Regions & Dialects Supported
PlainScribe's Portuguese transcription accurately recognizes speech from speakers in:
- Brazilian Portuguese
- The largest share of uploads. Best-supported.
- European Portuguese
- Heavily reduced unstressed vowels make it harder for speech models than Brazilian, so leave extra review time.
- African Portuguese (Angola, Mozambique)
- Transcribed in standard spelling. Local names and terms need review.
Choosing Portuguese as the audio language
Pick Portuguese explicitly for short clips. Detection between closely related languages like Portuguese and Spanish is least reliable when there is little audio to go on.
Reviewing a Portuguese transcript
Vocabulary differs between Brazil and Portugal ("ônibus" vs "autocarro", "você" vs "tu"), so decide which conventions your readers expect before editing.
