Transcribe a Bisaya radio program and check the quotes in one pass.
A 4-hour Bisaya (Cebuano) radio program comes back as timestamped text in about 8 minutes, and two programs of that length fit the $6 pack of 500 minutes. Cebuano is supported but its accuracy trails the major languages, so read the result as a fast first draft and plan one review pass before you quote it; English words and Tagalog lines in the program come back cleanly.
For monitoring desks and researchers in the Visayas and Mindanao
Checking a draft against the audio is far quicker than typing four hours of Cebuano from nothing.
Timestamps to check against
Each passage of the draft carries its time, so confirming a quote means jumping to that second and listening for ten seconds, not hunting through the hour. Mark each passage as you fix it and the reviewed text is ready to file.
The program's rundown
Chapters mark where the news ends, the commentary starts and the public-service calls begin, with titles you can rename in your own words.
Anchors and guests, named
The brief, key quotes and chapters name the anchors and guests as they introduce themselves, and the amounts, places and dates said on air are listed together.
A week of broadcasts
Paste a Google Drive folder holding the week's captures, or send a long off-air file through the upload page.
Why Cebuano radio goes untranscribed
Few tools take Cebuano at all, and typing a 4-hour program by hand takes days.
✗ Without a draft
A monitor listening to Cebuano commentary writes down the gist and a few phrases, and has no way to search the rest of the broadcast later.
- Days of typing for one long program
- Tools that do not list Cebuano at all
- Quotes reconstructed from memory
- No record of which segment raised which issue
- Callers' complaints lost after broadcast
- Files too long for short upload limits
✓ With the draft here
A searchable, timed text of the program that you correct in one listen, instead of writing it from zero. Most of the correcting happens in the Cebuano commentary, while the English headlines and names usually need little.
- Timestamps for checking every quote
- Chapters per segment and caller
- Names, places and amounts listed
- A brief of the issues raised
- Two 4-hour programs on the $6 pack
- DOCX to correct and file

FAQ
Bisaya radio programs, answered.
How quickly is a 4-hour program done?
In about 8 minutes, at about 2 minutes per hour of audio. A 3-hour block takes close to 6.
What does monitoring a station cost?
A 4-hour program is 240 minutes, so the $6 pack of 500 minutes carries two of them. Eight programs, 1,920 minutes, fit the $12 pack of 2,000; twenty, at 4,800 minutes, fit the $24 pack of 5,000. A monitoring desk that records every week may prefer the $19 a month Workspace.
How large is a 4-hour off-air capture?
At 64 kbps the arithmetic is 64,000 × 3,600 ÷ 8, about 29 MB an hour, so four hours is near 115 MB. Each file can run to 10 hours or 5 GB, and before the first pack uploads go up to 2 GB.
Do I split the broadcast, or cut out the ads?
Keep it whole. Jingles, music and sound effects are not transcribed, only the speech, and a single file keeps the timestamps in step with your broadcast log.
What about Tagalog or English in the same program?
The program is detected on its main language, and switches into Tagalog or English are handled. News terms and names read out in English are usually the cleanest passages in the draft.
Which exports, and is the recording kept private?
The Cebuano draft downloads as TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT or JSON once you are done checking it. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training.
