Free Catalan Speech-to-Text

Catalan is a Romance language in its own right — not a dialect of Spanish — with around 10 million speakers across Catalonia, Valencia (as Valencian), the Balearic Islands, Andorra, where it is the sole official language, and the Roussillon region of southern France. It has a continuous literary tradition stretching back to the medieval works of Ramon Llull and the Valencian classic Tirant lo Blanc.

Catalan is a distinct Romance language with its own vocabulary, grammar and characteristic sounds — including the neutral vowel (schwa) of eastern varieties and word-final consonant clusters — that set it clearly apart from Spanish. ConvertSpeech treats it as its own language rather than a Spanish variant, producing natural Catalan text from clean recordings.

The main varieties, from Central Catalan around Barcelona to Valencian and Balearic, differ mostly in pronunciation and share a common written standard, so most speakers transcribe well. As always, the largest factor in accuracy is recording quality — a clear signal with little background noise beats everything else.
