💡Note:

The default language in Reduct is English, but you can set your preferred language at the project level or adjust it for individual recordings as needed.

Setting the language at project level

When creating a new project, you can set the default language for all your recordings directly from the project description box.

Setting the language for a specific recording

If your project has a mix of different languages, you can set the languages individually for each recording right before importing. To do that,

  1. Go to the Media files section of your recording and click on English to open up a dropdown with available languages.
  2. Select the original language of the recording to get transcripts in that language, such as Spanish in this example:

How to deal with multilingual audio?

Reduct can also transcribe recordings with multiple languages.

If you have a recording with two (or more) languages, you can select all of them in the language selector to get a multilingual transcript.

For example, if you were working with body-worn camera footage from a police interrogation where an interpreter is switching between English and Spanish, you would select English + Spanish from the dropdown menu.

Translation and multi-language captions

Reduct also supports translations from any of the 90+ languages offered to any other language supported by the system.
