Transcribe Czech audio with WhisperAI
WhisperAI transcribes Czech (Čeština) audio for the around 11 million speakers who use the language across the Czech Republic. Built on OpenAI Whisper and tuned for the realities of Czech speech, the service produces publication-grade transcripts in Latin alphabet with diacritics (á č ď é ě í ň ó ř š ť ú ů ý ž).
The famous ř, and Standard vs Common Czech
Czech is one of the few languages with the ř sound (a fricative trill) that almost no non-Czech speakers can produce — and that almost no non-Czech ASR can reliably transcribe. Whisper handles ř and the rest of Czech's diacritic-heavy orthography, and respects the gap between formal Standard Czech (spisovná čeština) and the much more common Obecná čeština used in everyday speech.
Standard Czech, Common Czech (Obecná čeština), Moravian and Silesian Czech are supported.
What Czech transcripts include

Output in Latin alphabet with diacritics (á č ď é ě í ň ó ř š ť ú ů ý ž) with all diacritics, tone marks, special characters and script-specific conventions preserved — never transliteration.
Speaker labels
Diarisation that separates and labels speakers in Czech interviews, panels and multi-party meetings.
Timestamps and SRT
Word-level timestamps and SRT subtitle export for Czech video captioning, with proper line-breaking for the script.
