Sinhala transcription is offered here for recordings from Sri Lanka, but accuracy is low and the text needs correcting throughout. The draft is written in Sinhala script, and it's best checked line by line against the audio. Short, clear clips of one speaker give the best results.

Questions

Does it translate Sinhala into English?

It can, on translate audio to English, but with accuracy this low expect the English to need as much checking as the Sinhala. This page keeps the text in Sinhala.

My recording mixes Sinhala and English. Will that work?

Use audio to text, which detects the language for itself. This page expects Sinhala all the way through.

Is it free?

Yes, with no account.

How long can the recording be?

Up to 90 minutes, in a file under 95 MB.
