How to transcribe Marathi with Vibe

Install Vibe from the download page.
Download a multilingual Whisper model sized for your computer—often Large is a good anchor.
Set language to mr for more consistent results than auto-detect.
Import your file (or use supported URL flows if you use them).
Export to SRT, TXT, DOCX, or another format you need.

Accuracy notes

Marathi uses Devanagari script like Hindi and outputs correctly in Vibe. The Large model is recommended as smaller models may confuse Marathi with Hindi in auto-detect mode. Always specify language as 'mr' explicitly. Works best with clear, studio-quality audio from standard Pune or Mumbai Marathi speakers.

Large model: approximately 12–16% WER on clear Marathi speech.

Common use cases

Transcribe Marathi news, lectures, political speeches, and entertainment content.
