Transcribe audio in German

German plays two tricks on automatic transcription: every noun is capitalised, and compound words can run absurdly long, which throws models trained mostly on English. The text comes back with ä, ö, ü, with ß and with capitals where the grammar requires them, so you don't spend an afternoon fixing capitalisation.

  • Umlauts and ßNot swapped for digraphs.
  • Right capitalisationNouns as the grammar asks.
  • Compound wordsWhole, not split in half.

Three steps and the text is yours

Nothing to install, no plugin, no converting the file first.

  1. 1

    Upload the file

    Audio or video, up to 5 GB. If it's video we only read the audio track — no need to extract anything first.

  2. 2

    Pick the language

    Or leave it on Detect. Pinning the language pays off when the audio is short, noisy or switches between two languages.

  3. 3

    Download the text

    It runs in the background and you can close the tab. When it's done it shows up in your list, ready to download.
