How well does it handle Catalan?
Accuracy is strong on clear audio; give names and technical terms a quick scan.
Central and Valencian varieties both transcribe on the same model; output uses standard Catalan orthography.
Handles the constant Catalan–Spanish code-switching of real recordings; geminated l·l and apostrophes come out correctly.
What you get
Speaker labels
Every voice in the recording is separated and labelled — works in Catalan the same as in English, because speaker labels follow voices, not words.
Word-level timestamps
Each word is timed to the audio, which is what makes accurate Catalan SRT and VTT subtitle files possible.
Search & quote
The transcript is searchable in Catalan — jump to the exact second something was said and copy it with its timestamp.
Every export
TXT, SRT, VTT, DOCX and JSON on every pack — no format paywall.

Questions people ask
Do I need to tell it the audio is Catalan?
No — the language is detected from the first seconds of audio automatically. If a recording mixes Catalan and English, each part is transcribed in the language actually spoken.
Can I get English text from Catalan audio?
No. The transcript comes back in the language that was spoken, so Catalan audio produces Catalan text. Captions and every export stay in the source language; translation is not something Whipscribe does.
Does it work on Catalan video, not just audio?
Yes — upload MP4/MOV/WebM or paste a link; the audio track is extracted automatically and transcribed the same way.
How much does it cost?
A pack from $4 (500 minutes) opens the full transcript. Preview any transcript instantly with no signup; a pack from $4 opens the full transcript, no account needed. After that, one-time credit packs: $8 for 1,000 minutes, $12 for 2,000 minutes or $24 for 5,000 minutes, and credits never expire.
Is this live captioning?
No — Whipscribe transcribes recordings, not live speech. Upload a file that already exists and the Catalan transcript is typically ready in about a minute per half hour of audio.
