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 is the training center of gravity.
Dari and Tajik variants transcribe with reduced accuracy — review those. Exports keep RTL ordering.

Search & quote

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?
Yes. Alongside transcription in Persian (Farsi), the engine can translate the speech to English text in the same pass — useful for subtitling Persian (Farsi) content for an international audience.
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?
The preview is instant with no signup. Credits are one-time purchases that never expire: $4 for 300 minutes, $12 for 2,000 minutes (about 36¢ per hour of audio).
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.
