Transcribe Bulgarian audio with WhisperAI
WhisperAI transcribes Bulgarian (Български) audio for the around 8 million speakers who use the language across Bulgaria, with smaller communities in Turkey, Greece, Serbia and the diaspora. Built on OpenAI Whisper and tuned for the realities of Bulgarian speech, the service produces publication-grade transcripts in Cyrillic alphabet (Bulgarian variant).
Who actually needs Bulgarian transcription
Bulgarian demand comes from Sofia tech and BPO sectors, Bulgarian academic work, and Bulgarian-language journalism.
Dialects and varieties handled
- Standard Bulgarian (Sofia, based on Eastern Bulgarian)
- Western Bulgarian
- Eastern Bulgarian
- Rhodope dialects
Bulgarian's Cyrillic and the lost cases
Bulgarian is the only Slavic language to have lost grammatical case (replaced by definite-article suffixes) and uses Cyrillic similar but not identical to Russian. Whisper handles Bulgarian as a separate language with proper Bulgarian Cyrillic conventions and the post-positive definite articles that are unique among Slavic languages.
Standard Bulgarian (Sofia), Western and Eastern dialects are supported with native Cyrillic.
