Marathi voice to text, free

Marathi and Hindi share the Devanagari script, which is exactly why generic voice typing so often writes Marathi speech as Hindi. Selecting Marathi here tells the speech engine which language it is hearing, so you get Marathi spellings and Marathi grammar.

It is useful for anything you would rather say than type: a message to the family group, notes from a site visit, or a voice note from a colleague you want to keep as text.

How to use it

1. Pick the language that is spoken (Marathi is already selected), or leave it on Auto-detect.
2. Press Record and speak, or Choose audio file to open a voice note you saved. Recording stops by itself after 30 seconds.
3. Press Convert to text. The text appears in the box below, ready to copy.
4. Need it in English? Press Translate to English. The same recording is translated.

Tips for Marathi

• Always pick Marathi rather than Auto-detect. On a short clip, Marathi and Hindi are the pair most often mixed up.
• Rupee amounts come out cleanest when said in full: "पंधरा हजार रुपये" rather than a quick "15k".
• Place names and surnames (Patil, Kulkarni, Hadapsar) are worth saying slowly; they are the words you are most likely to correct.
• The text is standard Marathi spelling; a strong local accent is understood, but the output is not written in dialect.
