Use Case

Transcribe Pidgin Radio Shows and Broadcast Segments

Turn recorded Pidgin radio segments, phone-ins, and shows into accurate text with speaker labels and timestamps. See the exact price before you pay.

Running a Pidgin radio show or producing broadcast segments means you're constantly sitting on hours of recorded audio, morning drive segments, listener phone-ins, interview clips, that need to become text for your show notes, website recap, or a clip you're pulling for social media. Manually transcribing an hour-long phone-in show where three people are talking over each other in fast Pidgin is a slow, tiring job. Autrans transcribes the audio as spoken, tags each speaker so your host, co-host, and callers are clearly separated, and timestamps every segment so you can jump straight to the part you need for a highlight reel. Export the transcript for your show blog, or pull an SRT file to caption the clip you're posting. Your audio is never used to train any AI model.

Benefits

  • Transcribes fast, colloquial Pidgin as broadcast, not a cleaned-up formal version
  • Speaker labels separate host, co-host, and phone-in callers automatically
  • Timestamps make it fast to locate a specific moment for a highlight clip
  • AI summaries and topics help you write show recaps or website posts quickly
  • SRT/VTT export lets you caption social clips pulled from the broadcast
  • Handles English-Pidgin code-switching common in Nigerian radio presenting

Frequently asked questions

Can Autrans keep up with fast Pidgin during a live phone-in segment recording?

Yes, Nigerian Pidgin is a core supported language, and Autrans transcribes it as spoken, including the quick back-and-forth typical of phone-in segments, rather than requiring slow, formal speech.

How does it handle multiple people talking, like a host, co-host, and a caller?

Speaker labels (diarization) tag each distinct voice in the recording, so your transcript shows who said what even when three or more people are part of the conversation.

Can I use this to caption a short clip I'm pulling from a longer show for social media?

Yes, export the relevant section as SRT or VTT and it will drop directly into your video editor as captions, which is the fastest way to get a broadcast clip ready for Instagram or TikTok.

Does Autrans do live, real-time transcription during the broadcast?

No, Autrans transcribes recorded audio after the fact. You upload the recording once the segment is done, and it's not built for live, on-air captioning.
