Estimated on clear, single-speaker audio. Recording quality, crosstalk and background noise move this figure further than the language itself does.

Words worth adding to your custom dictionary
Every language has a handful of words any engine has to guess at. In Greek these are the usual ones. Add them to your custom dictionary once and they come back right in every transcript from then on.
| Commonly guessed | What you meant | Why they collide |
|---|---|---|
| τύχη | τείχη | Five different spellings share one vowel sound; luck and walls are identical aloud. |
| Γιωργος | Γιώργος | The stress mark is mandatory and routinely dropped. |
| και | κι | The commonest conjunction contracts before vowels. |
Getting the best Greek transcript
Add personal and place names to your custom dictionary with their stress marks. Greek stress is mandatory and changes meaning, and the dictionary keeps it on the right syllable.
Record one speaker per track for panel discussions. Greek has several spellings for the same vowel sound, and clean single-speaker audio gives the model more context to choose from.
Common questions about Greek transcription
Who needs Greek transcription?
Greek and Cypriot broadcasters and publishers, shipping and maritime companies in Piraeus, legal practices, and universities running Greek-language research.
How accurate is Greek transcription?
We estimate around 96.0% on clear, single-speaker Greek audio. Recording quality moves that figure further than the language does, so a close microphone and one person speaking at a time is the biggest lever you have. Names, places and industry terms go into your custom dictionary once and come back right in every transcript after that.
Which Greek accents and dialects are supported?
These varieties: Standard Modern Greek, Cypriot, Northern Greek. The model is built for all of them, so a recording with several accents in the room is handled the same way as one without.
What is distinctive about Greek?
Greek has five ways of spelling the same vowel sound, all still in use, so the right spelling is decided by the word rather than the sound. The model picks by vocabulary, and places the stress mark, which is mandatory and changes meaning.
Will Greek text export correctly?
Yes. Greek text (Greek) comes through every export unchanged: Microsoft Word, PDF, plain text, and SRT, VTT and Avid DS subtitles. Text direction and diacritics survive the round trip, so a transcript opens the way it looked in the editor.
How long does Greek transcription take?
Most transcriptions are ready in less time than the length of the file. A 60-minute recording is typically processed well under an hour, and you get an email as soon as it is ready.
Can I translate a Greek transcript?
Yes. Pick a target language and click translate: your Greek transcript is translated into any of 60+ languages as a full, editable document with word-level timestamps preserved, so you can export subtitles from the translation just as you would from the original.

We've transcribed six hour-long interviews and go-transcribe works a treat. not 100% by any means, but good enough to save us days of manual transcription.
I used Go Transcribe to make the initial transcription and it was much easier. I'll certainly recommend it and use it again.
This service saves me a ton of time, and for the price the accuracy is really good. I sent a message to the support team and they replied really quickly.
