Speech to Text Danish

Speech to Text Danish

Danish is spoken by roughly 6 million people, almost all of them in Denmark. What sets the language apart phonologically is the stød — a glottal catch unique among Scandinavian languages — along with a notoriously soft pronunciation of consonants that makes Danish one of the harder Nordic languages for outsiders to parse. None of that troubles Narakeet’s danish transcription engine. Upload a recording and the speech to text Danish tool produces clean, readable text from standard spoken Danish (da-DK).

The danish transcriber handles meetings, interviews, lectures, podcasts and any other recording where clear Danish is spoken. Voice to text Danish results appear directly in the browser, ready to copy or download. No desktop software, no browser plugin — the danish speech recognition runs entirely on remote servers.

Danish Speech Recognition — Tips and Considerations

Danish speech recognition on Narakeet targets standard Danish as spoken in Copenhagen and across Zealand. Speakers with clear Rigsdansk pronunciation get the strongest results. Regional varieties — Jutlandic, Bornholmian, Southern Danish — are processed, though thick dialect may lower precision. The stød and soft-d sounds that define Danish phonology are expected by the model, so they do not cause issues in standard speech.

The tool currently accepts MP3 uploads. Support for WAV, M4A and video containers (MP4, MOV) is coming — video files will have their audio extracted automatically. During the beta phase, recordings up to 60 minutes are accepted. Contact support if you need voice to text Danish for longer files. Recording quality matters more than accent: a clean close-mic capture in a quiet room outperforms a noisy conference recording regardless of the speaker’s dialect.
