Verbatim turns Indonesian audio into accurate text in minutes. Upload a recording, pick Clean or Verbatim mode, get speaker labels and a DOCX export ready for theses, research, or interviews. Built for Bahasa Indonesia — not an English tool with Indonesian bolted on.

Hi Product Hunt 👋 I built Verbatim because transcribing Indonesian audio was genuinely painful. The big tools are excellent — in English. Feed them Bahasa Indonesia and accuracy falls apart, especially with mixed Indonesian-English speech, regional terms, and the messy reality of real interviews. That's a real problem here. Every year, hundreds of thousands of Indonesian students transcribe interviews for their skripsi and theses by hand — 5 to 7 hours of typing for every hour of audio. Researchers, journalists, and legal teams have the same grind. Verbatim is built for Bahasa Indonesia from the ground up: 🎯 Accurate Indonesian transcription, including mixed-language audio ⚡ A draft in minutes, not hours (then a quick review — usually 80% faster than manual) 🗣️ Speaker labels for multi-person interviews 📝 Clean mode for readable notes, or true Verbatim mode (with fillers, pauses, [tertawa]) for qualitative research 📄 One-click DOCX export, formatted for thesis appendices It's free to try — upload your first recording and see the draft come back in a few minutes. I'd love your honest feedback, especially from anyone who's wrestled with non-English transcription. What would make this a daily tool for you? I'll be here all day answering. 🙏

@amantaa This is a genuinely smart problem to solve — the gap between English-optimized tools and Indonesian-specific needs is real, especially for academic work where accuracy matters. The thesis use case alone is compelling since manual transcription is such a bottleneck for students. Your feature set makes sense for that workflow, particularly the speaker labels and verbatim mode for qualitative research.
