I run a small English-language news channel covering European politics, and my best source is this German public broadcaster that drops hour-long livestreams at 6 AM Berlin time. I used to spend my entire morning pausing, rewinding, trying to catch what the anchor said about coalition talks. Now I just grab the audio, upload it, and get a clean TXT file back in about four minutes. The SRT option is clutch too—I can pull exact quotes with timestamps for my scripts. I started with the free tier for a two-minute segment to test it, and the umlauts actually came through right. Game changer for my Tuesday deadline.

Yes—Bavarian, Swabian, and standard Hochdeutsch all work. I tested it on a Hamburg-based anchor and a Munich correspondent in the same broadcast, and both came through clearly in the VTT output.
Export as SRT or VTT. Every line carries a timestamp, so I can jump straight to minute 23:14 in my video editor without scrubbing through the whole file.
The free tier covers shorter clips—perfect for testing. My typical 50-minute broadcast needs the paid plan, but I knew it worked because I verified the umlaut accuracy on a free 90-second sample first.
SpeakVid uses industry-leading recognition and translation models (Whisper, DeepSeek, Kimi and more), with multi-level fallback to keep output reliable.
Most tasks finish in minutes. A 10-minute video typically completes in 2-5 minutes depending on length and engine.
