Transcribe a Tagalog radio program and quote it down to the timestamp.
A 4-hour Tagalog radio program recorded off air or from the station's stream is transcribed in about 8 minutes, with a chapter for each segment and the quotes listed with their timestamps. The first 20 minutes are free, and the $6 pack of 500 minutes holds two 3-hour morning blocks.
For researchers and media monitors
A morning block of commentary is hard to cite from memory. A transcript with timestamps lets you quote exactly what aired.
Every quote tied to its airtime
Key quotes come back with timestamps and the name of whoever said them, as the anchor introduced them on air. A monitoring note can point to 02:14:30 instead of 'sometime after the news'.
Segments as chapters
Headlines, commentary, an interview with an official, the phone-in hour: each shift gets a chapter title and a start time, so a 4-hour file reads like the program's rundown.
The brief for the day's issue
The brief sets out the issue the program kept returning to and the takeaways, and the amounts, places and schedules said on air are gathered in one list.
From stream to file
A replay on YouTube goes in by link. A Facebook Live replay is downloaded first and then uploaded; an off-air capture from a recorder, or a heavy video, goes through the upload page.
Why monitoring by ear is slow
Listening back to four hours of radio to confirm one statement takes most of a working day.
✗ Monitoring by listening
A radio block runs past the hour marks with ads, station IDs and callers in between, and the statement you need is rarely where you remember it.
- Notes written while the program is still airing
- Quotes paraphrased because the exact words were missed
- Hours of replay to confirm a single figure
- No index of which segment covered which issue
- Tagalog commentary that English-only tools garble
- Recordings too long for tools with short limits

FAQ
Tagalog radio programs, answered.
How long does a 4-hour program take?
About 8 minutes, because processing runs near 2 minutes per hour of audio. A 2-hour evening program is ready in roughly 4.
What does a week or a month of programs cost?
A 3-hour morning block is 180 minutes, so two fit the $6 pack of 500 minutes. Five weekday blocks, 900 minutes, sit inside the $12 pack of 2,000. A month of twenty-two weekday blocks is 3,960 minutes, which the $24 pack of 5,000 minutes covers with 1,040 left.
How big is an off-air recording, and will it fit?
Size follows bitrate: an MP3 captured at 128 kbps is 128,000 bits a second × 3,600 seconds ÷ 8, about 58 MB an hour, so a 4-hour program is near 230 MB. The limit is 10 hours or 5 GB per file, and uploads up to 2 GB work before your first pack.
Should I cut out the ads and music, or split the program?
Neither is needed. Music, jingles and sound effects are not transcribed; the speech is. Keep the program as one file so the timestamps line up with the broadcast, and split only a recording that runs past 10 hours.
What if the anchor or callers switch languages?
Tagalog, Filipino and English are detected automatically, and Taglish switches inside one program are handled. A caller speaking Cebuano, Ilocano or another regional language is supported too, though that stretch comes out as a fast first draft that needs one review pass.
Which exports do I get, and who sees the recordings?
A transcribed program downloads as TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON, ready for a monitoring report. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training.
