Does it handle Bahasa Indonesia and Bahasa Malaysia?

Both are supported (they share much vocabulary and grammar but have differences). Auto-detection identifies which from the audio.

Will it transcribe regional languages like Javanese or Sundanese?

These are separate languages from Indonesian, with their own Whisper support. Same converter — language is auto-detected.

Can I translate Indonesian content to English?

Two-step: Indonesian Markdown via Video to Markdown, then Translate Markdown for English.

How does it handle Indonesian-English code-switching?

Common in tech content. English vocabulary in Latin script (which is the same script Indonesian uses) — clean mixed output.

Will it work for Malay (Malaysia) content?

Yes — Malay (Bahasa Melayu) is closely related to Indonesian and supported. Auto-detection identifies the variety.

Indonesian Video to Markdown — Transcribe Indonesian Videos

Standard Indonesian

Bahasa Indonesia (the formal lingua franca) transcribes accurately — it's a relatively phonetic language with consistent spelling rules. Regional languages (Javanese, Sundanese, Balinese) are separate languages with their own Whisper support, not Indonesian.

Use cases

Indonesian YouTube and podcast content (a huge and rapidly-growing market), Jakarta tech-startup content, university lectures from UI/ITB/UGM, news content. Indonesian is also widely understood across Malaysia and Brunei due to language closeness to Malay.
