Transcribe Turkmen audio with WhisperAI
WhisperAI transcribes Turkmen (Türkmen dili) audio for the around 7 million speakers who use the language across Turkmenistan and parts of Iran, Afghanistan and Uzbekistan. Built on OpenAI Whisper and tuned for the realities of Turkmen speech, the service produces publication-grade transcripts in Latin alphabet (with ä, ö, ü, ý, ž, ş, ç, ň).
Turkmen Turkic morphology and Latin script transition
Turkmen switched from Cyrillic to Latin in the 1990s with its own diacritic set. ASR trained on Turkish handles Turkmen badly because of vocabulary and morphology differences. Whisper handles Turkmen as its own Turkic language.
Standard Turkmen and the major regional dialects are supported in Latin script.
What Turkmen transcripts include
Native Latin alphabet (with ä, ö, ü, ý, ž, ş, ç, ň)
Output in Latin alphabet (with ä, ö, ü, ý, ž, ş, ç, ň) with all diacritics, tone marks, special characters and script-specific conventions preserved — never transliteration.
Speaker labels

Timestamps and SRT
Word-level timestamps and SRT subtitle export for Turkmen video captioning, with proper line-breaking for the script.
Editor and exports
In-browser editor with PDF, DOCX, TXT and SRT exports. Edit the transcript without leaving the browser, then download the format your downstream workflow expects.
