About Malay recordings

Malay is written in the Latin alphabet (Rumi), not in Jawi script. Malaysian speech often mixes in English (Manglish); short English phrases may stay in English. Malay and Indonesian are close: choose the one that matches the speaker for the right spelling conventions.

How to transcribe a Malay recording

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

Translate Malay audio into English or another language

Choose a translation language before paying and you get two versions: the original Malay 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

Will Malay be written in Jawi?

No. Malay is transcribed in the Latin alphabet (Rumi), the standard everyday script in Malaysia, Brunei and Singapore.

How accurate is Malay transcription?

A clear Malay recording with one speaker at a time comes out close to word-perfect. Accuracy drops with background music or noise, people talking over each other, strong regional accents and poor phone recordings: the same things that make a recording hard for a person to follow.

Can I translate Malay audio to English?

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

What if the recording mixes Malay 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 Malay.
