How to Transcribe a Video in Any Language (99 Languages)
You shouldn't have to tell a transcription tool what language a video is in — and with JotVox you don't. The speech-to-text engine recognises 99 languages and automatically transcribes each video in its original language, so nothing gets mistranslated into English by accident.
How automatic language detection works
When you paste a link, JotVox samples the audio, detects the spoken language, and returns the transcript in that language with timestamps. A Mandarin lecture comes back in Chinese; a French vlog comes back in French. If you also generate an AI summary, it's written in the same language as the video.
Languages people transcribe most
- English, Spanish, Portuguese and French for creators and marketers.
- Chinese, Japanese and Korean for East-Asian platforms like Bilibili and Weibo.
- Arabic, Hindi, German, Russian and dozens more.
Why original-language transcripts matter
Keeping the transcript in the source language preserves names, idioms and technical terms accurately — essential for subtitles, research, journalism and study. You can always translate afterwards, but you start from a faithful record.
Works across TikTok, YouTube, Bilibili and your own uploaded files.
