Transcribe Serbian nowHow well Serbian works on Sprechverlauf
Serbian works in the free trial: three transcriptions of up to 10 minutes per calendar month, no account, as text with timestamps. It runs on Whisper Large v3 Turbo, a model trained on roughly 100 languages.
Speaker separation is not available for Serbian yet: the model with speaker detection (MAI-Transcribe-2) does not support the language. Paid plans therefore give you plain text with timestamps — but for files of up to 4 hours instead of 10 minutes.
What matters for Serbian
Serbian is close to Croatian, Bosnian, and Macedonian. On short clips, automatic detection can mix them up — select Serbian explicitly before you start.
Tips for better Serbian transcripts
- In step two, pick "Serbian" instead of automatic detection if the recording is short or starts with music.
- Record close to the microphone; a clip-on mic beats a built-in laptop mic by a wide margin.
- Overlapping speech hurts every recognizer. Short pauses between speakers help more than any editing afterwards.
- Check names, numbers and technical terms: click a timestamp to hear that exact passage.
Frequently asked questions
Can I transcribe Serbian for free?+
Yes. The free trial transcribes Serbian without an account: three files of up to 10 minutes per calendar month, as text with timestamps. Longer files and speaker separation start at €2.99, no subscription.
Does Sprechverlauf separate speakers in Serbian?+
Not yet. Speaker separation runs on MAI-Transcribe-2, which does not support Serbian. You get plain text with timestamps.
Do I have to select Serbian before starting?+
No, the language is detected automatically. Selecting it helps with very short recordings and because Serbian is easily confused with Croatian, Bosnian, and Macedonian.
Which files can I upload?+
MP3, WAV, M4A, OGG/Opus, FLAC, WebM, AAC, MP4, MOV — upload up to 100 MB or paste a direct link to the audio file. Download the result as Word, PDF, TXT, SRT or VTT.
