English to Thai audio translator

A transcript in Thai script, paragraph by paragraph, each with the time it was said. A Word copy opens with the recording’s name, its length and “Translated: English → Thai”, and every file carries .th in its name, beside the English version.

In polite lines, as a man. “Please sit down, sir” became “กรุณานั่งลงครับ”: ครับ is what men say, and a woman would end with ค่ะ. With several speakers, match each polite line’s particle to whoever said it.

Lightly. “You” became คุณ, polite and neutral, and “Our doctor said she would call back tomorrow” became “คุณหมอบอกว่าจะโทรกลับพรุ่งนี้”: a respectful “doctor”, no pronoun and no gender. Thai often drops what English spells out, and the meaning still holds.

Because Thai doesn’t use them. Words run together and a space marks the end of a phrase or sentence, so the commas in “Well, you know, it’s kind of a big deal” became spaces: “เอ่อ คุณรู้ไหม มันเป็นเรื่องใหญ่พอสมควร”.

English names come out in Thai letters, spelled by sound: Raonic appeared as ราโอนิก in our longer test. Search the Thai transcript for a name the way it sounds, or search the English transcript instead.

Thai and English are among the languages NoteOwl understands on a Mac. It transcribes calls in either with unlimited transcription, labels each speaker and keeps every conversation searchable. For English words from an English recording, use audio to text.
