Questions

Common questions

Can Exemplary AI convert Urdu audio to text?
Yes. Urdu 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 Urdu, 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 Urdu transcript of a YouTube video?
Paste the video's YouTube link where you would upload a file, choose Urdu as the language and start. The Urdu transcript opens in the editor, right to left, 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.
Does Exemplary AI handle right-to-left Urdu?
Yes. Urdu is on Exemplary AI's right-to-left list, so the transcript editor, the subtitle editor and the caption preview all run Urdu text from right to left.
Does the Urdu transcript show who is speaking?
Yes. Every upload asks for speaker labels and the default Urdu 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.
Is there a separate option for Urdu from Pakistan or India?
No. Urdu has a single entry in the language list, and it is the one to choose whether the speaker is from Pakistan, India or elsewhere.
Can I translate an Urdu transcript?
Yes, into any of 116 languages from the translate panel. Urdu is on that list too, so transcripts in other languages can be translated into Urdu.
How much Urdu 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.

Drop in a recording and work from the transcript — clips, captions, chapters, show notes and posts all come from the same file.
