# Hausa Transcription

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

## How to transcribe Hausa audio and video to text

1. **Add the Hausa recording**: A Hausa radio programme, interview or lecture 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 Hausa**: Open the language list and choose Hausa under All Languages. Unsure what language a file is in? Auto Detect (beta) also recognises Hausa.
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 Hausa audio to text?

Yes. Hausa 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 Hausa, and the transcript opens in the editor. Transcripts are accurate on clear audio, with an editor to review and fix any errors.

### What can I download from a Hausa transcript?

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

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

Yes. Every upload asks for speaker labels and the default Hausa 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.

### Can Exemplary AI detect Hausa automatically?

Yes. Auto Detect (beta) in the language list recognises Hausa. If you already know the recording is in Hausa, choose it directly.

### Can I translate a Hausa transcript?

Yes. The translate panel offers 116 languages. Hausa is not one of them, so transcripts in other languages cannot be translated into Hausa.

### How much Hausa 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.
