Italian voice messages, lectures and regional speech
The transcript is written in standard Italian (italiano), with accented vowels such as è, perché and città where the spelling needs them. Speech from Milan, Rome, Naples or Palermo goes to the same model. Regional pronunciation is usually fine; dialect proper, such as Neapolitan or Sicilian, is a different matter and may come back as standard Italian or be misheard, so compare it with the audio.
Italians send long WhatsApp vocali instead of typing, and a transcript lets you read one in a meeting or search it later. Save the voice message from the chat and upload the file. Students use the same page for lezioni recorded at university, and researchers for interviews, where speaker turns keep the questions apart from the answers.
Italian speech is fast and full of elisions such as l'ho and c'è; they are written the way Italians write them. English words common at work, such as meeting or feedback, usually stay as spoken. The transcript stays in Italian and is not translated. For subtitles, the SRT file keeps the text with times from the spoken words.

Questions
What if my recording isn't in Italian?
Choose the language that is spoken, or pick automatic detection. If the transcript sounds like another language, one click transcribes the file again in that language.
Does it understand dialect?
Regional accents are handled by the Italian model. Dialects that are languages of their own, such as Neapolitan or Sicilian, may be written as standard Italian or misheard, so check those passages against the recording.
How do I transcribe a WhatsApp voice message?
Save or share the voice message from the chat to your phone or computer, then choose the file here. Long messages are transcribed like any other recording.
Is Italian transcription free?
Yes, within the free limits: 6 h of transcription in total, and the first 15 min of each transcript readable on the free plan. Sync Pro unlocks full transcripts.
