What's different about Kapwing?
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Swahili Transcript Generator free?
Yes, you can generate Transcripts in Swahili for free using Kapwing, with 10 minutes of transcription per month. When you upgrade to a Pro Account, you unlock additional minutes.
Is there a watermark on exports?
If you're using Kapwing with a Free Account, any transcript you download will be in a plain TXT file without any watermark. However, if you add visuals or subtitles to your transcript to create a video file then the MP4 export will contain a small watermark. Once you upgrade to a Pro Account, all watermarks will be removed from creations.
How many languages can you translate transcripts into?
Our Transcription tool supports over 100 languages, including English, Chinese, Spanish, Hindi, French, Arabic, and more. Plus, most major languages have support for multiple variants, ensuring every transcript you create is accessible and relevant to the audience you're targeting.
How does a Swahili transcription improve accessibility?
Using a Swahili transcription tool improve accessibility for both video and audio content. Many online users experience some degree of hearing loss, making accurate transcripts essential for inclusive communication. A Swahili transcript allows deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences to read along and fully understand the spoken content. Transcripts can also be used to create Subtitles, which support a wider range of users — especially when styled with accessible color combinations, such as high-contrast text (e.g. white on black or yellow on blue), to assist viewers with visual impairments or color blindness.
How does Swahili transcript generation work?
Swahili transcript generation works through automatic speech recognition, which analyzes the audio in your video and recreates it as written text. Leveraging powerful AI machine learning and large linguistic databases, our Transcript Generator turns your spoken content into a clean TXT file you can download. If you want to utilize timestamps and VTT or SRT file formats, you can easily convert your transcript into a subtitles file in the Subtitles Editor.
How long does it take to generate a transcript in Swahili?
Our transcription tool usually creates a Swahili transcription in less than a minute, though the time can vary from one to three minutes depending on the length of the original video.
What video and audio file types does Kapwing support?
Kapwing supports a large variety of popular video and audio formats, including MP4, MOV, WebM, MPEG, OGG, AVI, MP3, FLAC, and M4A. Note that video exports are always in MP4 and audio in MP3, as we feel these file types represents the best tradeoff between file size and quality.
Kapwing is free to use for teams of any size. We also offer paid plans with additional features, storage, and support.
