Free Azerbaijani Speech-to-Text

Azerbaijani (Azeri) is a Turkic language spoken by more than 23 million people. It is the official language of Azerbaijan — a Caspian oil and gas producer — and is also widely spoken in the north-west of Iran. It is closely related to Turkish, and speakers of the two languages can often understand each other with little difficulty.

ConvertSpeech transcribes it automatically. Upload your audio or video and our speech-recognition engine writes out the spoken Azerbaijani with punctuation, ready to copy into a document, subtitle file or translation tool. It runs in your browser, needs no installation, and your first minutes are free with no account required.

In Azerbaijan, Azerbaijani is written with a Latin-based alphabet — extended with letters such as ə, ö, ü, ğ, ç and ş — so ConvertSpeech produces ready-to-use Latin text from clean recordings. Like other Turkic languages it is agglutinative and follows vowel harmony, stacking suffixes to build long words.

Azerbaijani is close enough to Turkish that the two are largely mutually intelligible, though it keeps its own vocabulary and sounds. Standard Azerbaijani transcribes best, and as always the largest factor in accuracy is recording quality — a clear signal with little background noise beats everything else.
