Transcribe Serbian audio with WhisperAI
WhisperAI transcribes Serbian (Српски / Srpski) audio for the around 8 million speakers who use the language across Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Kosovo, and the Serbian diaspora. Built on OpenAI Whisper and tuned for the realities of Serbian speech, the service produces publication-grade transcripts in Cyrillic and Latin alphabets used in parallel (digraphia).
How Serbian speakers actually use WhisperAI
- Belgrade tech and shared-servicesSerbian outsourcing and SaaS firms transcribe Serbian meetings for documentation.
- Serbian-language broadcastingRTS and independent Serbian outlets transcribe interviews into either Cyrillic or Latin script depending on outlet preference.
- BCS-region academic workUniversities working across Serbia, Bosnia and Croatia transcribe Serbian-variant material with appropriate orthography.
- Serbian diaspora oral historyDiaspora communities in the US, Canada, Germany and Australia document Serbian oral histories.
Cyrillic vs Latin output, and the BCS continuum
Serbian is one of the few languages routinely written in two scripts — Cyrillic (the official script) and Latin — used interchangeably even within the same publication. It also sits on the Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian continuum where the spoken language is largely shared but standardised separately. Whisper produces Serbian output in either script depending on context.
Štokavian Serbian (both Ekavian and Ijekavian variants) is supported, with Cyrillic or Latin output by request.
Who actually needs Serbian transcription
Serbian demand comes from Belgrade tech and shared-services, Serbian-language broadcasting, and BCS-region linguistic and cultural work.
Dialects and varieties handled
