Bringing a Tajik video in
Drop in the video file without converting it: MP4, MOV, MKV, WEBM, AVI, 3GP or a screen recording from your phone. The audio is pulled out on our server, so every timestamp still points to the right moment in the video. If the video is online, choose Import from link and paste a public link from YouTube, TikTok, Vimeo, Dropbox or Google Drive, or a direct link to the file; only the sound is downloaded.
Telegram and Instagram videos can be saved to your phone and uploaded as files. The draft opens beside a player; click a line to replay it while you fix it.
Tajik Cyrillic and a rough draft
Tajik is written in Cyrillic with its own letters: ғ, ӣ, қ, ӯ, ҳ and ҷ. The model has very little Tajik training data, so expect a rough draft with many fixes, and sometimes Russian letters (и, х, к) where the Tajik ones belong. Clear speech from one speaker gives the best result.
Tajik is a form of Persian. The Persian setting understands much of the same speech but writes it in Persian (Arabic) script, which suits readers in Iran or Afghanistan and not readers in Tajikistan. Choose Tajik when you need Cyrillic. Russian words and whole sentences are common, especially in videos recorded by Tajiks working in Russia; those are written with Russian spelling or garbled.
Tajik videos people transcribe
Typical uploads:
- Family messages and video calls from relatives working in Russia.
- Wedding speeches and community events filmed on a phone.
- News clips and interviews, for quotes.
- Religious talks and poetry readings.
Subtitles and documents
Export SRT or VTT once the draft is corrected. The files are UTF-8, so the Tajik letters show in YouTube Studio and current editors; if an old program shows boxes for ӣ or ҷ, change to a font with extended Cyrillic such as Noto Sans. DOCX, PDF and TXT give a written version, with or without timestamps. Speaker labels are available on paid plans and with a Minute Pack.
English and the audio page
The transcript stays in Tajik; there is no built-in translation. 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. Machine translation from Tajik is also weaker than from Russian or Persian, so check important passages with a speaker. For audio-only recordings, see the Tajik audio to text page.
