Speech to Text in Chinese: how it works
Speech to text turns Chinese audio into written text with timestamps for every sentence. Upload a recording or video and get a transcript you can copy, edit or download as subtitles.
Chinese voices on Speechma speak Mandarin, the official language of China and Taiwan and one of the official languages of Singapore. Mandarin is a tonal language with four main tones, so the same syllable can mean different words depending on its pitch. Mainland China uses simplified characters, while Taiwan and Hong Kong use traditional characters. With about 1.1 billion speakers, it is a large audience to reach.
