Japanese audio transcription for recordings

Hushscript converts recorded Japanese speech into written text you can search, correct, and export. Japanese supports speaker labels, so an interview or saved conversation can remain separated by speaker instead of becoming one continuous block.

Japanese audio to text for recorded speech

Add a Japanese audio or video recording and preview up to 5 minutes before signup. The preview detects the source language automatically and shows the original-language transcript. It does not use source, dictionary, keyterm, prompt, or translation choices.

For the full job, recordings can run up to 10 hours. Select Japanese as the source, then add proper names and recurring terms as one-off keyterms, use a prompt for the recording, or apply saved dictionary and prompt context. These choices guide the full transcription rather than changing the preview you already checked.

Japanese voice to text you can review and edit

The transcript workspace lets you correct words, rename or reassign speakers, search the text, and use find and replace. This gives interviews, lessons, voice notes, and recorded conversations a review step before you export or create captions.

Hushscript is automated Japanese speech-to-text software. Machine transcripts can contain errors, so review proper names and terms yourself before you rely on them.

Japanese captioning with time-coded text

For Japanese captioning, start with the original transcript, correct proper names, and check the speaker turns. Subtitle segmentation controls let you review how the text is divided before you export SRT, VTT, ASS, or another timed-text format.

The exported file contains time-coded Japanese text for a caption workflow. Captions are not burned into the video, so you can take the caption file into the player or editor you already use.

English to Japanese voice translation as written text

For recorded English-to-Japanese translation, set English as the source and optionally add Japanese as a target for the full job. Hushscript keeps the Original English and written Japanese translation in separate language tabs. Choose the language you need when you export.

The word “voice” describes the recorded English input. The result is Japanese text, not synthesized Japanese audio, dubbing, or live interpretation. Each optional translation target adds 25% of the recording duration to billed minutes.

Japanese audio to English text when needed

The reverse direction starts with recorded Japanese speech and optionally adds a written English translation. Set Japanese as the source and English as the target in the full job, then review the original and translation separately. You can also keep only the original Japanese transcript when translation is unnecessary.
