Plenty of people speak Punjabi every day but rarely type it, because Gurmukhi keyboards on phones are awkward. Record what you want to say and this tool writes it in Gurmukhi for you.
Use it for a quick update from the dairy or the farm, or to keep an elder's voice message as text the whole family can read.
How to use it
- Pick the language that is spoken (Punjabi 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 Punjabi
- Select Punjabi so a short clip is not taken for Hindi, which shares much of its vocabulary.
- The output is in Gurmukhi script. Shahmukhi (the Perso-Arabic script used in Pakistan) is not produced.
- Tippi and addak (ੰ, ੱ) depend on clear pronunciation; a quiet room helps them come out right.
- Press Translate to English for relatives or colleagues who read English but not Gurmukhi.
