How well does it handle Persian (Farsi)?
Supported end-to-end; treat the output as a fast first draft and plan a review pass — it still beats typing from scratch.
Right-to-left Persian script; Iranian Farsi transcribes most accurately.
Dari and Tajik variants transcribe with reduced accuracy — review those. Exports keep RTL ordering.

Questions people ask
Do I need to tell it the audio is Persian (Farsi)?
No — the language is detected from the first seconds of audio automatically. If a recording mixes Persian (Farsi) and English, each part is transcribed in the language actually spoken.
Can I get English text from Persian (Farsi) audio?
No. The transcript comes back in the language that was spoken, so Persian (Farsi) audio produces Persian (Farsi) text. Captions and every export stay in the source language; translation is not something Whipscribe does.
Does it work on Persian (Farsi) 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 Persian (Farsi) transcript is typically ready in about a minute per half hour of audio.
