About Occitan transcription

Occitan (Occitan) is written in the Latin alphabet and spoken principally in southern France and neighbouring valleys. Subtitles generated here come back in that script, as ordinary written Occitan, ready to use in an SRT or VTT file.

Occitan covers several varieties — Provençal, Languedocien and Gascon among them — that differ enough in sound and vocabulary to complicate a single transcript. French is present in most recordings, and detection between Occitan and neighbouring Romance languages is not dependable.

Getting a better Occitan transcript

• Set the language to Occitan rather than leaving detection on, particularly for clips under a minute where there is little audio to judge from.
• Upload the highest-quality audio you have; compression artefacts cost more accuracy than most people expect.
• Check proper nouns, place names and numbers first — recognition errors concentrate there.
• Read the transcript before exporting. Occitan subtitles are editable up until you download them.

Occitan subtitles in another language

The same Occitan audio can produce subtitles in any of the 76 supported languages instead of in Occitan itself. English is the most common target, but every pair works, and the translated file keeps the original timings so it drops onto the same video unchanged.
