Transcribe Azerbaijani audio with WhisperAI
WhisperAI transcribes Azerbaijani (Azərbaycan dili) audio for the around 30 million speakers, including roughly 10 million in Azerbaijan and 15+ million in northwestern Iran who use the language across Azerbaijan and the Iranian provinces of East and West Azerbaijan, Ardabil and Zanjan. Built on OpenAI Whisper and tuned for the realities of Azerbaijani speech, the service produces publication-grade transcripts in Latin alphabet in Azerbaijan (with ə, ı, ö, ş, ü, ç, ğ); Persian-Arabic script in Iran.
Two scripts for one language
Azerbaijani in the Republic switched from Cyrillic to Latin in 1991, while Iranian Azerbaijani is still written in a modified Persian-Arabic script. The same spoken language gets transcribed two completely different ways depending on context. Whisper supports both, with the Republic-standard Latin form as the default.
North Azerbaijani (Latin script) and South Azerbaijani (Persian-Arabic script) are both supported.
