Drop in an audio or video file and get Gujarati text back in Gujarati script. It reads MP3, M4A, WAV, AAC, FLAC and AMR audio, WhatsApp voice notes (.opus and .ogg) and MP4 or MOV video, and the file is decoded on our server, so it works the same on an iPhone. You can also record from your microphone. There is no language menu: Valmiki STT, the speech recognition model behind it, works out that the speech is Gujarati, including English words in the middle of a sentence.

Real transcripts

What Valmiki STT returned for Gujarati.

Each sentence was read by Kinjal, a Pāṇini TTS voice, and sent to Valmiki STT as a file: twice as the clean recording and twice as an 8 kHz phone-quality copy (squeezed down to 8 kHz and back, the way a phone line does it). The transcripts are shown exactly as they came back, errors included. Tested 25 October 2026. These are synthetic clips, not recorded calls.

Clean recordingReal output, 25 October 2026

What was said: હેલો, મારો order હજુ સુધી આવ્યો નથી. જરા check કરીને કહેશો કે ક્યારે આવશે?; Hello, my order still hasn't come. Could you check and tell me when it will arrive?
What Valmiki STT returned, unedited: હેલો, મારો ઓર્ડર હજુ સુધી આવ્યો નથી. જરા ચેક કરીને કહેશો કે ક્યારે આવશે?

Same transcript in both clean runs: word for word, with order and check in Gujarati script.

Phone quality (8 kHz)Real output, 25 October 2026

What was said: હેલો, મારો order હજુ સુધી આવ્યો નથી. જરા check કરીને કહેશો કે ક્યારે આવશે?; Hello, my order still hasn't come. Could you check and tell me when it will arrive?
What Valmiki STT returned, unedited: હેલો, મારો ઓર્ડર હજુ સુધી આવ્યો નથી. જરા ચેક કરીને કહેશો કે ક્યારે આવશે?

Same transcript in both phone-quality runs, identical to the clean ones.

How to judge the accuracy yourself

No public benchmark includes Valmiki STT, so we do not publish a table comparing it with other services. Judge it on audio like yours instead. Play each clip above and compare what was said with what came back, word by word. Then upload a recording of your own that is close to what you will really transcribe: the same kind of phone line or microphone, the same speakers, the same mix of Gujarati and English. Count the words that changed meaning, not the spelling variants, and try the 8 kHz case if your audio comes from calls.

About Gujarati

How Gujarati speech comes out as text.

Gujarati is written without the headline that joins Devanagari letters, and everyday Gujarati borrows English for anything to do with business: order, bill, GST, payment. On our test sentence, all four runs, clean and 8 kHz, came back word for word and identical to each other, with the English words written in Gujarati script as ઓર્ડર and ચેક.

A single clean sentence is an easy test, and identical runs do not mean every recording will go as well. Gujarati speech with heavy background noise, several speakers or a strong regional accent is where to look for mistakes, so try a recording like yours.

Transcript script: Gujarati script. English words are written in Gujarati script (ઓર્ડર, ચેક).
Language setting: None. Valmiki STT detects the spoken language, including switches mid-sentence.
Price after the free files: $0.00525 per minute of audio, billed by the second.
In local currency: About ₹0.50 a minute (₹29.93 an hour of audio), at exchange rates from open.er-api.com, 25 October 2026.
Files: MP3, M4A, WAV, AAC, FLAC, AMR, WhatsApp .opus and .ogg, and MP4 or MOV video in the uploader. The API takes WAV, MP3, FLAC, OGG, Opus, WebM, AAC and M4A files up to 10 MB and 10 minutes.

Dialects and mixing

Surti, Kathiawadi, Kutchi, and Gujarati abroad.

Gujarati sounds different in Surat, in Saurashtra (Kathiawadi) and in north Gujarat, and Kutchi, spoken in Kutch, is usually counted as a separate language that Valmiki STT does not list. Our test sentence is standard Ahmedabad-style Gujarati. Test recordings from your own region before relying on the result.

Gujarati families in the UK, the US and East Africa mix in more English than speakers in Gujarat, sometimes switching for whole sentences. Valmiki STT detects the switch without a setting; on our test it wrote single English words in Gujarati script. Use the Roman script tab if you want the English words in English letters.

Use cases

What people turn into Gujarati text.

WhatsApp voice notes to Gujarati text

Voice notes from family in Gujarat or abroad, or from a trader confirming rates and quantities. Upload the .opus file and read the Gujarati, or switch to English to forward it.

YouTube videos to Gujarati text

Gujarati recipe channels, bhajans and religious talks, business explainers and comedy. For your own channel, download the MP4 from YouTube Studio and use the SRT file as a start on Gujarati captions.

Interviews and meetings

Interviews and recorded meetings in Ahmedabad, Surat and Rajkot businesses. Upload parts of up to 10 minutes after a free sign-up and download a Word file.

Call recordings

Order and payment calls for traders and wholesalers, where amounts and quantities matter. Read what was agreed instead of replaying the call, and check the numbers against the audio.

Voice typing

How to voice-type in Gujarati.

Voice typing is a different job from transcribing a file: you speak and the words appear as you go. Sonex Labs has no voice-typing keyboard or app, so for that, use the tools already on your phone or computer.

1. Android phone (Gboard)
Install Gboard, add Gujarati (ગુજરાતી) under Languages in its settings, then tap the microphone on the keyboard and speak.
2. iPhone
Add the Gujarati keyboard in Settings, then General, Keyboard, Keyboards. If your iPhone offers dictation for Gujarati, a microphone key appears on that keyboard.
3. WhatsApp
To type a message by voice, tap the microphone on your keyboard, not the voice-note button in WhatsApp; the keyboard writes the words into the chat box. WhatsApp can also show a transcript under a received voice message in some languages (Settings, then Chats, then Voice message transcripts). If Gujarati is not offered there, save the voice note and upload it above.
4. Microsoft Word
Word's Dictate lists Gujarati (India) as a preview language, which Microsoft says may be less accurate and add less punctuation.
5. Windows
Windows 11 voice typing lists Gujarati. Switch the keyboard input to Gujarati (Windows key + Space), press Windows key + H in a text box and speak.

For recordings longer than a minute, use the uploader above.

FAQ

Gujarati speech to text, answered.

Yes, for short files. The uploader on this page turns Gujarati audio into text with no account for files up to 2 minutes, 3 files a day. For longer files, sign up free and transcribe files of up to 10 minutes and 10 MB each in the dashboard or through the API; that costs $0.00525 a minute, billed by the second, so a 10-minute recording costs about 5.25 US cents.

There is no app to install. The uploader works in the browser on a phone too: open this page on Android or iPhone, pick a voice note, recording or video from your files, and read the Gujarati text. For typing by voice as you speak, use your phone keyboard's microphone, as described in the voice-typing steps above.

Yes. It runs in a current browser: Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari on a Windows PC or a Mac, and Safari or Chrome on an iPhone or Android phone. Files are decoded on our server, so an iPhone voice memo, a WhatsApp .opus note or a MOV video works the same as on a PC. There is nothing to install.

Long-press the voice note in WhatsApp and share or export it to your files; on Android, received voice notes are also kept as .opus files in WhatsApp's media folder. Upload the .opus or .ogg file here and the Gujarati text appears. Notes up to 2 minutes need no account.

Upload the audio, then open the English tab above the transcript. Vyas, our language model, translates the Gujarati transcript when you open the tab, and you can copy it or download it like the transcript. Check names, amounts and dates against the Gujarati text, because a word misheard in Gujarati carries into the English.

Yes. The uploader's Roman script tab shows the transcript in English letters, as Gujarati is often typed in chats. The API returns Gujarati script, as it did in all four runs of our sample.

On our test sentence, word for word and identical in all four runs, clean and 8 kHz. That is one short, clear sentence, not a benchmark; test recordings like yours, especially with background noise or several speakers.

Without an account, 2 minutes per file and 3 files a day. With a free account, up to 10 minutes and 10 MB per audio file in the dashboard or the API, billed by the second. For anything longer, split the recording into parts of 10 minutes or less and send each one; the API takes the same limit.

Our test sentence had no numbers, so we cannot say yet. Upload a recording with an amount or a date and check which digits come back.
