Transcribe Welsh audio to text
Welsh (Cymraeg) is spoken mainly in United Kingdom and written in the Latin alphabet. Upload a recording — lecture, interview, voice message or meeting — and get a searchable transcript with timestamps in a few minutes.
Transcribe Welsh nowHow well Welsh works on Sprechverlauf
Welsh works in the free trial: three transcriptions of up to 10 minutes per calendar month, no account, as text with timestamps. It runs on Whisper Large v3 Turbo, a model trained on roughly 100 languages.
Speaker separation is not available for Welsh yet: the model with speaker detection (MAI-Transcribe-2) does not support the language. Paid plans therefore give you plain text with timestamps — but for files of up to 4 hours instead of 10 minutes.
What matters for Welsh
Welsh is close to English. On short clips, automatic detection can mix them up — select Welsh explicitly before you start.
Tips for better Welsh transcripts
- In step two, pick "Welsh" 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.
- Overlapping speech hurts every recognizer. Short pauses between speakers help more than any editing afterwards.
- Check names, numbers and technical terms: click a timestamp to hear that exact passage.
Frequently asked questions
Can I transcribe Welsh for free?+
Yes. The free trial transcribes Welsh without an account: three files of up to 10 minutes per calendar month, as text with timestamps. Longer files and speaker separation start at €2.99, no subscription.
Does Sprechverlauf separate speakers in Welsh?+
Not yet. Speaker separation runs on MAI-Transcribe-2, which does not support Welsh. You get plain text with timestamps.
Do I have to select Welsh before starting?+
No, the language is detected automatically. Selecting it helps with very short recordings and because Welsh is easily confused with English.
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.
