Dini kuu katika Moldova ni Ukristo wa Kiorthodoksi.
Measured on 20 FLEURS clips, 2026-09-05. That figure is for Swahili spoken on its own; accuracy on mixed speech is measured separately and not claimed here. Full method, all 59 languages
Swahili and English in one sentence
Urban Swahili borrows English constantly. Borrowed words stay where they were said instead of being dropped.
Timing measured against the audio
Word-level alignment rather than a model's guess, so subtitles do not drift out of sync as the clip runs.
One project, two tracks
Keep the Kiswahili original and add an English translation beside it, sharing the same timing.
Sheng — two languages in one sentence
Swahili as it is spoken in Nairobi or Dar es Salaam carries English through every other clause, and in Kenya it mixes further into Sheng. A transcriber that quietly translates those words into Swahili produces something nobody said. They are kept as spoken.
Wrong word? Fix it in seconds
Every word is editable with the video playing beside it, and you can drag any word’s timing by hand.
Nothing is automatic-or-nothing. You always see the result before you export.
A real project — the editor works the same in every language.Questions
Does it handle Swahili mixed with English?+
Yes. Mixed sentences are transcribed as one sentence, with each language kept where the speaker put it rather than normalised into one.
Can I translate a Swahili video into English?+
Yes. Translation runs as a second subtitle track on the same project, so the Kiswahili original stays intact.
What can I export?+
Subtitles burned into the video for Reels, TikTok and YouTube, or SRT and VTT files if you finish the edit elsewhere.
