Croatian audio to text

Yes. Our Croatian test transcript used č, ć, đ, š and ž throughout, in words such as “noći”, “između” and “određenim”, and kept ijekavian forms like “lijek” and “svjesni”. Once it stretched je into ije: “cijepivo” for “cjepivo”.

It punctuated every sentence, but „…“ quotation marks never appeared, so add them where you quote someone.

Occasionally. Croatian, Serbian and Bosnian share most of their words, and in our test three came back in a non-Croatian form: “uticati” for “utjecati”, “svako” for “svatko” and “tsunami” for “cunami”. Search for those pairs before publishing.

Fixing the page to Croatian keeps the rest of the transcript in Croatian spelling; when the language has to be guessed, a short piece is easy to label as a neighbour. For a recording that switches language for long stretches, use the main audio to text converter.

Consonant clusters and short words. In our test “zlostavljanje” lost its l twice (“zostavljanje”), “strpljenje” became “stopljenje”, and “nije” became “dije”, so read sentences where a negation matters.

The page treats everything as Croatian and our tests used the standard, read aloud. Kajkavian around Zagreb and Chakavian on the coast and islands use different words and forms, so try a short clip of your speakers first.

NoteOwl understands Croatian among the languages it transcribes on your Mac. It transcribes Croatian recordings and meetings with unlimited transcription, labels each speaker and keeps every conversation searchable, with nothing uploaded; its dictation is free.
