Transcribe a Punjabi radio show and turn three hours on air into a page you can search.
A 3-hour Punjabi talk or call-in show recorded at a Canadian station is transcribed in about 6 minutes, with Punjabi detected automatically and the first 20 minutes free. Four weekly shows, 720 minutes, sit on the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes with room for the next six.
For the producer after the show
The host, the guest and forty callers fill three hours. The transcript tells you where each one was.
Segments, not one long scroll
Chapters break the show at the news roundup, the interview, the open lines and the community notices, each with a timestamp you can cue in the editor for a clip or a rebroadcast.
The guest's words, quotable
The brief names the host and the guest and pulls key quotes, so the station's website post or social card can carry the guest's own line in Punjabi.
Callers on phone lines
Phone-in audio is thinner than the studio microphones. Punjabi output is a fast first draft, so plan one review pass over caller segments and any names before a quote goes out.
The archive by feed
If the show is published as a podcast, paste the RSS feed or an episode link and nothing needs to upload. Large studio files go through the upload page.
Why last month's shows are lost
A great interview airs on Saturday and is impossible to find by the next week.
✗ Logging by ear
Someone replays the logger file to find the minute a guest made a point, and sponsors' read schedules live in a separate notebook. Requests from advertisers for proof of a read, or from listeners for a guest's phone number, mean another hour with headphones.
- Three hours replayed for one quote
- No text for the station website
- Caller topics never written down
- Ads, songs and talk tangled together
- English-only tools that miss Punjabi
- A backlog of shows nobody has logged
✓ Each show as text
The show is a searchable document before the next shift starts, with segments marked. The producer clips from the chapters, posts the guest's best line and answers a sponsor's question by searching the text.
- About 6 minutes for a 3-hour show
- Chapters at each segment
- Host and guest named in the summary
- Numbers and dates said on air listed
- A chat to ask what a caller raised
- Four weekly shows on $12

FAQ
Punjabi radio recordings, answered.
How fast is a 3-hour show transcribed?
About 6 minutes. A 2-hour weekday show takes about 4, at roughly 2 minutes of processing per hour of audio, so the transcript can be ready before the producer has finished the post-show notes.
How many minutes does a weekly or a daily show use?
A weekly 3-hour show is 180 minutes, so a month of four is 720 minutes on the $12 pack of 2,000. A 2-hour show every weekday runs about 2,400 minutes a month, which fits the $24 pack of 5,000 with room for a second month. A station recording every week can also look at the $19/month Workspace for the team.
Will the logger MP3 upload?
A 128 kbps MP3 is 16 KB a second, about 57.6 MB an hour, so a 3-hour show is roughly 173 MB and goes straight into the upload box on this page, which takes files up to 500 MB. Bigger files continue on the main upload page, up to 5 GB or 10 hours per file.
Are the songs and ad breaks in the text?
No. Music is not transcribed, so Punjabi songs, jingles and music beds leave gaps; spoken ad reads and sponsor mentions are speech and do appear, which helps check that a sponsor's read went to air.
Hosts here switch to English all the time. Is that handled?
Yes. The show is detected on its main language, Punjabi, and English phrases, place names and brand names inside it are handled in the same pass.
Who can see the recordings?
Only your account. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training. Exports are TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON.
