Frequently Asked Questions
YobiYoba is an automatic transcription service.
We provide a simple, easy to use tool which allows you to transform speech into text, and you can optionally, and at your convenience, modify the automatic transcript and download it in your favorite format.
Our engineers constantly work to add additional languages to the YobiYoba service. For the moment we are able to offer automatic transcription in 29 languages. Here is the current list:
Of course, YobiYoba includes an option to automatically detect the language spoken in the audio file, letting the system determine the language for you. Note however that the system may make a mistake when selecting the language, it is therefore better to specify the spoken language if you know it.
The service allows you to select multiple languages in order to transcribe a multilingual audio file. If you choose the automatic language detection mode, you will need to specify the number of languages you want.
You can upload any type of audio or video files, or an archives. YobiYoba will handle extracting the audio portion of each file uploaded.
No, this is not needed. YobiYoba can separate the audio channels for you.
Not at all. Even though our transcription process is fast, you do not need to spend your time waiting for the transcription result. You can even activate the option in your account settings to be sent an email whenever a transcript is ready. You can also request the service to send you the transcript by e-mail.
The YobiYoba service only bills the time of the transcribed speech, and not the total file duration.
