Filipino is the national language of the Philippines and is based on Tagalog, an Austronesian language. It is used by more than 45 million people as a first or second language across the archipelago, and it is one of the two official languages alongside English. Filipino recordings span broadcast news, vlogs, sermons, interviews and podcasts, and it is written in the Latin alphabet.
ConvertSpeech transcribes them automatically. Upload your audio or video and our speech-recognition engine writes out the spoken Filipino as text with punctuation, ready to copy into a document, subtitle file or translation tool. It runs in your browser, needs no installation, and your first minutes are free with no account required.

Taglish and code-switching
Everyday Filipino speech mixes freely with English — a blend so common it has its own name, Taglish. A single sentence may switch between Tagalog and English mid-thought, and many technical, business and pop-culture terms are simply said in English. This code-switching is the defining feature of how Filipino is actually spoken, and it is exactly what a good transcription needs to capture.
ConvertSpeech handles this mixed speech and writes each word in the language it was spoken, so Taglish comes out as Taglish rather than being forced into one language. As always, the largest factor in accuracy is recording quality — a clear signal with little background noise beats everything else.
Tips for accurate Filipino transcription
- Record with a good microphone and minimal background noise for the best accuracy.
- Filipino speech often mixes in English (Taglish), which the engine can handle — review those switches in the transcript.
- One speaker at a time transcribes best; overlapping speech reduces accuracy.
- Keep the language set to Filipino rather than auto-detect when you know the recording is Filipino.
- For interviews, enable speaker detection (a free registered feature) to label each speaker.
