“AI transcription works brilliantly!”, as long as you speak English. When it comes to Czech, most global tools start producing sentences that would not make sense even after the third beer. Why is that, and how can you tell a transcript you can rely on?
Czech is extremely hard for AI
Seven grammatical cases, free word order, voicing assimilation, diminutives, colloquial versus standard Czech… Models trained mostly on English struggle with all of it. The result is mixed-up names, broken grammar and words nobody said. In a business meeting where numbers and commitments are at stake, that is a problem: one wrongly transcribed “no” can change the whole meaning of an agreement.
Where it breaks down most often
Names and companies (the surname “Vodháněl” turned into the nonsense “Mr Water Brown”), technical terms (margin, cash flow, solar plant inspections), numbers and amounts and several people talking fast over each other. These are exactly the places that show whether a tool really handles Czech or just “supports” it on the pricing page.
How ZAPSIO handles it
ZAPSIO combines several top AI models at once and has been built for the Czech and Slovak market from the start. And the transcript is not the end: another layer works on top of it, fixing context, assembling the summary, tasks and deadlines and phrasing the output in natural Czech. You will notice the difference at your first meeting.
The best benchmark is not a vendor’s demo video but your own meeting, with people interrupting each other, abbreviations and names only your company knows.
Try it on your own recording
