How to transcribe a recording in Taglish as one file, nothing to switch.
Upload the recording as one file: Tagalog is detected automatically and the English words and phrases inside Taglish speech are handled, for files up to 10 hours or 5 GB at about 2 minutes per audio hour. The opening minutes are a free preview, and a 3-hour Taglish class or meeting is 180 minutes on the $4 pack of 300.
Taglish, step by step
Code-switching every sentence is normal speech, and it stays one upload.
No language to pick
There is no Tagalog or English switch to set. The main language is detected, and the English terms Filipinos use inside Tagalog sentences (deadline, report, i-check, meeting) are handled in place. A review class that moves between the two every few seconds is still one file, and you never have to mark where the switches happen.
Where the file comes from
Phone voice recordings, a Zoom or Meet recording you are allowed to keep, a Facebook Live you have downloaded, or a YouTube link. Links from YouTube, Google Drive, Vimeo and podcast feeds can be pasted; for other platforms, download first and upload the file. Recording a meeting or interview needs the consent of the people in it that the law where you are requires.
Spellings to review
Taglish has no single spelling standard, so mixed forms such as nag-meeting or i-send may not match your school's or office's style. Search and replace in the DOCX export takes a minute. The box here takes files up to 500 MB; a larger one continues on the main upload page.
Regional languages in the mix
When a recording mixes English with Bisaya, Ilocano, Hiligaynon or another regional language instead of Tagalog, expect a fast first draft and plan one review pass. Test such a file in the free preview before buying for a whole project, and budget an hour of checking for every few hours of audio.
Mixed-language recordings
Cutting Taglish into Tagalog and English parts does not work.

FAQ
Taglish recordings: the follow-up questions.
How do I transcribe a recording in Taglish?
Upload it as one file. Tagalog is detected automatically and the English inside the speech is handled. Files run up to 10 hours or 5 GB at about 2 minutes per audio hour, and the opening minutes are a free preview.
What does a thesis project cost?
Packs start at $4 for 300 minutes, and credits never expire. Ten one-hour interviews, 600 minutes, come to the same.
And a full review season?
Twenty 4-hour review sessions are 4,800 minutes, which fits the $32 pack of 6,000. Credits never expire, so any minutes left stay for the next batch.
Are speakers identified in a Taglish discussion?
Yes, in the summary, key quotes and chapters, where speakers are identified and named. The transcript itself is timestamped text, so you can listen again at any point to confirm a speaker. For an FGD, asking each participant to say a name or code at the start helps the summary attach points to the right person.
My recording is over 2 GB. Can I still upload it?
Yes, up to 5 GB, even before the first pack. Anything over 10 hours goes in as two files. Prices are in US dollars, paid by card at checkout.
Which exports come with it, and is the recording private?
TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and never used for training.
