What people transcribe in Malayalam

Malayalam transcription FAQ

Is Malayalam transcription really free?

Yes — 30 minutes every month on the free tier, no card required. Files are capped at 5 minutes each during beta. Past that, Pro packs start at ₹99 for 120 minutes.

How accurate is Malayalam transcription?

We measured 10–15% word error rate on typical speech recordings — that's each Malayalam job routed to a model tuned specifically for it, not one generic engine handling every language. See the full method on the accuracy page.

Does it output Malayalam script or Roman letters?

Native Malayalam script, not phonetic Roman. You get text you can paste straight into a document, not something you have to transliterate first.

What about code-mixed Malayalam and English?

Handled natively. Most real Indian speech mixes English words into Malayalam sentences, and the model keeps English words in Latin script where that is how people actually write them.

Can I upload WhatsApp voice notes directly?

Yes. WhatsApp's .ogg/Opus format is supported without conversion — forward the note, save the file, upload it.

Where is my Malayalam audio stored?

In India, and it is deleted automatically after 30 days. You can delete any file sooner from the dashboard.

How Malayalam compares to other tools

Most international transcription tools run one generic engine for every language, which reports 25–40% WER on Indic audio. We use a language-specific pipeline for Malayalam instead.
