Transcribe Romanian audio to text
Romanian audio to text: Romanian is a good band language, 10–25 % word error rate, on the 99+ language model of AssemblyAI. Prices and plan.
Romanian is not a language of our engine: Transcribsi covers 99+ languages only. In the market, Romanian is a good band language, 10–25 % word error rate, on AssemblyAI's 99+ language model at $0.15 an hour, and one of 32 languages in its realtime model.
Romanian, and the commas under the letters
Romanian sits close to Italian and Spanish, and the marks under the letters give it away: ș, ț, ă, â, î. A model that writes the old cedilla forms instead of the comma-below ones has heard the language and typed it with the wrong keyboard, and a reader will read that as an error in the text.

Check the letters that carry the comma
A transcript with ş and ţ instead of ș and ț is one keystroke away from correct. Search the file for the old forms before it goes anywhere near an editor.

Keep the timecode with the quote
CSV puts the start and the end of every segment in a cell next to the words, which is what a fact-checker needs to find the second a quote came from.
Tips
Search for the cedilla forms before you publish.
A Romanian recording and an Italian one need different models.
Keep CSV: the timecode is what a fact-checker needs.
The good band still leaves the names and the numbers to check.
