Transcribe Turkish audio and video to text

Upload any Turkish recording and get accurate transcription that correctly handles agglutinative word formation, vowel harmony across long suffix chains, and the critical dotted İ/i vs undotted I/ı distinction that other tools get wrong.

AI transcription engineered for Turkish morphology

Turkish is an agglutinative language where suffixes stack to create words that carry the meaning of entire sentences: Avrupalılaştıramadıklarımızdan means "from those whom we could not make European." Every suffix must obey vowel harmony, with 8 vowels organized into 4 front/back pairs (a-e, ı-i, o-ö, u-ü) that govern which variant of each suffix appears. The dotted/undotted I distinction (İ/i vs I/ı) is unique to Turkish and notoriously mishandled by generic tools. Consonant mutations change word-final stops at morpheme boundaries: kitap (book) becomes kitabı (his book). Vocova's AI navigates all of these patterns to produce correctly spelled Turkish text.

Features

Agglutinative word recognition

Turkish builds words by stacking suffixes: ev (house) → evler (houses) → evlerimiz (our houses) → evlerimizdeki (the one in our houses). Our AI correctly segments and transcribes these chains, even for novel combinations the model has never seen in training, by understanding Turkish morphological rules.

Vowel harmony compliance

Every Turkish suffix has variants governed by vowel harmony: the plural is -ler after front vowels (evler) but -lar after back vowels (odalar). With 8 vowels in 4 pairs, this creates complex suffix selection patterns. Our AI enforces these rules to produce orthographically correct output.

Dotted and undotted I distinction

Turkish has four I-like letters: İ/i (dotted) and I/ı (undotted). Confusing them changes meaning — sıkı (tight) vs siki (vulgar), kır (countryside) vs kir (dirt). This "Turkish I problem" breaks many tools. Our AI maintains the distinction in both lowercase and uppercase.

Consonant mutation accuracy

Turkish voiceless stops mutate to voiced when followed by vowel-initial suffixes: kitap → kitabı (book → his book), renk → rengi (color → its color), amaç → amacı (goal → its goal). Our AI applies these morphophonological rules consistently.
