Words worth adding to your custom dictionary
Every language has a handful of words any engine has to guess at. In Galician these are the usual ones. Add them to your custom dictionary once and they come back right in every transcript from then on.
| Commonly guessed | What you meant | Why they collide |
|---|---|---|
| hasta | ata | Castilian borrowings displace the Galician form mid-sentence. |
| Orense | Ourense | Place names carry both Galician and Castilian spellings. |
| é | e | The accent separates is from and. |
Getting the best Galician transcript
Add the Galician spellings you want to your custom dictionary. Galician sits close to Portuguese, and the dictionary is what holds the standard you publish in.
Record bilingual meetings with a close microphone. Galician and Castilian alternate freely, and clean audio makes the switches easier to follow.
Common questions about Galician transcription
Who needs Galician transcription?
Galician regional government and public bodies, universities in Santiago de Compostela and Vigo, regional broadcasters, and cultural and heritage projects working in Galician.
How accurate is Galician transcription?
We estimate around 95.6% on clear, single-speaker Galician audio. Recording quality moves that figure further than the language does, so a close microphone and one person speaking at a time is the biggest lever you have. Names, places and industry terms go into your custom dictionary once and come back right in every transcript after that.
Which Galician accents and dialects are supported?
These varieties: Central Galician, Western, Eastern. The model is built for all of them, so a recording with several accents in the room is handled the same way as one without.
What is distinctive about Galician?
Galician sits close enough to Portuguese that a careless transcript drifts between the two spellings. The model holds the Galician standard rather than resolving ambiguous words into their Portuguese forms.
Will Galician text export correctly?
Yes. Galician text (Latin) comes through every export unchanged: Microsoft Word, PDF, plain text, and SRT, VTT and Avid DS subtitles. Text direction and diacritics survive the round trip, so a transcript opens the way it looked in the editor.
How long does Galician transcription take?
Most transcriptions are ready in less time than the length of the file. A 60-minute recording is typically processed well under an hour, and you get an email as soon as it is ready.
Can I translate a Galician transcript?
Yes. Pick a target language and click translate: your Galician transcript is translated into any of 60+ languages as a full, editable document with word-level timestamps preserved, so you can export subtitles from the translation just as you would from the original.

This has got to be the fastest, easiest and cheapest way to create transcriptions. This makes writing meeting minutes so much easier. A big fan!
We've transcribed six hour-long interviews and go-transcribe works a treat. not 100% by any means, but good enough to save us days of manual transcription.
I used Go Transcribe to make the initial transcription and it was much easier. I'll certainly recommend it and use it again.
This service saves me a ton of time, and for the price the accuracy is really good. I sent a message to the support team and they replied really quickly.
