Yes. Amharic is in the upload language list. Upload the recording (MP3, WAV or M4A) or video (MP4, WEBM, MOV or MKV), or paste a link, choose Amharic, and the transcript opens in the editor. Transcripts are accurate on clear audio, with an editor to review and fix any errors. ### How do I get the Amharic transcript of a YouTube video? Paste the video's YouTube link where you would upload a file, choose Amharic as the language and start. The Amharic transcript opens in the editor with timestamps and speaker labels, ready to edit, translate or download as DOCX, TXT, SRT or VTT. If a link will not import, download the video and upload the file instead. ### What can I download from an Amharic transcript? DOCX or TXT files, with optional timestamps, speaker names and highlights, or SRT and VTT subtitle files for Amharic captions. ### Does the Amharic transcript show who is speaking? Yes.

In the editor you can rename speakers, add new ones or move a paragraph to another speaker. ### Can Exemplary AI detect Amharic automatically? Yes. Auto Detect (beta) in the language list recognises Amharic. If you already know the recording is in Amharic, choose it directly. ### Can I translate an Amharic transcript?

Amharic is on that list too, so transcripts in other languages can be translated into Amharic. ### How much Amharic audio can I transcribe on the Free plan? 500 one-time credits; files up to 500 MB and 30 min long.
