Frequently asked questions
Does Mictoo handle Swiss German?
Whisper can transcribe many Swiss German recordings. Set the language to German and review dialect vocabulary because the output may mix dialect spelling and Standard German.
Are compound words joined correctly?
Common compounds are usually kept as single words. Review uncommon names and specialist terminology in Editor mode.
Are umlauts (ä, ö, ü, ß) preserved?
Yes. Whisper outputs proper German orthography including all umlauts and the sharp s (ß).
Can I translate the transcript to English?
Yes. Pick English as the target and click Translate. GPT-4o-mini translates and appears alongside the original.
Is German transcription free?
Yes. Files up to 25 MB can be transcribed anonymously or up to 180 MB when signed in. No watermark and no per-minute fee.
Are my audio files stored?
No. Audio streams to the transcription provider, gets processed once, and is dropped. Transcripts persist only on signed-in accounts.
