How it works
How do you translate a Latvian recording into English?
To translate Latvian audio to English, drop the recording on the page; it listens for Latvian and writes English. The speech is transcribed in Latvian, a short piece at a time, then each line is put into English with its time. Open the Latvian whenever a line needs checking.

Why can place names come out wrong in English?
Because Latvian bends names into case forms. In our test, “Brisbeinas”, Brisbane with a Latvian ending, came back as “Brussels”, and Raonic kept a Latvian spelling, “Raonič”. When a name matters, play the recording at that line’s time and check it.
How well is Latvian speech transcribed?
Well, with slips in names and rare words. In our speech test the volcano Njiragongo was heard as “ņira gongo” and became “the Nira Gongo volcano” in English: a word misheard in Latvian is translated as heard. Overall, Latvian speech into English rated good.
What does English add to a Latvian sentence?
Articles and small words. Latvian has no “the” or “a”, and many of its case endings stand where English uses “at”, “in” or “of”, so the translation supplies them. In our test a time kept its Latvian form, 08:46, with “no rīta” turned into a.m.
- Tieši plkst. 08:46 no rīta pilsētā iestājās klusums
- English translationExactly at 08:46 a.m., silence fell over the city
- Nesen viņš zaudēja Raoničam Brisbeinas atklātajā čempionātā.
- English translationRecently he lost to Raonič at the Brussels Open Championship.

| Nesen viņš zaudēja Raoničam Brisbeinas atklātajā čempionātā. | Recently he lost to Raonič at the Brussels Open Championship. |
What happens to tu and jūs in English?
Both become “you”. English has no polite form, so the distance or closeness a Latvian speaker chose disappears in translation. If it matters, for a client call or an interview, the Latvian transcript beside it still shows which form was used, at the same time.

FAQ
Questions about translating Latvian audio into English
Is the Latvian to English audio translator free?
Yes, for 3 recordings a day, each up to 30 minutes long, with no account. The English transcript, the Latvian one and all downloads are included.
Can I translate a Latvian voice message from WhatsApp or Telegram?
Yes. Save the voice message as a file, usually OGG or OPUS, and drop it on this page. It comes back as English text with the time of each line.
Do I also get the Latvian transcript?
Yes. Switch the result to Original to read the Latvian and save it as text or SRT. It shares the English transcript’s times, so any line can be matched.
What if the speakers switch to English or Russian?
This page writes all of the speech as Latvian before translating. For a recording that mixes languages, use the main audio translator with the spoken language on Detect automatically.
Does it show who said what?
No. The English transcript has words and times without names. NoteOwl on a Mac labels each speaker in the transcripts it makes.
Is my recording sent anywhere?
The file stays on your device. Your browser sends short pieces of its sound to a cloud AI transcription service, then the Latvian text to a cloud AI translation service; both discard what they get. NoteOwl stores no audio or text.
