Malay transcription works for recordings from Malaysia, Brunei and Singapore, and the text comes back in Latin letters. It's accurate on clear recordings, which usually need only a quick read. The page sets the language to Malay, so a clip isn't read as Indonesian, which has a page of its own.
Questions
My recording mixes Malay and English. Will that work?
Use audio to text instead. This page expects Malay all the way through, so English parts can come out badly. Audio to text works the language out for itself.
Does it translate Malay into English?
Yes, with translate audio to English. This page keeps the text in Malay.
Can I get Malay subtitles from a video?
Yes. Drop the video and download SRT or VTT from the transcript page. Every line keeps its timing.
Is it free?
Yes: 90 minutes a day, no account.
