How Vietnamese speech transcribes
Vietnamese is tonal, and northern and southern accents differ. Clear recordings transcribe well, but a wrong tone mark can change a word's meaning, so check key passages.
What a Vietnamese transcript looks like
Vietnamese transcripts include the full set of tone marks and diacritics, which matter for meaning. Vietnamese writes each syllable as a separate word, so a transcript looks like many short words; names are usually written as spoken.
Examples
A Ho Chi Minh City startup transcribes a 43-minute recorded Vietnamese user interview.
A student transcribes an 11-minute Vietnamese voice note.

Frequently asked questions
Does it handle northern and southern Vietnamese accents?
Both are recognised. Tone marks can occasionally be wrong in noisy audio, so check important passages.
