Free Romanian Speech-to-Text
Upload your Romanian audio or video and get an accurate, editable transcript in minutes — automatic, browser-based and free to start.
Romanian is spoken by around 24 to 25 million native speakers and is official in Romania, an EU member state, and in the Republic of Moldova. It is a Romance language — related to Italian, Spanish and French — and is written in the Latin alphabet, so Romanian 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 Romanian in the Latin script with the correct special characters and 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 Romanian
Romanian is a Latin island in a Slavic sea: it kept its Romance grammar and core vocabulary while centuries of contact added Slavic, Hungarian, Turkish and Greek loanwords. That mix gives spoken Romanian a distinctive sound among Romance languages, and ConvertSpeech is tuned for standard Romanian so clean recordings become natural text.
Accuracy also depends on the special letters that Romanian layers onto the Latin alphabet: ă and â/î for its central vowels, and the comma-below letters ș and ț. The engine restores these from the audio. As always, the largest factor in accuracy is recording quality — a clear signal with little background noise beats everything else.
Tips for accurate Romanian transcription
- Record with a good microphone and minimal background noise for the best accuracy.
- Keep the language set to Romanian rather than auto-detect when you know the recording is Romanian.
- One speaker at a time transcribes best; overlapping speech reduces accuracy.
- Clear audio helps the engine place special letters such as ă, â, î, ș and ț correctly.
- For interviews, enable speaker detection (a free registered feature) to label each speaker.
