Transcribe Assamese audio with WhisperAI

Built on OpenAI Whisper and tuned for the realities of Assamese speech, the service produces publication-grade transcripts in Assamese script (a variant of Eastern Nagari, closely related to Bengali script with distinct ৰ and ৱ).

Assamese script vs Bengali — and why generic ASR conflates them
Assamese uses an Eastern Nagari script that's almost identical to Bengali but with distinct letters (ৰ for r, ৱ for w). Generic ASR routinely outputs Assamese as Bengali. Whisper handles Assamese as a separate language with its own script.
Standard Eastern Assamese, Western Assamese and Kamrupi are supported.
Who actually needs Assamese transcription
Assamese demand comes from Assamese-language media in Guwahati, the Assam state government, and Assamese-studies academic work.
Dialects and varieties handled
- Standard Assamese (Eastern Assamese)
