Urdu language is a member of the Indo-Aryan group within the Indo-European family of languages. It is the national language and lingua franca of Pakistan, where it is also an official language alongside English. Urdu is spoken as a first language by nearly 70 million people. It was heavily influenced by Arabic and Persian as well as Turkish. Urdu shares its origins with Hindi, but the written portions of the languages are quite different from one another, which have largely contributed to their status as separate languages rather than dialects. Additionally, throughout the history of the language, Urdu has been referred to by several other names: Hindi, Hindavi, Rekhta, Urdu-e-Muallah, Dakhini, Moors, and Dehlavi.
Text transcription is the process of converting speech or audio recordings into written text. There are various services available for text transcription, including paid services from Rev and Temi, and free options such as Google Docs' voice typing feature. Some transcription services, such as Transkriptor and VEED.IO, offer automated transcription. The process involves uploading an audio or video file, which is then transcribed into text. The resulting transcript typically includes each speaker's words individually separated, allowing for easier analysis and understanding of the content.
