SozAI reads m4a, mp3, wav, aac, mp4 and mov. 2. 02 ### Set Korean, or let it detect Choose Korean, or leave detection on. Recordings that mix Korean with English business vocabulary stay in a single transcript. 3. 03 ### Read, search and export The transcript arrives with speaker labels and word timestamps. Search it, ask it questions, generate a summary in Korean, or export SRT and VTT subtitles. Field notes ## What makes Korean hard to transcribe ### Honorifics rewrite the verb, not just the tone Korean encodes the relationship between speakers in the verb ending, and the same statement takes a different form depending on who is being addressed. A transcript that normalises everything to one speech level erases the hierarchy the meeting actually ran on, which is exactly the information a meeting record is supposed to preserve. ### Spacing rules that native speakers argue about Korean 띄어쓰기 decides where a phrase is one word and where it is two, and the rules are intricate enough that fluent writers disagree. Spacing changes meaning in real cases. Machine transcripts of Korean tend to be judged on spacing before anything else, because it is the most visible thing to get wrong. ### Consonants assimilate across word boundaries What is written and what is spoken diverge systematically: final consonants change under the influence of the next sound, so the audio does not contain the letters the orthography requires. Korean transcription therefore has to run the phonological rules backwards to recover the spelling. ### Sino-Korean homophones A large part of the formal vocabulary comes from Chinese roots, and many of those words are homophones in modern Korean. Context is the only separator — the audio genuinely does not distinguish them. This is where residual errors concentrate in legal, medical and academic recordings.

Longer ones live in the sections above. Does it keep the honorific level that was spoken? Yes. The transcript records the speech level actually used rather than rewriting every sentence into one register. In a meeting record this is substantive information: it shows who was deferring to whom, and normalising it away would change what the document says. Can it separate speakers in a Korean recording? Yes. Diarization runs on the audio, so each speaker gets a label and every turn a timestamp regardless of language. For interviews and recorded meetings this is what makes the transcript usable as a record you can quote from. How does it handle Korean spacing? The transcript is written with standard 띄어쓰기. Spacing is the most visible marker of transcript quality in Korean and the rules are genuinely intricate, so a proofreading pass on long documents is still worth budgeting for. Are Korean subtitles exported correctly? SozAI exports SRT and VTT in UTF-8 with word-level timing, so Hangul loads correctly in YouTube, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro and DaVinci Resolve without an encoding step. How much does Korean transcription cost? Every account gets 30 minutes per month free without a card. Beyond that SozAI is a flat monthly subscription with a shared pool of minutes, and the price is the same for every language. Current plans are listed on the pricing page.
