Transcribe Korean Audio and Video to Text

Turn Korean recordings into editable Korean text with AI transcription, then prepare a transcript or timed subtitles for your project.

Taption is an online AI transcription tool that turns Korean audio and video into Korean text. Taption groups speech into meaningful subtitle segments, making subtitles easier to read and helping preserve context when translating into other languages. After signing in, you can edit the transcript and export TXT or PDF documents, or SRT or VTT subtitles. If you need an English version, you can translate the reviewed Korean transcript and create bilingual Korean–English subtitles.

Korean (South Korea) is preselected. Upload audio or video to get started.

Three details to check in a Korean transcript

Spacing, particles and sentence endings

Read each Korean sentence as a whole when checking spaces. In the example, 다음 주 means “next week”; keep the spacing intact when reviewing the transcript. Check attached particles and sentence endings in context, then split captions at readable phrase boundaries instead of relying on a character limit alone.

Honorifics and who is speaking

Titles, polite endings and the surrounding conversation help establish who is addressing whom. Check speaker labels before quoting a meeting or interview. When translating into English, resolve omitted subjects from context and preserve the difference between a plan, request and confirmed action without adding a commitment the speaker did not make.

Names, romanization and borrowed terms

A person or product may have a Korean spelling and a separate official English name. Keep the participant list or project glossary beside the recording and use those references consistently. Listen closely when speakers switch to English terms; a Korean recording setting does not guarantee recognition of every mixed-language passage.

A Korean interview, from transcript to subtitles

Two speakers discuss the release of a training video. Compare the Korean source with a labeled English translation, then download the same Korean wording and timestamps as an illustrative SRT subtitle file.

The examples on this page are illustrative, not recorded Taption results.

Export

A readable transcript

TXT · PDF

Use plain text for editing or reuse, or a PDF for a document you can read and share. A transcript document is different from a timed subtitle track.

Timed subtitles

SRT · VTT

Keep caption text and timestamps together for a video platform or editor. Review the timing and line length against the recording.

A finished video or editing timeline

MP4 · FCPXML

Export a video with visible subtitles, or use FCPXML in a compatible post-production workflow. Video quality and available export options depend on your plan.

Korean text first. English translation after review.

Korean transcription turns Korean speech into Korean text. For English text or subtitles, review the Korean transcript, then choose English in the translation workflow. Check names, titles, omitted subjects and sentence endings against the full conversation. Transcription and translation use minutes separately; review both tracks before exporting bilingual subtitles.

Interviews and business conversations

Keep a Korean source transcript with speaker labels and timestamps. Check participant names, roles, dates and conditions before sharing quotations or preparing an English version for colleagues.

Lessons and recorded training

Prepare Korean captions for a lesson and verify specialist terms against the course materials. Keep particles and sentence endings with the phrases they complete, then check each caption at playback speed.

English-language production

Give an editor or translator the reviewed Korean source alongside an English version. Confirm who each sentence refers to, choose consistent English spellings for names, and adjust caption breaks for reading time.

Which setting should I choose for Korean audio?

Choose Korean (South Korea) in the recording-language selector. It is preselected on this page even though the website is in English. Try a short passage with your speakers and subject matter before processing a larger project.

Will Korean transcription automatically produce English text?

No. Korean transcription produces Korean text. For English text or subtitles, review the Korean transcript and then choose English in the translation workflow. Translation is a separate operation that uses minutes.

Can I correct Korean spacing and names?

Yes. Sign in to review and edit the transcript while listening to the recording. Check spacing and particles in full sentences, and compare people or company names against an official spelling reference before replacing repeated text.

Can I transcribe regional Korean or Korean mixed with English?

Test a representative passage that includes the speech you expect. Review regional expressions, borrowed terms and language switches carefully. The Korean setting does not establish equal accuracy for every dialect or reliable recognition of all bilingual recordings.

Can I upload Korean audio as well as video?

Yes. Use an audio file such as MP3, WAV or M4A, or a video such as MP4 or MOV. Transcription follows the audible speech; it does not extract Korean text already shown on screen. The guest uploader accepts files up to 5 minutes and 200 MB.

How do I export Korean subtitles?

Review the Korean text, speaker turns, timestamps and phrase breaks, then export SRT or VTT for a subtitle track. Choose subtitled MP4 for text visible in the video, or FCPXML for a compatible editing workflow. Export options and video quality depend on your plan.

What should I check in Korean-to-English subtitles?

Compare the English with the reviewed Korean source. Confirm names, numbers, negation, titles and who performs each action. Preserve the intended level of politeness naturally in English, and watch at normal speed to check that the subtitles remain readable.
