Sample transcript

How it works

  1. 1

    Add your Malay audio

    Upload a Malay audio or video file, paste a YouTube or TikTok link, or record a meeting with the desktop app or Chrome extension. LiteScribe starts transcribing a recorded meeting as soon as it ends. MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, and WebM all work.

  2. 2

    Choose Malay, not Indonesian

    Select Malay in the language list. Malay and Indonesian share most of their grammar but differ in everyday words and spelling, such as kereta and mobil for car or percuma and gratis for free, so choose Malay yourself rather than leaving it to detection.

  3. 3

    Get your transcript

    LiteScribe returns a Malay transcript with speaker labels, punctuation, an AI summary, action items, and topic tags. English terms are common in Malaysian meetings, so give them a quick check in the editor.

  4. 4

    Translate and export

    Translate the transcript into English with the Translate button, ask AI questions about what was said, then export TXT or SRT on any plan, or DOCX and PDF on Pro, Business, or with a minute pack.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Malay is one of the well-supported languages for recorded files. Clear speech from a headset or a nearby microphone gives the best result, and accuracy drops with crosstalk, music, and background noise, as it does for any service. Every transcript is editable, so names, places, and acronyms are quick to correct.

Malaysian speech often moves between Malay and English in one sentence, sometimes with Chinese or Tamil words as well. Select Malay for recordings that are mostly Malay and check the English terms when you review. For a recording that is mostly English, choose English instead.

Yes. Press Translate on the transcript page and pick English or another of the 19 target languages. Translation is included on every plan, which makes it easy to share a Malay meeting, lecture, or interview with colleagues in other countries.

Not word by word yet. Malay is not one of the live languages, so captions do not appear while people speak. Record the meeting with the desktop app or Chrome extension instead, and LiteScribe starts transcribing it as soon as you stop, with speaker labels and a summary, at 1 credit per minute.

Yes. LiteScribe includes 120 free transcription minutes every month with no credit card required, covering Malay uploads, links, and recorded meetings. That is about two hours of interviews or four half-hour meetings. Minute packs and the Pro and Business plans are on the pricing page if you need more.

Yes, with Local Mode in the desktop app. It transcribes Malay audio on your own computer with an on-device speech model, so the audio never leaves your machine and nothing is sent to any third-party AI service. Local Mode comes with Pro and Business, or with any minute pack for 30 days.
