Ukrainian YouTube Transcription — Cyrillic Script

Ukrainian uses the Cyrillic alphabet and is distinct from Russian, though code-switching between Ukrainian and Russian (known as Surzhyk) is common in some regional content. TranscribeVideo.ai outputs Ukrainian speech in Ukrainian Cyrillic, correctly handling the unique Ukrainian letters (і, ї, є, ґ) that distinguish it from Russian orthography. The AI handles standard literary Ukrainian as used in news broadcasts and educational content, as well as more colloquial spoken Ukrainian. Accuracy on clear Ukrainian speech is approximately 88–92%. News channel transcripts, university lecture recordings, and documentary content all perform well. The tool is particularly valuable for researchers monitoring Ukrainian media, journalists covering Eastern European topics, and diaspora communities wanting searchable transcripts of Ukrainian-language content.
