See It In Action
Here is a short line from a Turkish meeting as the transcript shows it, with its English translation.
"Merhaba, bugün toplantıya katıldığınız için teşekkürler. Önümüzdeki adımları planlayalım."
"Merhaba, bugün toplantıya katıldığınız için teşekkürler. Önümüzdeki adımları planlayalım."
Translation: "Hello, thank you for joining the meeting today. Let's plan the next steps."
Accurate on clear Turkish speech
On a clear recording of standard Turkish, accuracy reaches up to 99%, and 95–99% is the realistic range. The language is detected automatically, so you do not pick Turkish from a menu. Background music, people talking over each other, distant microphones and strong accents lower accuracy. Every segment has a timestamp, so you can jump to any line and check it by ear.
Try Free NowOne model for Turkish from every region
A lecture in Ankara, a family interview in Rize and a podcast from İzmir all go through the same model. It is strongest on standard Turkish; regional accents, Cypriot Turkish and dialect words transcribe less reliably and may be normalised to standard spelling. When someone switches to English mid-sentence, short phrases usually come through, but long English passages may be transcribed poorly because the language is detected once per recording.
Try Free NowTranslate Turkish transcripts into 60+ languages
On the paid plans, a finished Turkish transcript can be translated into English, German, Arabic or more than 60 other languages. It helps when sharing a Turkish interview with colleagues abroad or studying a Turkish series line by line. The translation is automatic, so read idioms and formal expressions with care before you publish them.
Try Free NowTurkish as it is spoken across Turkey and Cyprus
There are no separate dialect models. One model handles all Turkish, and it does best with the standard Istanbul-based speech heard on television and in the classroom. The stronger the regional accent, the more corrections you should expect.
Istanbul Turkish
Standard Turkish
The standard language of news, schools and most podcasts. Clear recordings in standard Turkish get the best results, up to 99% accuracy.
Black Sea Turkish
Trabzon, Rize, Giresun
Mild Black Sea accents usually transcribe well. Heavy local speech with shortened vowels and regional words can come out misspelled or normalised toward standard forms.
Aegean Turkish
İzmir, Aydın, Muğla
Aegean speech sits close to the standard, so most recordings transcribe cleanly. Drawn-out vowels and local expressions may need a quick edit.
Central Anatolian
Ankara, Konya, Kayseri
Everyday Central Anatolian speech usually comes through well. Strong rural accents and dialect words transcribe less reliably than city speech.
Southeastern Turkish
Gaziantep, Urfa, Diyarbakır
Turkish spoken with a southeastern accent is recognised, but accuracy drops with strong accents. Kurdish or Arabic passages in the same recording are not transcribed reliably.
Cypriot Turkish
Northern Cyprus
Cypriot Turkish differs in sounds, words and verb endings, and the output leans toward standard spelling. Expect more corrections than with mainland recordings.

What Turkish transcripts look like
Up to 99% on clear audio
Clean recordings of standard Turkish land in the 95–99% range. Noise, overlapping voices and heavy accents bring it down.
Proper Turkish letters
Ç, ğ, ı, İ, ö, ş and ü appear as they should, and dotted and dotless i stay distinct in every export.
Long words kept whole
Suffix chains like 'yapabileceklerimiz' are written as one word, as Turkish spelling requires, not split into pieces.
Who said what
Speakers in a Turkish meeting or interview are labelled Speaker 1, Speaker 2 and so on, on every plan, so every line shows who is speaking. On the paid plans you can rename them.
Punctuated, readable text
The transcript comes with sentences and punctuation, split into timestamped segments, so it reads like text rather than a stream of words.
