Hausa movies, short films and features, transcribed properly
Hausa (Harshen Hausa): Boko (Latin) script output with hooked letters (ɓ, ɗ, ƙ) preserved. English and Arabic loans are handled; plan a review pass for tone-dependent ambiguities.
Movie & film subtitless in particular: Dialogue in the film's own language becomes a timestamped SRT/VTT ready for festival submissions, distributor deliverables and accessibility passes. Note: subtitles come out in the language spoken on screen — this is transcription, not translation. A festival-ready SRT of the film's dialogue, a VTT for web players, and searchable dialogue for the edit — then shift or renumber cues in the free browser subtitle toolkit.
How it works
Record well
Feed the final cut or a screener export — feature-length files are the normal case, and the dialogue track alone works even better.

Read & export
Speaker-labeled, timestamped Hausa text in minutes. Export TXT, SRT, VTT, or DOCX.
Typical uses: Radio archives (the Hausa radio sphere is huge), interviews, sermons.
