Supported Transcription Languages
🎯 Who is this for?
This article is for anyone using Folktale who wants to know which languages are available for automatic transcription. This is useful for campaign organisers choosing response formats and for contributors who plan to respond in a language other than English.
Overview
When a contributor submits a video or audio response, Folktale can automatically transcribe what they say into text. This makes responses easier to read, search, and analyse.
💡 Note: Transcription accuracy depends on audio quality and the clarity of the speaker. For best results, contributors should speak clearly and record in a quiet environment.
