About Dhivehi recordings

Dhivehi is written in Thaana script, right to left. Very little recorded Dhivehi exists for speech models, so expect to check names and terms carefully.

How to transcribe a Dhivehi recording

  1. Upload the file (up to 5 GB) or paste a link from YouTube, TikTok, Facebook or another platform.
  2. Keep Dhivehi as the spoken language (or auto-detect), add a translation if you want one, and pay once.
  3. Download the Dhivehi transcript as plain text, text with timestamps and SRT subtitles.

Written in Thaana, not in Latin letters

Your transcript comes back in Thaana, the script Dhivehi is normally written in, not as a romanised approximation. The SRT file is plain UTF-8 text, so the characters display correctly in YouTube Studio, VLC, Premiere Pro and other modern players and editors.

Right-to-left text in TXT and SRT

Dhivehi is written from right to left. The transcript keeps the original characters and direction, and the subtitle file can be loaded into players and editors that support right-to-left text. If a line shows punctuation on the wrong side, the player is the problem, not the file: try VLC or YouTube Studio.

An honest note on accuracy

Automatic speech recognition has seen far less recorded Dhivehi than English or Spanish, so expect more mistakes in names, place names and specialist terms, especially in noisy recordings. Clear speech close to the microphone gives the best result. If a paid file cannot be transcribed at all, you are refunded automatically.

Translate Dhivehi audio into English or another language

Choose a translation language before paying and you get two versions: the original Dhivehi transcript and a line-by-line translation, both as TXT and as SRT with the same timings. That makes it easy to check the translation against the original, or to publish subtitles in both languages.

Questions

Is Dhivehi written in Thaana?

Yes, in Thaana script, right to left.

How accurate is Dhivehi transcription?

Usable for clear speech, with more corrections than in English or Spanish. Speech models have heard far less Dhivehi, so names, place names, numbers and specialist terms are where to look first. Background music, overlapping voices and phone-line audio make it harder still.

Can I translate Dhivehi audio to English?

Yes. Pick English (or any of 141 other languages) as the translation language before paying. You get the original Dhivehi transcript and the translation, both as TXT and SRT.

What if the recording mixes Dhivehi and English?

Leave the spoken language on auto-detect. Each part is written in the language it is spoken in, so English sentences stay in English instead of being forced into Dhivehi.

Will the Dhivehi transcript be in Thaana?

Yes. The text is written in Thaana, the way Dhivehi is normally written, not transliterated into Latin letters.

Does the Dhivehi SRT work in video editors?

Yes. The SRT file is standard UTF-8 with the original right-to-left text. YouTube Studio, VLC and most editors display it correctly; if punctuation looks out of place, check that your editor supports right-to-left text.

Is Dhivehi supported as well as English?

It is supported, but less recorded Dhivehi exists for training speech models, so the transcript usually needs more checking than an English one. The price is the same, and a file that fails entirely is refunded automatically.
