From galego video to text
Drop in the video file without converting it: MP4, MOV, MKV, WEBM, AVI, 3GP or a screen recording from your phone. The sound is pulled out on our server, and every timestamp points to the same moment in the original video. If the video is online, use Import from link: public YouTube, TikTok and Vimeo videos, Dropbox and Google Drive share links and direct file links all work. Only the audio is fetched, one video per link, and several links can wait in the queue.
The transcript opens beside the player. Click a line and it plays; type and the fix is saved.
Between Spanish and Portuguese
Galician sits between Spanish and Portuguese, and the model knows both of those far better. The draft can drift into Spanish spelling (y for the Galician e, or Spanish verb forms) or into Portuguese spelling (lh, nh and ão where Galician writes ll, ñ and -ón); read for them. The text follows the official spelling of the Real Academia Galega, not the reintegrationist norm, so adjust if your publication uses that.
Many Galicians switch to Spanish mid-conversation, and castrapo mixes the two. Keep Galician selected when it is the main language and check Spanish passages. Galician is a lower-resource language for the model: clear speech gives a usable draft that needs a careful read.
Galician videos people transcribe
Typical uploads:

Galician subtitles (subtítulos)
Export SRT or VTT for subtitles in YouTube Studio, Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve; ñ and the accented vowels are kept in UTF-8. Edit first, then export.
DOCX and PDF suit reports and appendices. Speaker labels are available on paid plans and with a Minute Pack.
Translation and the audio page
Correct any Spanish or Portuguese spellings first; translation tools treat them as different words and the English version suffers.
The transcript is written in Galician as it was spoken; nothing is translated. To read it in English, open the Google Translate link on the transcript, or use the AI prompt export to hand the text to ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. For recordings without video, see the Galician audio to text page.
