Free Ukrainian Speech-to-Text
Upload your Ukrainian audio or video and get an accurate, editable transcript in minutes — automatic, browser-based and free to start.
Ukrainian is spoken by around 40 million people and is the official language of Ukraine. It is an East Slavic language in its own right — clearly distinct from Russian — and demand for Ukrainian transcription has grown sharply across news, academia and the worldwide diaspora.
ConvertSpeech transcribes it automatically. Upload your audio or video and our speech-recognition engine writes out the spoken Ukrainian 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.

How ConvertSpeech handles spoken Ukrainian
Ukrainian uses its own Cyrillic alphabet with letters that Russian does not have — і, ї, є and ґ — and it lacks the Russian letters ы, ъ and ё. This makes it important to transcribe Ukrainian as Ukrainian rather than mixing it with Russian. ConvertSpeech is tuned for the Ukrainian language and produces natural Ukrainian Cyrillic text, not a Russified approximation.
Standard Ukrainian transcribes reliably across regions, and the engine handles the language on its own terms. As always, the largest factor in accuracy is recording quality — a clear signal with little background noise beats everything else.
Tips for accurate Ukrainian transcription
- Record with a good microphone and minimal background noise for the best accuracy.
- Set the language to Ukrainian — not Russian and not auto-detect — so the correct letters and spelling are used.
- One speaker at a time transcribes best; overlapping speech reduces accuracy.
- For interviews, enable speaker detection (a free registered feature) to label each speaker.
- Keep code-switching to a minimum, as mixing Ukrainian and Russian in one recording can reduce accuracy.
