Varieties and writing conventions
Regional speech and spelling conventions matter. Identify the variety in your recording and check an excerpt before committing a larger project.
- Eastern Armenian
- Agree the spelling convention and vocabulary used by the speaker and intended audience.
- Western Armenian
- Diaspora material may follow traditional spelling; review it with a reader familiar with that convention.
- Hamshen / Homshetsi context
- Record the speaker’s own variety label and review local words rather than assuming the standard written form fits.
What to check in your transcript
Choose the Armenian variety in your recording and review Armenian-script text with attention to names and the project’s spelling conventions. For Armenian recordings, keep the variety and writing convention in your project notes.
Results depend on the recording, selected model and language variety. Review names, specialist terms and unclear passages before sharing or publishing.
Eastern or Western Armenian
Use the Western Armenian page when that fits the recording; keep the speaker’s variety in the project notes.
Armenian text
Check Armenian names, punctuation and spelling conventions before adapting the transcript for publication.

Armenian Speech to Text: Preserving Language Through AI
Armenian (Հայերեն) is a unique branch of the Indo-European language family with its own alphabet and a long written history. Today, it is used in Armenia and the diaspora — from Los Angeles to Beirut to Marseille. The language exists in two main standards: Eastern Armenian, the official language of the Republic of Armenia, and Western Armenian, spoken by descendants of Ottoman Armenians. Additionally, numerous regional dialects like Hamshen (Homshetsi) and Karabakh add further variety. For an Armenian transcription project, establish the speaker’s variety and the audience’s spelling expectations.
Why Accurate Speech-to-Text for Armenian Matters
In a world where video content dominates, having Armenian subtitle generation is critical for media producers, educators, and archivists. Diaspora communities rely on YouTube and podcasts to stay connected to their heritage, but without captions, much of this content remains inaccessible to the deaf and hard of hearing or non-native speakers. Moreover, oral history projects — especially those documenting the Armenian Genocide — require Armenian audio to text conversion to preserve testimonies in searchable, translatable formats. A project should agree whether its final text follows traditional or reformed spelling, and whether local forms are preserved. Review names, borrowed words and unclear consonant distinctions with a reader familiar with the speaker’s variety.
Practical Use Cases for Armenian Transcription
- Podcast transcription: Armenian-language podcasts discussing culture, politics, or history can be transcribed for show notes and SEO.
- YouTube subtitling: Content creators can generate reviewed Armenian subtitles in SRT format, providing a text alternative for viewers.
- Academic research: Linguists and historians can transcribe interviews with elderly native speakers in Western Armenian, preserving fragile oral traditions.
- Media monitoring: News agencies and NGOs can prepare searchable text from recorded Armenian radio and TV material for analysis.
- Accessibility: Reviewed captions for recorded Armenian webinars and classes give learners a text companion.
- Language learning: Students of Armenian can transcribe native speech to practice listening and pronunciation.
Writing conventions and review
Decide whether the project follows reformed or traditional Armenian spelling before editing. Consonant distinctions and their pronunciation vary between Armenian varieties; a short, unclear sound should be checked against the recording rather than resolved through a confident guess. Review personal names, place names, quotations and borrowed words carefully. A familiar spelling from one community may not be the editorial choice used by another.
Questions before you start
Practical details before you start.
Should I use Eastern or Western Armenian spelling?
Choose the convention that matches your readers and project. Review spelling with someone familiar with the speaker’s variety; the page does not establish equal recognition quality across varieties.
How should I handle mixed Armenian and another language?
Listen to each language change, check names and quoted material, and keep a separate translation if one is needed. Do not replace unclear Armenian words with plausible words from the other language.
How do I start a transcription?
Open the Speechyou account flow, sign in or create an account, and upload the recording there. This landing page describes the workflow; it does not process a file directly.
Which transcript and subtitle exports can I use?
The confirmed choices described here are TXT, SRT, VTT and JSON. Review the downloaded file. Test SRT or VTT in the intended video player and check the caption wording, timing and line breaks.
Should I publish an automatic draft without review?
Review it against the recording first, particularly names, numbers, local wording, script-specific characters and language changes. Keep unresolved passages identifiable rather than substituting a confident guess.
Does an Armenian page automatically establish equal results for Eastern and Western Armenian?
No. Choose the relevant variety and review a representative section of the recording before planning a larger project.
What written form should I review for Armenian?
Review the armenian script text and check that it matches your project’s writing convention. Any transliteration or translation should be an explicit editing task; the page name alone is not a guarantee of automatic conversion.
Does choosing a file here start transcription?
No. Choosing or dropping a file takes you to signup. The landing page does not upload, store or transcribe it. After creating your account, select the file again in the app and choose the spoken language and model.
Which audio and video formats can I use?
The app accepts MP3, WAV, AAC, OGG, FLAC and M4A audio, plus MP4, WEBM, MOV, M4V and MPEG/MPG video. The free trial and Solo support files up to 10 GB each. You can extract or trim a short section first to evaluate the result.
Can I create subtitles and edit the transcript?
In the app, review and edit the transcript before exporting. Use TXT for plain text, SRT for video editors and YouTube, VTT for web captions, or JSON for structured data. Check subtitle timing and line breaks against the original video before publishing.
