Transcribe Polish audio with WhisperAI
WhisperAI transcribes Polish (Polski) audio for the around 45 million native speakers who use the language across Poland, with significant communities in the UK, Germany, the US, Ireland and Canada. Built on OpenAI Whisper and tuned for the realities of Polish speech, the service produces publication-grade transcripts in Latin alphabet with Polish-specific letters (ą ć ę ł ń ó ś ź ż).
Who actually needs Polish transcription
Polish demand comes from Warsaw and Kraków business-services and SaaS firms, Polish public-sector and academic work, and Polish-language journalism that has grown significantly since the 2015 political shifts.
Dialects and varieties handled
- Standard Polish (Warsaw)
- Silesian-influenced
- Greater Polish
- Lesser Polish
- Mazovian
- Kashubian-influenced
Polish consonant clusters and the diacritic problem
Polish is famous for consonant clusters ("szcz", "prz", "trz") that defeat phoneme-level ASR, and for nine diacritic letters that cheap transcription tools quietly strip. Whisper preserves all Polish diacritics correctly and segments the consonant clusters into the right words — which is the difference between a publishable transcript and a phonetic mess.
Standard Polish and the major regional accents (Silesian, Greater Polish, Mazovian, Lesser Polish) are all supported, with full diacritic preservation.
