# Bengali (Bangla) Transcription

To transcribe Bengali audio or video to text, upload the file or paste a link, choose Bengali as the language and start. You get a Bengali transcript with timestamps and speaker labels, which you can edit, translate or download as DOCX, TXT, SRT or VTT.

## How to transcribe Bengali audio and video to text

1. **Add the Bengali recording**: A Bengali class recording, podcast or news clip works as an audio file (MP3, WAV or M4A), a video file (MP4, WEBM, MOV or MKV) or a YouTube, TikTok, Vimeo or X link. Upload the file or paste the link.
2. **Choose Bengali**: Open the language list and choose Bengali under All Languages. Unsure what language a file is in? Auto Detect (beta) also recognises Bengali.
3. **Check the transcript**: The transcript opens in the editor with timestamps. Each paragraph carries a speaker label that you can rename or reassign. Correct any misheard words before you export.
4. **Download or translate**: Download DOCX or TXT with optional timestamps and speaker names, or SRT and VTT subtitle files. The translate panel turns the transcript into any of 116 languages.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can Exemplary AI convert Bengali audio to text?

Yes. Bengali 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 Bengali, 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 Bengali transcript of a YouTube video?

Paste the video's YouTube link where you would upload a file, choose Bengali as the language and start. The Bengali 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 a Bengali transcript?

DOCX or TXT files, with optional timestamps, speaker names and highlights, or SRT and VTT subtitle files for Bengali captions.

### Does the Bengali transcript show who is speaking?

Yes. Every upload asks for speaker labels and the default Bengali speech model provides them, so each paragraph is tagged with a speaker. In the editor you can rename speakers, add new ones or move a paragraph to another speaker.

### Do I pick a different option for Bengali spoken in India?

No. Choose Bengali for speakers from Bangladesh or West Bengal; there is no separate regional Bengali entry.

### Can I translate a Bengali transcript?

Yes, into any of 116 languages from the translate panel. Bengali is on that list too, so transcripts in other languages can be translated into Bengali.

### How much Bengali audio can I transcribe on the Free plan?

500 one-time credits; files up to 500 MB and 30 min long. The paid plans raise both limits.
