Vietnamese is the most diacritic-dense Latin-script language in widespread use. Six tones combine with vowel quality marks to produce stacked diacritics like ỗ, ắ, and ệ — and every mark changes meaning. The six words ma, mà, má, mả, mã, mạ each mean something different (ghost, but, cheek, tomb, horse, rice seedling). Regional pronunciation adds another layer: Hanoi distinguishes /z/ from /v/ while Saigon merges them, and Southern speakers often merge final consonants that are distinct in the North. Vocova's AI navigates all of this, producing text where every accent mark and every đ vs d distinction is correct.
Drag and drop or select any file containing Vietnamese speech. All major audio and video formats are accepted.
The AI processes your audio, identifies all six tones, and outputs Vietnamese text with complete diacritical marks — including stacked tone and vowel marks on the same character.
Review your Vietnamese transcript, make any corrections, and export in the format you need. Diacritics are preserved across all formats.
Vietnamese diacritics encode both tone and vowel quality, and they stack — ỗ carries both a horn (ơ) and a tilde tone mark. Missing or wrong marks change meaning entirely: bàn (table) vs bán (to sell) vs bạn (friend). The AI places every mark correctly across all six tones.
Hanoi and Saigon Vietnamese have significant phonemic differences. Northern speakers distinguish /z/ from /v/ and /ʂ/ from /s/, while Southern speakers often merge these. Final -n/-ng and -t/-c distinctions also collapse in the South. The AI produces correct spelling regardless of which regional pronunciation is in the recording.
Vietnamese has two d-letters: Đ/đ (pronounced /ɗ/ in the North, /j/ in the South) and D/d (pronounced /z/ in the North, /j/ in the South). Confusing them changes words — đi (to go) vs di (to move/shift). The AI maintains this critical orthographic distinction.
Multiple speakers are automatically detected and labeled, making conversations, interviews, and multi-host podcasts easy to follow even when speakers have different regional accents.
Vietnamese is monosyllabic but forms compound words where spacing can be ambiguous — "bàn tay" (hand) is one concept written as two syllables. The AI follows standard Vietnamese orthographic conventions for compound spacing.

Diacritic accuracy is critical in Vietnamese — ma (ghost), mà (but), má (cheek), mả (tomb), mã (horse), and mạ (rice seedling) are six different words. The AI achieves high accuracy on tone marks and vowel quality marks, including stacked diacritics like ỗ, ắ, and ệ. Accuracy is strongest with clear audio and standard pronunciation.
The AI handles both major dialect groups without requiring you to specify one. Regardless of whether the speaker uses Hanoi pronunciation (distinguishing /z/ and /v/) or Saigon pronunciation (merging them), the output follows standard Vietnamese orthography. The spelling is the same — only pronunciation differs.
Đ/đ and D/d are separate letters in Vietnamese with different pronunciations and meanings. The AI maintains this distinction — producing đi (to go), đường (road, sugar), and đã (already) with the correct stroke-through character, not substituting plain d.
Vietnamese had a spelling reform affecting where tone marks sit on diphthongs — "hoá" (old style, mark on á) vs "hóa" (new style, mark on ó). The AI generally follows the newer convention endorsed by Vietnamese government publications, placing tone marks on the main vowel of diphthongs.
Sino-Vietnamese words (Hán Việt) are Chinese-origin vocabulary that form a large part of formal and academic Vietnamese — words like quốc gia (nation), đại học (university), and kinh tế (economy). The AI transcribes these in standard Vietnamese orthography with correct diacritics, like any other Vietnamese word.
