Malayalam words run long, with many letters joined together, which makes them tiring to type on a phone. Say the sentence instead and copy the text.
It works for voice notes from family abroad as well as work updates, and the Translate to English button helps when the reader does not know Malayalam.
How to use it
- Pick the language that is spoken (Malayalam is already selected), or leave it on Auto-detect.
- Press Record and speak, or Choose audio file to open a voice note you saved. Recording stops by itself after 30 seconds.
- Press Convert to text. The text appears in the box below, ready to copy.
- Need it in English? Press Translate to English. The same recording is translated.
Tips for Malayalam
- Select Malayalam for the best result; on short clips it can be confused with Tamil.
- Malayalam is often spoken fast. A normal, steady pace gives cleaner word breaks than rushing.
- English words common in Kerala speech (meter, reading, bill) are recognised and usually written in Malayalam script.
- Record indoors if you can; wind and traffic noise affect long compound words the most.
What the text looks like

“Took meter readings at three houses today; one meter is faulty.”
