Transcribe Mongolian audio with WhisperAI
WhisperAI transcribes Mongolian (Монгол хэл) audio for the around 6 million speakers who use the language across Mongolia and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China. Built on OpenAI Whisper and tuned for the realities of Mongolian speech, the service produces publication-grade transcripts in Cyrillic in Mongolia; Traditional Mongolian script (vertical) in Inner Mongolia, with planned reintroduction in Mongolia.
Two scripts and Khalkha vs Inner Mongolian dialect divergence
Mongolian in the Republic of Mongolia uses Cyrillic; in Inner Mongolia the Traditional Mongolian vertical script remains in use, and Mongolia has announced plans to reintroduce it as a co-official script. The two written forms represent significantly different dialects. Whisper handles Khalkha Cyrillic by default.
Khalkha Mongolian (standard) and major regional varieties are supported in Cyrillic.
