Transcribe Nepali audio to text
Transcribe Nepali audio to text: our engine takes 99+ languages, AssemblyAI lists Nepali among 99 languages. Which part of a recording goes where, and what it costs.
Nepali is not one of the 99+ languages our engine handles: 99+ languages, that is all. AssemblyAI lists Nepali among 99 languages (assemblyai.com/languages, read 22 October 2026). The Nepali part goes there, the 99+ languages part comes here.
One call, 99+ languages
A support line in Nepali leaves a recording and nothing else: no summary, no searchable text, a number spoken once in the middle of the hour. Turning it into words takes the right engine for the language. The recording language is detected automatically.

Tips
Split the file by the language before you upload it.
Keep the Nepali transcript next to the Russian one.
Name the file after the call, not after the day.
Ask for a transcript, not a summary, when the file matters.
Questions this page answers
Can your service handle a Nepali recording?
Not yet, and we would rather write that down than hide it. 99+ languages today: 99+ languages. AssemblyAI lists Nepali among the 99 languages it publishes.
Will the transcript at least be close?
No. Without a Nepali model the words come back wrong, and a wrong transcript with timecodes is worse than no transcript, because it looks finished.
What does the free plan give?
$0 with three files a day and up to 30 minutes per file, and it asks for no card. A paid plan is $10 a month when you pay for the year.
Where does the file go after the upload?
A Russian or mixed file is processed by our own engine on infrastructure outside the United States. A pure English file may go to a cloud speech provider in the United States, when that fallback is on.
Is there an API for the Russian part?
Yes: a REST API, an MCP server with four tools, and plugins for Claude and ChatGPT. The language field takes ru, en or auto.
