About Tibetan recordings

Tibetan is written in Tibetan script. It works for dharma talks and teachings; chanted prayers are harder than speech. Lhasa and exile Tibetan give the best results, while Amdo and Kham dialects are harder.

How to transcribe a Tibetan recording

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

Written in Tibetan, not in Latin letters

Your transcript comes back in Tibetan, the script Tibetan 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.

An honest note on accuracy

Automatic speech recognition has seen far less recorded Tibetan 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 Tibetan audio into English or another language

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

Does it work for dharma talks?

Yes. Teachings and talks in Tibetan are transcribed in Tibetan script; chanted prayers are harder than speech.

How accurate is Tibetan transcription?

Usable for clear speech, with more corrections than in English or Spanish. Speech models have heard far less Tibetan, 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 Tibetan audio to English?

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

What if the recording mixes Tibetan and Mandarin Chinese?

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

Will the Tibetan transcript be in Tibetan?

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

Is Tibetan supported as well as English?

It is supported, but less recorded Tibetan 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.
