In short

Marathi is not one of the 99+ languages our engine takes, 99+ languages. The market covers it: AssemblyAI puts Marathi in the moderate band, 25–50 % word error rate, at $0.15 an hour, and lists it among the 32 languages of its realtime model at $0.45 an hour.

The case

Marathi, Devanagari and the mix

Marathi is written in Devanagari, and a Marathi recording is often a mix of Marathi and English inside one sentence. Code-switching is the normal case here, not the exception, and it is where a transcript has to be checked twice: once for the words, once for the language boundary.

How it works

How to transcribe a Marathi recording

  1. 1

    Pick a model with Marathi in it

    Sonix lists 54+ languages and charges $10 an hour or $25 a month for five hours. AssemblyAI's Universal-2 covers 99+ languages at $0.15 an hour and puts Marathi in the moderate band.

  2. 2

    Expect the English words inside

    A Marathi sentence with an English product name in it is 99+ languages in one line. Check the boundaries first, because that is where a model changes its spelling habits.

  3. 3

    Use the realtime model for live audio

    Marathi is one of the 32 languages of the AssemblyAI realtime model at $0.45 an hour. For a recorded file the asynchronous model is the cheaper route.

  4. 4

    Keep the timecode with the quote

    CSV puts the start and the end of every segment next to the speaker. DOCX is the format for the written article, SRT for the subtitles under a video.

Tips

  • Mixed Marathi and English: check the language boundaries.

  • The realtime model covers Marathi; the async one is cheaper.

  • Ask for CSV before the editor asks for it.

  • Names of towns and people break before ordinary words do.

Questions about Marathi transcription

Does AssemblyAI really cover Marathi?

Yes. Marathi is in the 32-language list of the realtime model and in the moderate band of the 99+ language model, 25–50 % word error rate. Both numbers come from the model reference updated 28 September 2026.

How much does Marathi transcription cost?

AssemblyAI charges $0.15 an hour for Universal-2 and $0.45 an hour for the realtime model. Sonix Core is $10 an hour or $25 a month for five hours. TurboScribe starts at $10 a month paid yearly.

What about mixed Marathi and English?

It is common in Marathi offices and it is the hardest case, because the model has to change script in the middle of a sentence. Check the boundary of every English phrase even when the error rate looks good.

Can Transcribsi do Marathi?

No. The recording language is detected automatically. Marathi belongs to the services in the table above.
