How Turkish speech transcribes
Turkish speech transcribes well because spelling follows pronunciation closely; long suffixed words are occasionally split incorrectly.
What a Turkish transcript looks like
Turkish transcripts use the full Turkish alphabet — ç, ğ, ı, İ, ö, ş, ü. Because Turkish builds long words from suffixes, a single word in the transcript can correspond to a whole English phrase; search for the word stem rather than the full form.
Examples
An Istanbul agency transcribes a 46-minute recorded Turkish client meeting.
A journalist transcribes a 14-minute Turkish street interview.

Frequently asked questions
Can it transcribe Turkish mixed with German?
Turkish is transcribed well; German words inside Turkish sentences may be misheard, so review mixed passages.
