Nepali Audio to Text
Transcribe and translate Nepali recordings, pay as you go
Nepali audio is transcribed into Devanagari script. Pick Nepali in the Audio language menu when you upload, since Auto-detect does not recognize it.
Upload a Nepali audio or video file (up to 1GB) and get a transcript with timestamps and speaker labels. Export it as TXT, Markdown, CSV, SRT, VTT or JSON, or translate it into English or any of the 59 supported languages.
Regions & Dialects Supported
PlainScribe transcribes Nepali as spoken in:
- Standard Nepali (Kathmandu)
- Broadcast, government and education standard. Written in Devanagari.
- Indian Nepali (Darjeeling, Sikkim)
- Transcribed into the same Devanagari spelling.
- Nepali–English and Nepali–Hindi mixing
- Common in interviews, YouTube content and diaspora recordings.
Choosing Nepali as the audio language
Always pick Nepali in the Audio language menu. Auto-detect does not recognize Nepali, and Nepali shares its script and many words with Hindi, so a file left on Auto can be mistaken for Hindi.
Reviewing a Nepali transcript
Check names, honorific verb endings, and English terms, which may be written in Devanagari or left in English.
Nepali mixed with English
PlainScribe transcribes each file in the one language you pick; it has no separate mixed-language mode. Pick Nepali for Nepali-led conversations, even with English or Hindi words mixed in, and check those words in review.

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is PlainScribe's Nepali transcription?
Accuracy depends on audio quality, background noise, accents and the language itself, and clear recordings in widely spoken languages do best. We don't publish an accuracy figure for Nepali: try your own recording with the free first transcript. Pick Nepali in the "Audio language" menu when you upload. Auto-detect recognizes 33 common languages, and Nepali is not one of them, so a file left on Auto can be misidentified.

Yes. PlainScribe transcribes Nepali audio and video, and you can translate the transcript into English or any of the 59 supported languages. The translation keeps the original timestamps.
