Sample transcript

What a transcript of Filipino audio looks like, with speaker labels and timestamps.

  1. 00:02
    Speaker A

    Okay, simulan na natin. Kumusta na yung report para sa client?

  2. 00:06
    Speaker B

    Halos tapos na po. Kulang na lang yung sales figures galing sa finance.

  3. 00:12
    Speaker A

    Sige. Pwede mo bang i-follow up sila ngayong araw?

  4. 00:16
    Speaker B

    Opo, magme-message ako mamaya at ipapadala ko bago mag-Biyernes.

How it works

  1. 1

    Add your Filipino audio

    Upload a Filipino audio or video file, paste a YouTube or Facebook link, or record a meeting with the desktop app or Chrome extension. LiteScribe starts transcribing a recorded meeting as soon as it ends. MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, and WebM all work.

  2. 2

    Choose Filipino (Tagalog)

    Select Filipino (Tagalog) in the language list. Picking it yourself is more reliable than automatic detection for Taglish recordings, where the English words can make the audio sound like English.

  3. 3

    Get your transcript

    LiteScribe returns a Filipino transcript with speaker labels, punctuation, an AI summary, action items, and topic tags. English terms, names, and acronyms inside Tagalog sentences are worth a quick check in the editor before you share it.

  4. 4

    Translate and export

    Translate the transcript into English with the Translate button, ask AI questions about what was said, then export TXT or SRT on any plan, or DOCX and PDF on Pro, Business, or with a minute pack.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Filipino is one of the well-supported languages for recorded files, and clear Tagalog speech from a headset or a phone held close transcribes well. Accuracy drops with crosstalk, music, and background noise, as it does for any service, and fast Taglish full of English jargon needs a few more corrections. Every transcript is editable, so fixing a name takes seconds.

Taglish, the everyday switching between Tagalog and English, is normal in Philippine offices, call centers, and classrooms. Select Filipino for those recordings and check the English terms when you review. Cebuano, Ilocano, Hiligaynon, and other Philippine languages are not among the 99 supported languages, so recordings in them will not transcribe reliably.

Yes. Press Translate on the transcript page and pick English or another of the 19 target languages. Translation is included on every plan, which makes it easy to share a Filipino interview or team call with colleagues who do not speak Tagalog.

Not word by word yet. Filipino is not one of the live languages, so captions do not appear while people speak. Record the meeting with the desktop app or Chrome extension instead, and LiteScribe starts transcribing it as soon as you stop, with speaker labels and a summary, at 1 credit per minute.

Yes. LiteScribe includes 120 free transcription minutes every month with no credit card required, covering Filipino uploads, links, and recorded meetings. That is about two hours of interviews or four half-hour meetings. Minute packs and the Pro and Business plans are on the pricing page if you need more.

Yes, with Local Mode in the desktop app. It transcribes Filipino audio on your own computer with an on-device speech model, so the audio never leaves your machine and nothing is sent to any third-party AI service. Local Mode comes with Pro and Business, or with any minute pack for 30 days.
