Questions

Common questions

Can Exemplary AI convert Somali audio to text?
Yes. Somali 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 Somali, 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 Somali transcript?
DOCX or TXT files, with optional timestamps, speaker names and highlights, or SRT and VTT subtitle files for Somali captions.
Does the Somali transcript show who is speaking?
Yes. Every upload asks for speaker labels and the default Somali 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 Somali automatically?
Yes. Auto Detect (beta) in the language list recognises Somali. If you already know the recording is in Somali, choose it directly.
Can I translate a Somali transcript?
Yes, into any of 116 languages from the translate panel. Somali is on that list too, so transcripts in other languages can be translated into Somali.
How much Somali 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.

One upload. Every format you need.
