or paste the YouTube link, and Bahasa Indonesia is detected automatically. The transcript comes back timestamped, usually in about two minutes per hour of audio, and exports as TXT, DOCX, SRT or VTT subtitles. The summary is free to read; a pack from $4 (500 minutes) opens the full transcript.

From a YouTube link

Paste the address of a public YouTube video. WhipScribe fetches the audio and transcribes it; you do not download anything first. Podcast, Google Drive, Twitch and Kick links work the same way.

The text is a transcript of what is said in the video, not YouTube's automatic captions, so it does not depend on whether the channel turned captions on.

From a file

Drop an MP3, M4A, WAV, MP4, MOV or most other audio and video files onto the page. One file can be up to 10 hours and 5 GB.

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. Workspace is $19/month on the web app.

How to do it

  1. Open WhipScribe and paste the YouTube link, or drop the Indonesian audio or video file onto the upload box.
  2. Leave the language alone — Indonesian is detected from the audio.
  3. Read the summary, then open the full transcript with a pack.
  4. Export as SRT or VTT for subtitles, or TXT or DOCX for text.

Does it handle Indonesian mixed with English or Javanese words?

Mixed speech is handled as one recording; you do not split it or choose a language. Regional words and names are worth checking in the text.

Does it say who is speaking?

No. WhipScribe does not label speakers. You get the spoken words as one timestamped transcript.

Is my recording private?

Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training.
