You get a Yoruba transcript with timestamps and speaker labels, which you can edit, translate or download as DOCX, TXT, SRT or VTT. ## How to transcribe Yoruba audio and video to text 1. **Add the Yoruba recording**: A Yoruba interview, podcast or film 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 Yoruba**: Open the language list and choose Yoruba under All Languages. Unsure what language a file is in? Auto Detect (beta) also recognises Yoruba. 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. ## Yoruba transcription at a glance | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Language list entry | Yoruba | | Script | The Latin alphabet | | Text direction | Left to right | | Speaker labels | Yes, requested on every upload | | Auto Detect (beta) | Recognises Yoruba | | Downloads | DOCX, TXT, SRT, VTT | | Translation | Into 116 languages, Yoruba among them | | Free plan | 500 one-time credits; files up to 500 MB and 30 min long | Facts checked October 2026. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can Exemplary AI convert Yoruba audio to text? Yes. Yoruba 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 Yoruba, 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 Yoruba transcript of a YouTube video? Paste the video's YouTube link where you would upload a file, choose Yoruba as the language and start. The Yoruba 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 Yoruba transcript? DOCX or TXT files, with optional timestamps, speaker names and highlights, or SRT and VTT subtitle files for Yoruba captions. ### Does the Yoruba transcript show who is speaking? Yes. Every upload asks for speaker labels and the default Yoruba 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 Yoruba automatically? Yes. Auto Detect (beta) in the language list recognises Yoruba. If you already know the recording is in Yoruba, choose it directly. ### Can I translate a Yoruba transcript? Yes, into any of 116 languages from the translate panel. Yoruba is on that list too, so transcripts in other languages can be translated into Yoruba. ### How much Yoruba 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. ## Related languages and tools - [Hausa Transcription](https://exemplary.ai/transcribe-hausa) - [Swahili Transcription](https://exemplary.ai/transcribe-swahili) - [Amharic Transcription](https://exemplary.ai/transcribe-amharic) - [Somali Transcription](https://exemplary.ai/transcribe-somali) - [Afrikaans Transcription](https://exemplary.ai/transcribe-afrikaans) - [Yoruba Subtitles](https://exemplary.ai/yoruba-subtitles) - [All transcription languages](https://exemplary.ai/transcription) - [YouTube transcript generator](https://exemplary.ai/transcribe-youtube-video) > Exemplary AI is a browser-based AI tool that turns long videos and recordings into short captioned clips, transcripts in 99 languages, subtitles, translations into 116 languages, and written posts such as summaries, blog posts and YouTube chapters.
