German is one of the strongest languages here, and a clear recording usually needs only light corrections. Standard German gives the best results, and strong regional dialects are harder. Long compound words usually come out right; names and technical terms are worth a check.
Questions
Are umlauts and ß kept?
Yes. The text is written in normal German spelling, with ä, ö, ü and ß.
Can I transcribe a recorded meeting?
Yes, if you have the recording as a file. Zoom and Teams can both save the meeting's audio or video; drop that here. Speakers aren't labelled, so the text comes as one stream.
How long can the recording be?
Up to 90 minutes, in a file under 95 MB.
Does it translate German into English?
Yes: translate German to English audio. This page keeps the text in German.
