Transcribe Greek audio with WhisperAI
WhisperAI transcribes Greek (Ελληνικά) audio for the around 13 million speakers who use the language across Greece, Cyprus, and the global Greek diaspora. Built on OpenAI Whisper and tuned for the realities of Greek speech, the service produces publication-grade transcripts in Greek alphabet.
Who actually needs Greek transcription
Greek demand comes from Athens-based business and media, Cypriot institutional work, and Greek-studies academic research.
Dialects and varieties handled
- Standard Modern Greek (Athens)
- Cypriot Greek
- Cretan
- Pontic
- Northern Greek
Modern Greek vs Cypriot, and the polytonic question
Modern Greek is normally written in monotonic orthography (one accent mark only); Cypriot Greek is its own variety with notable phonetic differences. Whisper produces native Greek-script output in monotonic orthography and handles both Standard and Cypriot speech.
Standard Modern Greek, Cypriot Greek, Cretan, Pontic and Northern Greek are supported with native Greek script.
