How well does it handle Telugu?
Supported end-to-end; treat the output as a fast first draft and plan a review pass — it still beats typing from scratch.
Telugu-script output with sandhi-joined forms written as spoken.
News and lecture audio is solid; fast conversational speech benefits from a review pass.
What you get
Speaker labels
Every voice in the recording is separated and labelled — works in Telugu 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 Telugu SRT and VTT subtitle files possible.
Search & quote
The transcript is searchable in Telugu — 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 Telugu?
No — the language is detected from the first seconds of audio automatically. If a recording mixes Telugu and English, each part is transcribed in the language actually spoken.
Can I get English text from Telugu audio?
No. The transcript comes back in the language that was spoken, so Telugu audio produces Telugu text. Captions and every export stay in the source language; translation is not something Whipscribe does.
Does it work on Telugu 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 Telugu transcript is typically ready in about a minute per half hour of audio.
