Africa is an incredibly linguistically diverse continent, accounting for as many as 2,000 of the world’s languages—and a significant portion of African languages come from the Bantu subfamily of the expansive Niger–Congo language family. Bantu languages are spread all across central and southern Africa, with as many as 600 separate languages making up the Bantu branch. One of these languages is Tsonga, a prominent language from the south of the continent. And if you’re looking for Tsonga transcription services, let our experts at TranscriptionServices.com help you.

Trust Us for the Best Tsonga Transcription Services on the Internet

​

​Tsonga has roughly 3.7 million native speakers across areas of South Africa, Mozambique, Eswatini, and Zimbabwe, with another 3.4 million or so second-language speakers residing in South Africa. Zooming in a bit closer, the language is concentrated in the eastern part of South Africa, with a presence in the states of Gauteng, Limpopo, and Mpumalanga. In Mozambique, Tsonga speakers are found in Maputo City, Maputo Province, and Gaza Province, and in Zimbabwe, they’re concentrated in the Chiredzi and Mwenenzi districts. Tsonga is closely related to the Tswa and Ronga languages, and sometimes the term “Tsonga” covers all three.

​

Tsonga is characterized by the same typical features as any Bantu language, most notably the extensive noun class system that divides nouns into somewhat arbitrary categories, each with its own agreement prefix or morpheme. These agreement morphemes must be attached to not only the noun itself but also any adjectives, demonstratives, or verbs that refer to the noun. While the Tsonga noun class system can be tricky for learners, it’s second nature for native speakers—and our Tsonga transcription team consists of trained, native-speaking experts who can deliver high-quality transcripts in Tsonga—or translated into English if you prefer!

Transcription Technology Helps Us Serve You Better

​

​As professional transcriptionists, we’ve been following the development of automated transcription technology with excitement. While impressive, these algorithms simply can’t compete with human transcriptionists in terms of accuracy, but where they do excel is in speed—and that’s why they can be such a powerful tool for our team. With speech-to-text software, we can instantly generate a base transcript that our human transcriptionists work with to shape into the reliable, high-quality transcript you expect from us.

​

Speech-recognition software for Tsonga isn’t as reliable as similar technology for bigger languages like French, Portuguese, or even Swahili. That’s another reason why we rely so heavily on our human Tsonga transcriptionists. All transcripts we deliver have been carefully approved for quality by our expert human team members. We can, of course, provide Tsonga transcripts entirely crafted by humans from scratch, too, if you prefer.

Say your Tsonga audio or video recording has poor-quality sound or a noisy background that obscures the speech. Say there are multiple people in the clip, sometimes speaking over one another. Say they slur or mumble their words sometimes and frequently use slang terms or colloquialisms. Say they’re speaking in a nonstandard dialect of Tsonga. These would be significant challenges for amateur transcriptionists, but our Tsonga transcriptionists are experienced and can handle the difficulties these circumstances present. We’d love to work with you, whether you’re located in Johannesburg, Maputo, Polokwane, Mbombela, Xai-Xai, Matola, another city in southern Africa, or anywhere else in the world.
