Transcribe Belarusian audio with WhisperAI
WhisperAI transcribes Belarusian (Беларуская) audio for the around 5 million active speakers who use the language across Belarus, with diaspora communities in Poland, Lithuania, the US and Canada. Built on OpenAI Whisper and tuned for the realities of Belarusian speech, the service produces publication-grade transcripts in Cyrillic (with Łacinka Latin script also used in some contexts).
Belarusian as a separate language from Russian
Belarusian has its own Cyrillic alphabet (with letters Russian doesn't use, like і and ў) and significant grammatical differences from Russian. ASR trained primarily on Russian often outputs Belarusian as broken Russian. Whisper transcribes Belarusian as a distinct language with proper Belarusian Cyrillic.
Standard Belarusian (both Narkamaŭka and Tarashkevitsa orthographies) is supported.
What Belarusian transcripts include
Native Cyrillic (with Łacinka Latin script also used in some contexts)
Output in Cyrillic (with Łacinka Latin script also used in some contexts) with all diacritics, tone marks, special characters and script-specific conventions preserved — never transliteration.
Speaker labels
Diarisation that separates and labels speakers in Belarusian interviews, panels and multi-party meetings.
Timestamps and SRT
Word-level timestamps and SRT subtitle export for Belarusian video captioning, with proper line-breaking for the script.
Editor and exports
In-browser editor with PDF, DOCX, TXT and SRT exports. Edit the transcript without leaving the browser, then download the format your downstream workflow expects.
