Somali Speech to Text
Approximately 22 million people across Somalia, Ethiopia, Kenya and Djibouti communicate in Somali daily. Narakeet’s Somali speech to text tool makes it straightforward to get a written transcript from any Somali audio recording — podcasts, interviews, meetings or personal voice notes.
The transcription engine works with standard Somali as written in Latin script. Upload your recording and receive clean text output that you can copy, edit or save.

Somali Audio Transcription - Common Questions
What audio formats can I transcribe?
You can upload MP3. Support for WAV, M4A and other common audio formats, as well as MP4, MOV and other video files is coming soon. The tool extracts the audio track automatically.
How long can my Somali audio file be?
In the beta phase, we are currently limiting the duration to 60 minutes, but contact us if you need longer content. There is no strict limit on file duration. Longer files take more time to process, but you can transcribe full-length recordings, lectures and interviews.
Is the transcription accurate for different Somali dialects?
The transcription engine handles standard Somali well. Regional variations and heavy accents may reduce accuracy, but results are generally reliable for clear recordings.
