The multilingual speech layer
Existing transcription tools assume everyone speaks one language. Dialext captures Irish-English conversations as they happen, then turns them into one shared record with clear decisions, actions and owners.
People should speak naturally. Technology should adapt to the conversation.

Why this is different
Starting with Irish and English. Built for every multilingual community where conversations move naturally between languages.
One meeting recording with natural code-switching.
Detects Irish words, phrases and context.
Captures English turns and timing evidence.
Aligns both paths into one shared timeline with traceable meaning.
Decisions, actions and owners in a single document people can use together.

Product proof · illustrative example
Instead of asking two sets of notes to agree, the meeting gets one structured record with corresponding meaning in both languages.
Niamh Má sheolaim an gearrliosta Déardaoin, can we sign off the brief by Friday?
Martin Yes. Seol chugam é and I will confirm the final version.
Niamh Cé a dhéanfaidh athbhreithniú ar na nótaí agallaimh?
A raw transcript preserves words, but the commitment, owner and unanswered question remain buried in the exchange.

The gap after the call
Important commitments sit inside pages of conversation, filler and repeated discussion.
Two people can leave the same call with different versions of what was agreed.
Informal translation often turns one side of the conversation into an abbreviated afterthought.
A repeatable service ritual
Each pilot is agreed directly. Dialext is a documentation service, not a self-serve upload portal.
Confirm the meeting is suitable, document the recording notice and agree the data-handling terms.
Use the transfer method agreed for the pilot. Do not attach recordings to the enquiry form.
A named Dialext reviewer signs off the draft minutes before any delivery.
Get side-by-side minutes as an editable Word file and a shareable PDF, then use the source timestamps to act.
Recordings are retained only as needed to process, review, deliver, and meet the agreed retention policy. Managed source audio is deleted only after a recorded delivery outcome.
Built for bilingual reality
Dialext begins from the way bilingual speakers already communicate, then creates a record that monolingual and bilingual readers can use together.
A speaker can move between languages mid-sentence without either language being treated as noise.
Participant names, specialist vocabulary and expressions need attention beyond generic transcription.
Both language versions are reviewed against the same meeting outcome, not prepared as separate summaries.
Timestamps connect a decision or question back to the relevant point in the recording.
Our story
Dialext began with two Irish friends, Joshua Corbett and Johnathan McPhilbin.
We naturally moved between Irish and English, sometimes between sentences and sometimes within the same thought. To us, this was not unusual or confusing. It was simply how we spoke.
Most technology assumes a conversation will remain in one language at a time. We wanted to build something different: technology that treats bilingual conversation as normal and gives both languages equal weight.
Meeting documentation became our starting point because losing part of a meeting can mean losing a decision, an action or a responsibility. Our work began with Irish and English. The same principle can serve bilingual conversations in many more places as new language pairs are tested to the required standard.
Where clarity matters
Useful where a conversation crosses languages and the resulting record must cross roles, teams or borders.
Keep candidate, client and role discussions aligned without relying on two sets of notes.
Give clients and internal teams a common version of commitments and follow-up.
Create a record that advisers and colleagues can review in the language they use best.
Carry context across locations while keeping the source conversation traceable.
A considered process
The processor configuration is not yet marked pilot-ready. Customer audio should not be accepted until provider, region, retention, training-use and contract evidence is complete.
The client identity, lawful basis, participant notice, DPA and permitted meeting scope are documented before transcription.
The intake path and delivery recipient are confirmed for the pilot. This website does not accept recording uploads.
Provider settings, regions and retention terms must match the verified processor record. Source audio is retained through processing. Minutes generation receives transcript text, not customer audio.
A named reviewer must approve the rendered minutes before delivery. Delivery is blocked if the result changes after approval.
The pipeline delivers Word, PDF and confidence evidence by configured SMTP email after approval. Recordings are retained only as needed to process, review, deliver, and meet the agreed retention policy. Managed source audio is deleted only after a recorded delivery outcome, and that deletion is evidenced.
Request a pilot
We are beginning with a small number of Irish-English pilot meetings before extending the service across additional language pairs.
Included A fit and data-handling check before audio is accepted
Output Side-by-side Word and PDF meeting minutes
Standard A pilot review of decisions, assignments, deadlines, open questions, names and timestamps
Do not send a recording through this form. If the meeting is suitable, a transfer method and recording notice will be agreed first.
Useful answers
Transcription is one input, not the final product. Dialext creates a structured bilingual record of the meeting, with a summary, explicit outcomes, follow-up and relevant source timestamps.
Irish and English are the current pilot focus. The quality standard is still being validated, so Dialext does not yet publish a wider supported-language list.
The pipeline produces editable Word minutes, a shareable PDF and confidence evidence. A public downloadable example is not yet available, so the example on this page is clearly marked as illustrative.
No. The enquiry form collects only enough information to discuss fit. A transfer route, recording notice, recipient and data-processing terms must be agreed before audio is accepted.
The standard covers separation of decisions from general discussion, assigned actions, stated deadlines, unresolved questions, names and specialist terms, corresponding meaning in both languages, timestamps and review before delivery.
