Transcribe an Afrikaans radio show segment by segment.
A 3-hour Afrikaans talk-radio show is transcribed in about 6 minutes, with Afrikaans recognised automatically and the songs between segments left out. The first 20 minutes are free; a week of five 3-hour shows is 900 minutes, which the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes covers twice.
For producers and presenters
Every interview and call-in from the show, written down and easy to find.
Find the guest in seconds
Chapters mark the news, the interviews, the phone-ins and the competitions, so the producer can lift the interview segment without listening through the whole show.
Talk only, no song lyrics
Music, jingles and sound effects are not transcribed. What comes back is what the presenter, the guests and the callers said.
Quotes for the station's pages
Key quotes come back with timestamps and the speaker named, ready to post after the show or to cut a clip from the audio.
A searchable archive of the shows
Every show you send stays searchable by word, so a topic discussed months ago can be found by typing it.
Why radio archives go unused
Hours of good talk recorded every day, and almost none of it written down.
✗ Logger files nobody opens
The station's logger keeps every hour, but finding one interview means guessing the time and listening.
- Guessing when the guest was on
- Listening through songs to reach talk
- Interviews typed for the website by hand
- Tools that expect English
- Shows cut into one-hour files
- No record of what callers said
✓ The show as text
Send the show and read what was said, segment by segment, with the time beside it.
- A breakfast show turned around in about 6 minutes
- Afrikaans detected, no setting
- Talk only in the transcript
- Studio guests named in the summary
- Captions for video clips
- Minutes that never lapse

FAQ
Afrikaans radio recordings, answered.
How fast is a 3-hour breakfast show turned into text?
Around 6 minutes, at roughly 2 minutes per hour of audio. A 1-hour slot is ready in about 2, a 4-hour weekend show in about 8. A producer can therefore have the morning interview as text before the afternoon team plans its follow-up.
What does a week or a month of shows cost?
Five weekday shows of 3 hours are 900 minutes, inside the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes. A month of weekday shows, about 22 of them, is roughly 3,960 minutes, which fits the $24 pack of 5,000 minutes. A station that records every week can also use the $19 a month Workspace. Packs are priced in US dollars. A weekly 2-hour weekend programme alone is about 520 minutes a month, so even a single programme usually belongs on the $12 pack rather than the $6.
Our show plays a lot of music. Is that transcribed?
No. Songs, jingles and sound effects are not transcribed, only the speech. A 3-hour show with an hour of music still produces a clean text of the talk around it. Advertisements are speech, so they will appear in the text; trim them from the transcript or skip their chapters when you publish.
What file does a logger give, and will it upload?
Most loggers save MP3 or WAV; check your logger's export settings. Should the upload refuse a logger file, convert that file to MP3 first. A file can last 10 hours or weigh 5 GB at most; before the first pack, uploads stop at 2 GB. A 3-hour logger MP3 at 128 kbps is about 173 MB, which is 57.6 MB per hour times three, so a whole show uploads without trimming.
Can we paste the show's podcast feed?
Yes. If the show is published as a podcast or RSS feed, paste the link and nothing needs to be uploaded. A YouTube replay link works the same way. Shows that stream on YouTube can be sent the same way from the replay link after the broadcast ends.
Which exports are there, and is our audio private?
Producers download TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON; the SRT goes straight onto a clip for social video. Shows are transcribed on our own servers, are never used to train a model, and can be deleted from your Library. Station archives often keep the text long after the audio is gone, since a searchable transcript costs almost nothing to store.
