Transcribe Tagalog Audio and Video, Get the Text
Upload a Tagalog video or audio file, or paste a link, and ScreenApp turns the spoken Tagalog into a transcript with speaker labels and timestamps. There is no download step for a URL: paste the link and the tool fetches and transcribes it directly.
You get a transcript you can search, edit in the browser, and export, instead of replaying the recording to find a quote.
What you get:
- A transcript with speaker labels and timestamps, in 99 languages
- Export as PDF, DOCX, TXT, SRT and VTT
- Translate the transcript or captions: transcript and caption translation
- Ask AI questions about the recording and get answers that point to the moment it happened
- Free plan: one recording of up to 45 minutes, with AI chat on it
How to Transcribe a Tagalog Video to Text
- Upload or paste a link: Drag in your Tagalog video or audio file (MP4, WebM, MOV, AVI, MKV, WMV, and FLV, or MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, OGG and FLAC) or paste a link from YouTube, Vimeo, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and most other public video links (Twitch, Loom, Dropbox, Google Drive, Pinterest, X, Threads, Douyin, Kuaishou, Bilibili) through a generic importer.
- Let it transcribe: The Tagalog audio is converted to text, speakers are separated, and every sentence gets a timestamp.
- Search, edit, export: Read the transcript in the browser, edit it, and export as PDF, DOCX, TXT, SRT and VTT.
Accuracy depends on the audio. Clean, single-speaker Tagalog audio with no background noise transcribes best; a distant microphone, code-switching with English, or overlapping speakers will have more gaps. See how we measure accuracy by language.

- vs ElevenLabs: ElevenLabs’ Filipino speech-to-text page lists smart speaker diarization and charges $0.40 per hour of transcribed audio; it does not state a free-tier limit or export formats on that page. ScreenApp’s free plan is one recording of up to 45 minutes, with AI chat included.
- vs TurboScribe: TurboScribe’s own pricing page states a free plan of 3 files a day, up to 30 minutes each, with an unlimited plan at $10 a month. ScreenApp’s free plan does not reset daily but caps at 45 minutes on one recording, with AI chat and translation included.
- vs GoTranscript: GoTranscript lists 140+ languages and offers speaker IDs as part of a separate custom data-labeling service; its per-minute transcription rate sits behind a linked spreadsheet rather than on the pricing page itself. ScreenApp includes speaker identification on every transcript by default.

FAQ
How accurate is Tagalog transcription?
Accuracy is measured by language on the accuracy page, which lists Tagalog among the supported languages with word-level speaker diarization. Accuracy drops with background noise, overlapping speakers, or a distant microphone.
How do I transcribe a Tagalog video?
Upload your video or audio file, or paste a link, and the transcript is generated automatically with speaker labels and timestamps. Read it in the browser, edit it, then export it in your preferred format.
Can I transcribe a Tagalog YouTube video?
Yes. Paste the video’s link and the tool fetches and transcribes it directly, with no separate download step.
Is there a free way to transcribe Tagalog audio or video?
Yes. See the pricing page for the current free plan, which includes the transcript, speaker labels, and AI chat on that recording.
Can I get speaker labels on a Tagalog transcript?
Yes, speaker identification runs automatically and labels each speaker in the transcript, with a timestamp linking each sentence back to its moment in the recording.
Is Tagalog the same as Filipino for transcription?
Tagalog is the language most Filipinos speak natively, and it is the base of Filipino, the country’s national language. ScreenApp transcribes audio and video labeled as either. If you want the broader national-language page, see Filipino transcription.
Can a Tagalog transcript be translated?
Yes. See the translator for how transcript and caption translation works.
What formats can I upload for Tagalog transcription?
Common video and audio formats are supported; see the supported file types help article for the full list. You can also paste a link instead of downloading the file first.
Is it safe to upload Tagalog recordings for transcription?
