Free Italian Speech-to-Text
Upload your Italian audio or video and get an accurate, editable transcript in minutes — automatic, browser-based and free to start.
Italian is spoken by around 65 million people as a native language. It is the official language of Italy, San Marino and Vatican City, one of the four national languages of Switzerland, and is still used by Italian communities in Croatia, Slovenia and across the world. That reach makes recorded Italian — interviews, lectures, meetings, family archives — something a lot of people need turned into text.
ConvertSpeech does that for you automatically. Instead of pausing a recording every few seconds to type, you upload the file and our speech-recognition engine writes out the spoken Italian, punctuation included. The result is clean, searchable text you can paste into a document, subtitle file or translation tool. There is nothing to install, it runs entirely in your browser, and your first minutes are free with no account required.

Italian accents and regional speech we handle
Standard Italian is based on the Tuscan (Florentine) variety, and that is what most broadcast and professional recordings use. ConvertSpeech is tuned for standard Italian and handles it reliably across speakers and speaking speeds.
Italy is also famous for its strong regional accents and dialects — from Romanesco in Rome to Neapolitan, Sicilian, Venetian and Lombard influences in the north. Clear speech in standard Italian with a regional accent transcribes well; heavy dialect that departs from standard Italian is harder for any automatic system, so for the best results with strongly regional recordings, favour clean audio and speakers using standard Italian pronunciation.
Tips for accurate Italian transcription
- Use the clearest recording you have — a good microphone and little background noise matter more than anything else.
- One speaker at a time transcribes best; heavy crosstalk lowers accuracy in any language.
- If your audio is mostly standard Italian, keep the language set to Italian rather than auto-detect for the most reliable result.
- For interviews with several people, enable speaker detection (free registered feature) to label who said what.
