A six-person panel discussion, and it kept every voice straight. I stopped double-checking after the third transcript.

What Makes Vietnamese Hard to Transcribe
Northern Vietnamese has six tones, and each one is written: ma is a ghost, má a cheek, mả a grave, mạ a rice seedling. A transcript without tone marks is not a simplified version, it is a different text. Vowels can carry two marks at once, as in ố (ô plus the rising tone), and the tone has to come from the audio and the context together.
Vietnamese writes every syllable separately, so học sinh (student), cửa hàng (shop) and Đà Nẵng each look like two words but work as one. For subtitles this matters: a line should not break inside such a word, and search for a single syllable will find far more than you meant. Two-syllable words are where a careful subtitle edit spends its time.
In Hà Nội, d, gi and r all sound like z; in Sài Gòn, d, gi and often v sound like y. The South pronounces the hỏi and ngã tones alike, so the written mark has to be chosen from the word, not the sound. The model is trained on Vietnamese speech from different regions, and the editor shows text and audio side by side for the lines you want to confirm.
What a Clean Vietnamese Transcript Looks Like
Three lines from a business call, and what to check in each.
- Speaker 1
Chị ấy đã gửi bản hợp đồng cho anh chưa?
The pronouns here are kinship terms that colleagues use by age, not a literal sister and brother. Note the stacked tone marks: a missing dot or hook changes the word.
- Speaker 2
Tuần sau chúng tôi sẽ mở thêm cửa hàng ở Đà Nẵng.
Every syllable is separated by a space, yet the phrases for next week, shop and the city name are single units. Keep each one on the same subtitle line.
- Speaker 1
Doanh thu quý này tăng 12,5%, đạt 3,2 tỷ đồng.
The number is spoken in full and written with a decimal comma, while Vietnamese uses a dot for thousands. Check figures before the text goes into a report.
How to Transcribe Vietnamese Audio

Rated Excellent 4.8/5 based on 580+ reviews
Other tools gave me a lowercase stream of words. Here sentences actually read like sentences — barely any cleanup.
No card, no tricks — I tested real files before paying and upgraded a week later because the workflow stuck.
Had trouble with a huge file — support walked me through batch upload the same morning. Rare these days.
Field interviews go in as MP3s and come out as clean DOCX with timestamps. My write-up time dropped by half.
Uploaded a two-hour recording during lunch — the transcript was waiting before I finished my coffee. The accuracy genuinely surprised me.
Our legal team approved it because processing stays on EU infrastructure. That alone ruled out most of the competition.
Upload a Vietnamese audio or video file up to 8 GB, or paste a link from YouTube or another site. BlaBlaScribe’s AI turns the speech into text with speaker labels and timestamps; on clear recordings, accuracy reaches up to 99.8%. Check the transcript against the audio in the editor, then export TXT, DOCX, PDF, CSV, XLSX, JSON, SRT, VTT or ASS. The first 30 minutes are free, no credit card required.
Yes. The transcript is written in standard Vietnamese script with all tone marks and vowel diacritics, not stripped to plain Latin letters. Marks are where Vietnamese transcripts go wrong most often, especially hỏi and ngã from Southern speakers, so review those first.
Yes. The model is trained on Vietnamese from different regions, so a Sài Gòn podcast or a speaker from Huế is recognised, not only Hà Nội broadcast speech. Strong local vocabulary or very fast speech may need a few edits.
A letter like ố can be stored as one character or as o plus two combining marks. Exported files are UTF-8; if you mix them with text from other sources, normalise everything to the same form (NFC is the usual choice) so that search and sorting work.
In the transcript they stay as spoken. When you translate to English they become I, you, he or she depending on who is talking to whom, which context usually makes clear; check a few lines in dialogue-heavy videos.
Up to 99.8% on clear audio, with punctuation and capitalisation. Background noise, overlapping voices and phone-quality recordings lower it, and the editor makes the remaining fixes quick.
All common audio and video formats — MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, MOV, MKV and more — up to 8 GB per file, or a YouTube or Vimeo link. Export to SRT, VTT, ASS, TXT, DOCX, PDF, CSV, XLSX or JSON.
Yes. You get 30 free minutes once, with no credit card: short Vietnamese recordings are transcribed in full, long ones show the first 10 minutes.
