About Slovenian transcription

Slovenian (Slovenščina) is written in the Latin alphabet and spoken principally in Slovenia. Subtitles generated here come back in that script, as ordinary written Slovenian, ready to use in an SRT or VTT file.

Slovenian keeps a dual number alongside singular and plural — a separate set of forms used when there are exactly two of something, which very few living languages retain. Its dialects are unusually fragmented for the size of the territory, and differ enough to affect a transcript.

What a Slovenian subtitle file looks like

Four lines as they come out of the exported SRT, in the Latin alphabet with the timings taken from the speech itself.

1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,240
Začnimo s prvim vprašanjem.

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,120
Ali me dobro slišite?

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,300
Podrobnosti bom delil čez trenutek.

4
00:00:09,700 --> 00:00:12,040
Se vidimo naslednjič.

Searching a Slovenian transcript

Slovenian is heavily inflected, so a term appears in a range of forms rather than repeating identically the way an English transcript would. That is correct output.

It does mean searching a transcript for a keyword will miss most of its occurrences unless you search for the stem — worth knowing before you use a transcript as an index.

Getting a better Slovenian transcript

• Set the language to Slovenian rather than leaving detection on, particularly for clips under a minute where there is little audio to judge from.
• Upload the highest-quality audio you have; compression artefacts cost more accuracy than most people expect.
• Check proper nouns, place names and numbers first — recognition errors concentrate there.
• Read the transcript before exporting. Slovenian subtitles are editable up until you download them.

Slovenian subtitles in another language

The same Slovenian audio can produce subtitles in any of the 76 supported languages instead of in Slovenian itself. English is the most common target, but every pair works, and the translated file keeps the original timings so it drops onto the same video unchanged.
