Transcribe Romanian audio with WhisperAI
WhisperAI transcribes Romanian (Română) audio for the around 25 million speakers who use the language across Romania, Moldova (where it's officially "Moldovan"), and significant diaspora communities in Italy, Spain and Germany. Built on OpenAI Whisper and tuned for the realities of Romanian speech, the service produces publication-grade transcripts in Latin alphabet with diacritics (ă â î ș ț).
How Romanian speakers actually use WhisperAI

- Romanian academic interviewsUniversities transcribe Romanian qualitative research with correct ș/ț preservation.
- Romanian-language journalismIndependent Romanian outlets transcribe interviews for publication.
The ș/ț cedilla problem and Romanian's Romance/Slavic mix
Romanian uses ș and ț with comma-below diacritics that are routinely mishandled — many tools render them as ş and ţ (cedilla, which is technically wrong in Romanian) or strip them entirely. Whisper preserves the correct comma-below forms and handles Romanian's distinctive Romance core mixed with Slavic vocabulary borrowings.
Daco-Romanian (including Banat, Maramureș, Oltenia and Transylvanian), and Moldovan-Romanian are supported with proper comma-below diacritic preservation.
Who actually needs Romanian transcription
Romanian demand comes from Bucharest and Cluj-Napoca IT shared-services (a major European outsourcing hub), Romanian and Moldovan public-sector work, and Romanian-language journalism.
Dialects and varieties handled
