Lingala transcription that actually understands Lingala

Whipscribe transcribes Lingala directly with open-source Whisper — it recognizes Lingala natively, so you don't translate first and lose nuance. Speaker labels, per-word timestamps, and export to TXT, SRT, VTT, or DOCX come standard, and everything runs on private infrastructure that never hands your audio to a third-party AI service.
