Built for qualitative research, useful well beyond it.
Anywhere a conversation in Bahasa Indonesia has to become text you can quote.
Thesis interviews
Word-for-word transcripts for appendices and qualitative analysis, in the word-for-word format Indonesian theses commonly use.
Research and focus groups
In-depth interviews and FGDs with speakers separated automatically, and sessions that hold several recordings.
Meetings and minutes
A two-hour meeting becomes a tidy transcript, grouped by topic, that shows who spoke and when.
Podcasts and content
Record once, then reuse the text for articles, show notes, or subtitles.
Journalism
Source quotes with timestamps, easy to check against the audio before publishing.
UX and market research
User interviews and focus groups turned into quotable text, with timestamps to check against the audio.
Clean when you need to read it. Verbatim when every word counts.
Many tools tidy speech until the details disappear. Here you choose: tidied up, or exactly as spoken. Both come from the same transcript, so names and terms stay consistent.
Baik. Nama saya Sari Wulandari, saya dosen di program studi Komunikasi sudah sekitar dua belas tahun, dan melihat ada pergeseran yang cukup besar dalam lima tahun terakhir.
“Right. My name is Sari Wulandari. I have been a lecturer in Communication for about twelve years, and I have seen a big shift over the last five years.”
Iya iya, baik. Nama saya Sari Wulandari, eee… saya dosen di program studi Komunikasi [jeda 2 detik] sudah sekitar dua belas tahun.
The same answer with the fillers (“iya iya”, “eee”) and a timed pause ([jeda 2 detik], a 2-second pause) kept in.
Sample from an Indonesian interview, with an English gloss. Timestamps and speaker labels come with both outputs.
Check the transcript, then show that you did.
verbatim.id is built for transcripts that get attached to a thesis or a report and need to hold up when someone checks them.
Flagged words, one tap to check
Words the engine is unsure about are highlighted. Tap one to hear that moment of the recording, then accept or correct it. Alt+↓ jumps to the next flagged word.
Transcript Verification Report
A free PDF with a QR code that shows how many of the flagged words were checked against the audio. An examiner can scan it, see whether the transcript stored on verbatim.id has changed since the report was issued, and match the recording file without uploading it. The score measures how complete the review was, not accuracy.
How the score works →Speakers and timestamps
Speakers are separated and labelled automatically. Split a turn at the exact word where the speaker changes, merge turns, rename a speaker everywhere at once, and reset a timestamp from the audio position.
Standard or Presisi
Verbatim Standard is set to Bahasa Indonesia and open to everyone. Verbatim Presisi, available with a paid package, runs two engines that cross-check each other, flags the words they hear differently, and detects the language automatically, which suits recordings that mix Indonesian and English.
Review at typing speed
Playback from 0.5× to 2×, skip 5 seconds back or forward, and shortcuts that work while you type. Search and replace across the transcript. Changes save automatically, on a laptop or in a phone browser.
Projects, sessions, sharing
Group work into projects and sessions; one session can hold several recordings on a single timeline. Share a read-only link, with an optional password, or invite people to a project as Viewer or Editor.
Exports
The PDF transcript and the Verification Report are free. Paid packages add DOCX (a Time / Speaker / Text table that fits a thesis appendix), SRT subtitles, and plain TXT.
