Chinese Audio & Video Transcription
Upload a Chinese recording and get an accurate, timestamped transcript in minutes. Mandarin Chinese transcribes into simplified or traditional characters, handling the tonal distinctions that make Chinese speech recognition demanding. Recordings from mainland China, Taiwan, and Singapore are supported.
It works with every common file type — MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG, and FLAC audio, or MP4, MOV, and AVI video — for business meetings, interviews, lectures, and podcasts in Mandarin. One upload exports everywhere: DOCX and PDF documents, plain text, and SRT/VTT subtitles, all in proper Chinese orthography. Text translation is available on paid plans if you also need the transcript in another language.

Frequently asked questions
How accurate is Chinese transcription?
Accuracy depends mainly on recording quality, background noise, and the number of speakers — clear Chinese speech transcribes very well. The free plan lets you test with your own recording before paying, no credit card required.
What about Cantonese and other Chinese languages?
Mandarin is the strongest. Cantonese is also supported — test your specific recordings on the free plan, since accuracy varies more than for Mandarin.
Can I translate the Chinese transcript into English?
Yes — transcription happens in the original Chinese first, and text translation is available on paid plans. Transcribing first and then translating gives far better results than trying to do both in one step.
Are my files kept private?
Yes. Files are processed securely, are never used to train AI models, and can be deleted from your account at any time.
