Free Bosnian Speech-to-Text
Upload your Bosnian audio or video and get an accurate, editable transcript in minutes — automatic, browser-based and free to start.
Bosnian is spoken by around 3 million people and is one of the three official languages of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is written in both Latin and Cyrillic, though Latin dominates in practice, and follows the ijekavian pronunciation standard. What most distinguishes Bosnian is its vocabulary: centuries of Ottoman rule left it richer in Turkish and Arabic loanwords than its neighbours.
ConvertSpeech transcribes it automatically. Upload your audio or video and our speech-recognition engine writes out the spoken Bosnian 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.

How ConvertSpeech handles spoken Bosnian
Bosnian carries a distinctive layer of Turkish and Arabic loanwords — everyday words such as komšija (neighbour), sat (hour or clock) and pendžer (window) — a legacy of the Ottoman-Islamic heritage of the region. ConvertSpeech is tuned for standard Bosnian and produces natural text that reflects the ijekavian forms and this borrowed vocabulary.
Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian are closely related, so selecting Bosnian specifically favours its characteristic spelling and lexical choices. As always, the largest factor in accuracy is recording quality — a clear signal with little background noise beats everything else.
Tips for accurate Bosnian transcription
- Record with a good microphone and minimal background noise for the best accuracy.
- Keep the language set to Bosnian rather than auto-detect, so the output uses Bosnian spelling and vocabulary.
- Bosnian is usually written in Latin; the transcript comes back with the correct č, ć, š, ž and đ diacritics.
- One speaker at a time transcribes best; overlapping speech reduces accuracy.
- For interviews, enable speaker detection (a free registered feature) to label each speaker.
