Free Bulgarian Speech-to-Text

Bulgarian is spoken by around 8 million people and is the official language of Bulgaria, as well as an official language of the European Union. It belongs to the South Slavic group and was the first Slavic language to be written down, so Bulgarian recordings span news, business, academia and creators alike.

ConvertSpeech transcribes them automatically. Upload your audio or video and our speech-recognition engine writes out the spoken Bulgarian in Cyrillic 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.

Bulgaria is the home of the Cyrillic alphabet, which was developed in the Bulgarian Empire in the 9th–10th centuries and later spread to Russian, Serbian, Ukrainian and many other languages. ConvertSpeech produces natural Bulgarian text in Cyrillic with correct spelling and punctuation from clean recordings.

Grammatically Bulgarian is unusual among Slavic languages: it has almost entirely lost the noun case system that Russian and Polish keep, and instead marks the definite article as a suffix attached to the end of the word rather than as a separate word. ConvertSpeech is tuned for these features, and as always a clear signal with little background noise beats everything else.
