Swahili, done right

Swahili is spoken in Kenya, Tanzania and East Africa. Subtitles for it need more than a translation of an English tool:

  • Accents and special letters are kept exactly as spoken.
  • Translate Swahili into English and back, or into any of the other 59 languages.

Swahili subtitles: common questions

How accurate are LipiSub’s Swahili subtitles?
LipiSub transcribes Swahili with a leading multilingual speech model, then an AI pass corrects recognition mistakes while keeping the speaker’s own words and dialect. Every line is timed to the spoken word. As with any automatic subtitles, review them in the editor before you publish.
Can I translate Swahili subtitles into English?
Yes. Translate Swahili subtitles into English or any of 60 languages in one click, and show both languages on screen together as bilingual captions.
Does it work when speakers mix Swahili with other languages?
Yes. Leave the language on auto-detect and LipiSub follows the speech, including videos that switch between Swahili and English.
How much does it cost to make Swahili subtitles?
Every new account gets 2 free minutes free. After that, credits start from रु299 for 60 minutes (US$2.20 by card): one credit is one minute of video, and credits never expire. Subtitle files (SRT, VTT, ASS) are always free to download.
