The fast model behind the free trial (Whisper) does not cover Odia. With a plan from €2.99, your recording runs on Microsoft MAI-Transcribe-2, which officially supports Odia.
MAI-Transcribe-2 also separates speakers, so the transcript shows who said what — useful for interviews, meetings and conversations in Odia. Microsoft reports an average word error rate of 5.2% across the model's 60 languages (FLEURS benchmark); individual languages score above or below that.
What matters for Odia
Many conversations in Odia switch to English mid-sentence. Microsoft says MAI-Transcribe-2 is built for this kind of code-switching; for mixed recordings, leave the language on "automatic" rather than forcing Odia.
Tips for better Odia transcripts
- In step two, pick "Odia" instead of automatic detection if the recording is short or starts with music.
- Record close to the microphone; a clip-on mic beats a built-in laptop mic by a wide margin.
- For mixed-language conversations, keep the language on "automatic" so the model can switch between languages.
- Check names, numbers and technical terms: click a timestamp to hear that exact passage.
Frequently asked questions
Can I transcribe Odia for free?+
No, Odia needs a plan: the free-trial model does not know the language. The day pass costs €2.99 and lasts 24 hours, no subscription.
Does Sprechverlauf separate speakers in Odia?+
Yes, with a plan. Microsoft MAI-Transcribe-2 separates speakers in Odia too; the transcript then shows "Speaker 1", "Speaker 2" and so on. The free trial gives plain text.
Do I have to select Odia before starting?+
No, the language is detected automatically. Selecting it helps with very short recordings.
Which files can I upload?+
MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG/Opus, FLAC, WebM, AAC, MP4, MOV — upload up to 100 MB or paste a direct link to the audio file. Download the result as Word, PDF, TXT, SRT or VTT.
