How it works with German
The tool on this page already has German selected: Echo transcribes in that language, separates each speaker and marks the minute of each turn. You can also change the language or let Echo detect it automatically. We’ve only measured accuracy in Spanish, so we won’t give you a figure for German: try it with your own audio.
Before you upload it
Three things worth knowing:
- Long compound words and technical terms are among the first things to go wrong. With a free account you can add them to the glossary.
- Echo transcribes each file in one language. If the meeting mixes German and another language, choose the one spoken most.
- If you’re going to quote the text, check doubtful parts by listening to that minute.

Frequently asked questions
Can I translate the transcript into Spanish?
Yes, with a free account: Echo translates the transcript and keeps the time and speaker of each paragraph.
Can I get subtitles in German?
Yes, with the free subtitle generator: upload the same video, choose German and download the SRT or VTT.
Does it spell company and product names correctly?
They may be misspelt, especially little-known ones. With a free account you add them to the glossary before transcribing and Echo takes them into account.
