How do I transcribe Telugu audio to text?

Upload the recording to WhipScribe or paste a public link, and the Telugu speech comes back as timestamped Telugu text. The text is in Telugu script, timed line by line; treat it as a first draft, since fast conversation needs checking. The opening minutes are a free preview; a pack from $4 (500 minutes) transcribes the rest.

A first draft in Telugu script

The transcript is in Telugu script and timed line by line. Treat it as a fast first draft: news, lectures and devotional talks recorded clearly come out best, while fast conversation, film songs and English mixed into Telugu need checking.

What we measured on Telugu recordings

From 29 July to 12 October 2026, people transcribed 5 Telugu recordings on WhipScribe; the median one was 2 minutes long and 0 % ran an hour or more. That is too few recordings to publish a quality share.

English subtitles or an English translation

Once the Telugu transcript is unlocked, choose English (or any of 99 languages) under Translate into above it and download TXT, DOCX, SRT or VTT with the original timing; translating an unlocked transcript adds no charge beyond the minutes the transcription used. It is machine translation, not a certified one.

What it costs

Every recording starts with a free preview of its opening minutes. The rest transcribes with a minute pack: $4 / 500 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 Telugu 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 free preview, then open the full transcript with a pack.
  4. Read it through against the audio (the timestamps take you to each line) and correct names and places.
  5. Export as TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT or JSON, or translate it first.
