Transcribe Luxembourgish audio with WhisperAI
WhisperAI transcribes Luxembourgish (Lëtzebuergesch) audio for the around 400,000 speakers who use the language across Luxembourg and adjacent areas of Belgium, France and Germany. Built on OpenAI Whisper and tuned for the realities of Luxembourgish speech, the service produces publication-grade transcripts in Latin alphabet with German-style diacritics plus é and ë.
Luxembourgish as a Germanic language with French infusion
Luxembourgish is a West Germanic language structurally close to Moselle Franconian, but with extensive French vocabulary borrowing in administrative and everyday contexts. ASR trained on Standard German handles it badly. Whisper handles Luxembourgish as a separate language with both its German morphology and French borrowings preserved.
Standard Luxembourgish, Éislek and Minett dialects are supported.
