Supported languages: every language Zeepit transcribes, translates and reads aloud

Which languages can Zeepit transcribe and summarize?

Zeepit transcribes speech in dozens of languages and writes the instant summary (short, medium or long) from that same transcript. You don't pick a language first: it is detected automatically when the file arrives, whether you shared it from a voice recorder, WhatsApp or Telegram, or picked it from Files or Google Drive.

The supported list grows over time, so the language menu inside the app is the reference. If a third-party page quotes a large round number of languages, trust what the app shows instead.

Some languages raise specific questions, so we wrote dedicated guides:

• Japanese audio to text on iPhone and Android
• Swedish, Norwegian and Danish recordings
• Italian lectures for students who need to sbobinare a class

Everything runs on the phone. There is no desktop app and no web upload tool.

How does automatic language detection work, and when can it struggle?

Detection identifies the spoken language from the audio itself, so the transcript comes out in the language people actually spoke. A French voice note gives a French transcript; a Japanese interview gives a Japanese one. Nothing is translated unless you ask for it.

Like any detection, it works best when the language is clear from the start. It can hesitate in a few situations:

• Very short clips of one or two words, where there is little speech to go on
• Long intros of music, silence or background noise before anyone talks
• Constant code-switching, where speakers change language every sentence
• Close languages spoken with a strong regional accent

When a recording mixes two languages, the transcript follows the speech. Expect the less dominant language to need a little more proofreading, and trim long silent or musical openings before sharing the file if you can.

Step by step

1. Send the recording

   Tap Share on the audio in your voice recorder, WhatsApp, Telegram or Drive and choose Zeepit, or pick the file from inside the app.

2. Let the language be detected

   The spoken language is identified automatically and the transcript is written in that language. No setting is needed first.

3. Choose a translation if needed

   Keep the output in the recording's language or pick another language for the translation and summary.

4. Read, listen or export

   Read the transcript and summary, have any text read aloud, or copy, share or export it as PDF, DOCX or plain text.

Can you translate a recording into another language?

Yes. After transcription you can keep the output in the language of the recording or choose another language for the translation. The original transcript stays available, so you can compare both versions.

Common cases where this helps:

• A voice note from family or a colleague in a language you only half understand
• An interview recorded abroad that you need to quote in your own language
• A lecture or meeting where part of the audience does not speak the speaker's language

A few habits make translations more useful:

• Quote from the original transcript and use the translation to understand it.
• Check names, numbers and technical terms, which are the easiest details to get wrong.
• Use a professional translator for contracts, medical or official documents.

Which texts can be read aloud, and in which languages?

Zeepit can read any text aloud: a transcript, a summary, a translation or text you bring in yourself. That makes the loop complete: audio becomes text, text can be translated, and the result can become audio again.

Reading aloud is useful when you want to:

• Hear how a translated sentence sounds before you reply to someone
• Listen to a long summary while walking or driving
• Proofread a transcript by ear, which catches missing words faster than reading

Voice quality and pronunciation can differ from one language to another, especially for names and loanwords. Test a short passage first in the language you need.

Both iPhone and Android also include built-in reading features in their accessibility settings. Our guide to reading text aloud on your phone compares them.

What makes a recording easier to transcribe in any language?

Language support is only half of the result. Audio quality matters just as much, whatever language is spoken:

• Keep the microphone close to the speaker. Distance costs more accuracy than accent does.
• One voice at a time. Overlapping speech is hard to transcribe in every language.
• Avoid background music and TV, especially with lyrics in another language.
• Don't convert files. mp3, m4a, wav, caf, ogg, opus, aac, flac, amr and webm are accepted as they are.
• Video works too: mp4, mov, mkv and avi files are accepted, and only the audio track is used.

A single recording can last up to 4 hours, which covers most lectures, interviews and meetings. For the full list of formats and what to do with unusual ones, see supported audio formats for transcription.

What happens to your recording, whatever its language?

The rules are the same for every language. The file is sent to Zeepit's servers, transcribed, and deleted right after. There is no archive, no reuse, and no AI training on your recordings. Transcripts and summaries stay on your device.

From there you can:

• Copy or share the transcript, summary or translation to any app
• Export a PDF, Word (DOCX) or plain-text file generated on the device

The first conversions are free right after install, long recordings included, with no account, no card and no ads. The usage is shown in the app, and a subscription is available if you need more.

To send a file, tap Share on the audio in another app and choose Zeepit; the share gesture is shown on the home page.
