Transcribe Slovak audio with WhisperAI
WhisperAI transcribes Slovak (Slovenčina) audio for the around 5 million speakers who use the language across Slovakia, with communities in Hungary, the Czech Republic and Serbia (Vojvodina). Built on OpenAI Whisper and tuned for the realities of Slovak speech, the service produces publication-grade transcripts in Latin alphabet with Slovak-specific diacritics (á ä č ď é í ľ ĺ ň ó ô ŕ š ť ú ý ž).
Who actually needs Slovak transcription
Slovak demand comes from Bratislava and Košice tech and automotive sectors (Slovakia is Europe's largest per-capita car producer), and Slovak academic and cultural work.
Dialects and varieties handled
- Standard Slovak (Central, based on Liptov)
- Western dialects (Bratislava-influenced)
- Eastern dialects (Spiš, Šariš)
Slovak ľ, ŕ and the ä that isn't German
Slovak has its own set of diacritic letters (ľ, ĺ, ŕ, ô) that are distinct from Czech, plus ä — which in Slovak is a separate vowel, not the German umlaut. ASR trained on Czech often mishandles Slovak text. Whisper produces native Slovak with the full diacritic set preserved.
Standard Slovak, Western and Eastern dialects are supported with full diacritic handling.
