Transcription services in Baguio for the long interviews a university town records.
A 2.5-hour interview or lecture recorded in Baguio comes back as text in about 5 minutes, and three of them, 450 minutes, fit the $6 pack of 500 minutes once the first 20 minutes free are used. English and Tagalog return cleanly; Ilocano is supported but trails the major languages, so take it as a fast first draft and plan one review pass.
For Baguio students, historians and teams
An elder's two-hour story or a full seminar deserves more than a folder of audio files. Turn it into text you can cite.
Life stories in chapters
An oral history wanders from childhood to work to the changes in the city. Chapters mark those turns with titles and times, so a later reader finds the part about the market straight away.
Places, years and names pulled out
Place names, years and the people mentioned are listed with timestamps, which is the raw material for footnotes and a timeline. A historian can check each year against the moment the narrator said it.
Interviewer and narrator named
The summary and key quotes name who is speaking, so a quote in your paper is attributed to the narrator and not to the person asking.
The archive, not just one file
Paste a Google Drive folder of a whole interview project, or send a single large video through the upload page.
Before the transcript
A recording nobody has transcribed is an archive nobody can search.
✗ Audio in a drawer
Projects in Baguio collect long interviews faster than anyone can type them, and the files outlive the people who remember what is in them.
- Long tapes with no index to them
- Ilocano passages only the interviewer understood
- Quotes cited from memory
- Files on a laptop that may not last
- A typist hard to find for the language
- Theses that quote two minutes of a two-hour talk
✓ The same interviews as text
Each recording becomes a searchable document you can cite, translate and keep.
- Full text of each interview
- Chapters across the life story
- Places, years and names with times
- A chat to ask what the narrator said about a topic
- Three 2.5-hour interviews on the $6 pack
- DOCX for the appendix of a thesis

FAQ
Transcription in Baguio, answered.
How soon is a 2.5-hour interview ready?
In about 5 minutes after the upload completes, because transcription runs at roughly 2 minutes per hour of audio. Uploading a large video over a weak connection is usually the slower step, so on a patchy signal send the audio file or upload from a stronger connection in the city centre.
What does a Baguio oral history project cost in minutes and packs?
One 150-minute interview fits the $6 pack of 500 minutes with room for two more. A project of twenty 90-minute interviews is 1,800 minutes, inside the $12 pack of 2,000 minutes, and anything bigger moves to the $24 pack of 5,000 minutes, which also includes API access.
What would a human transcriber do better?
A person fluent in Ilocano and in local place names will get spellings right that a machine guesses, and can produce a verbatim, signed transcript. If you need an official record of a hearing, hire one; this is an AI working draft with timestamps, not a certified court transcript, not legal advice and not a replacement for a court reporter.
Can I upload a long video from a camera?
Yes, up to 10 hours or 5 GB per file, whichever comes first. A file over 2 GB starts once a pack is on the account, and if the upload refuses a camera format, convert it to MP3 first.
Do I choose Ilocano before uploading?
No. The recording's main language is detected automatically, and English and Tagalog switches inside it are handled. Spend your review pass on the Ilocano passages, where the draft needs it. Interviews that move between Ilocano and Tagalog are common here, and the chapters help you find where each language takes over.
What do I get, and is it kept private?
Text in TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT and JSON. Recordings are transcribed on our own servers and are never used for training, so a family's story does not become training data for anyone.
