Does it handle regional Italian (romanesco, napoletano, etc.)?

Recognised at the regional-accent level (italiano with a regional accent). Pure dialect (Neapolitan or Sicilian as distinct languages) has lower accuracy — Whisper is trained on standard Italian primarily.

Are Italian accents preserved?

Yes — è, é, à, ì, ò, ù all preserved correctly in the Markdown output.

Can I translate Italian content to English?

Two-step: convert to Italian Markdown via Video to Markdown, then Translate Markdown.

How does it handle Italian-English code-switching?

For English insertions in Italian speech (common in Italian tech and business content), the English appears in Latin script and Italian in Italian — clean mixed output.

Will it transcribe opera or sung Italian?

No — we transcribe spoken speech, not sung text. For opera lyrics, the source librettos are typically published separately.

Standard vs regional Italian

Standard Italian (italiano standard) — based on Tuscan and used in news, formal contexts, and education — transcribes most accurately. Regional varieties (lombardo, romanesco, napoletano) are recognised but very strong regional accents may have higher error rates. Pure Sicilian or Neapolitan dialect (separate from standard Italian) is harder.

Use cases

Italian podcasts (massive market in Italy), Italian YouTube content (cooking, design, fashion, tech), university lectures from Italian institutions, news and political content. Output Markdown is SEO-ready for Italian-language sites.
