Transcribe Thai Audio and Video to Text

Turn Thai recordings into editable Thai text with AI transcription, then prepare an interview transcript or timed subtitles.

Taption is an online tool that uses AI to transcribe Thai audio and video into Thai text. Taption groups speech into meaningful subtitle segments, making subtitles easier to read and helping preserve context when translating into other languages. After signing in, you can edit the Thai transcript and export TXT or PDF documents, or SRT or VTT subtitles. If you need an English version, you can translate the reviewed transcript and create bilingual Thai–English subtitles.

Thai (Thailand) is preselected. Upload audio or video to get started.

Three details to check in a Thai transcript

Word boundaries and subtitle breaks

Thai does not put a space between every word. Listen to the complete phrase before deciding where a transcript segment or subtitle should end. Keep meaningful word groups together instead of splitting at a fixed character count. Watch the captions in the intended player, especially on a small screen, to check both line breaks and reading time.

Tone marks, vowels and names

Check the spelling of people, places and specialist terms against participant lists or another reliable reference. Thai vowel signs and tone marks can appear above or below the main text line, so inspect the exported font and line spacing as well as the wording. Review repeated names in context before applying the same correction throughout a recording.

Politeness and conversational context

Listen to sentence endings, forms of address and the surrounding exchange before translating a quotation. Check who is speaking or being addressed when the wording leaves that implicit. Preserve the difference between a question, a request and a definite commitment; a polite or tentative answer should not become an unconditional promise in English.

A Thai work interview, from transcript to subtitles

Follow a short exchange about a training video’s release. The Thai source stays beside an English translation. The SRT download uses the same Thai wording and timestamps as the source rows.

A readable transcript

TXT · PDF

Use plain text for editing or reuse, or a PDF for a document you can read and share. A transcript document is different from a timed subtitle track.

Timed subtitles

SRT · VTT

Keep caption text and timestamps together for a video platform or editor. Review the timing and line length against the recording.

A finished video or editing timeline

MP4 · FCPXML

Export a video with visible subtitles, or use FCPXML in a compatible post-production workflow. Video quality and available export options depend on your plan.

Thai text first. English translation after review.

Thai transcription turns Thai speech into Thai text. To create English text or subtitles, review the source transcript, then choose English in the translation workflow. Check names, dates, implied subjects and tone against the full exchange. Transcription and translation use minutes separately. Thai and English may need different line breaks, but both subtitle tracks should match the meaning and timing of the recording.

Work interviews and meeting notes

Keep a Thai source transcript with speaker labels and timestamps. Confirm names, dates and conditions before sharing a quotation or an English version with colleagues. Check what a short answer refers to in the preceding question.

Training and instructional videos

Prepare Thai captions for a recorded lesson or demonstration. Check technical terms against course materials, review phrase boundaries, and watch the exported captions for clipped marks or crowded lines before handing them to learners.

Travel and cultural interviews

Create captions for recordings you own or have permission to use. Verify the Thai spelling of places, dishes and personal names, then use consistent English names in the translated version. Review the complete exchange before adapting an excerpt for a shorter video.

Which setting should I choose for Thai audio?

Choose Thai (Thailand) in the recording-language selector. It is preselected on this page even though the website is in English. Review a short clip containing your speakers and terminology before processing a longer recording.

Does Thai transcription automatically produce English text?

No. Thai transcription produces Thai text. Sign in to review the source transcript, then choose English in the translation workflow if you need English text or subtitles. Translation uses minutes separately.

How should I split Thai text into subtitles?

Review Thai word and phrase boundaries with the recording. Spaces do not separate every Thai word, so a fixed character limit alone cannot choose a good break. Check the captions at normal speed in the intended player, with enough room for vowel and tone marks. Ask a Thai reader to review uncertain passages.

Can I correct Thai names and tone marks?

Yes. Sign in to edit the Thai transcript while checking the recording. Compare proper names with a participant list or another reliable spelling reference. Check each occurrence before making a broad replacement, and inspect the exported subtitles to make sure their font displays Thai marks clearly.

Can I use regional Thai speech or recordings with English words?

Thai (Thailand) is the Thai recording setting currently listed in Taption. Try a representative passage and check regional vocabulary, names and any language switches manually. The available setting does not establish equal accuracy for every regional variety or automatic recognition of mixed-language speech.

Can I upload a Thai video as well as an audio file?

Yes. You can upload audio such as MP3, WAV or M4A, or video such as MP4 or MOV. Transcription follows audible speech; it does not extract Thai text already visible on screen. The guest uploader accepts files up to 5 minutes and 200 MB.

How do I deliver Thai transcripts or English subtitles?

After review, choose TXT or PDF for a transcript, or SRT or VTT for timed subtitles. Use the subtitled MP4 workflow when the text should be visible in the video. For English subtitles, translate the reviewed Thai source first and check both tracks before a bilingual export. Export options and video quality depend on your plan.
