Sundanese video in
Drop in the video file without converting it: MP4, MOV, MKV, WEBM, AVI, 3GP or a screen recording from your phone. The audio is pulled out on our server, so every timestamp still points to the right moment in the video. If the video is online, choose Import from link and paste a public link from YouTube, TikTok, Vimeo, Dropbox or Google Drive, or a direct link to the file; only the sound is downloaded.
The draft opens next to the player. Click a line to hear it and correct the text in place.
Sundanese, Indonesian and a rough draft
Sundanese has very little training data in the speech model, so expect a rough draft with many corrections. It is written in Latin script, with é and eu for vowels that Indonesian does not have, and the model sometimes drops them or uses Indonesian spellings instead.
Most Sundanese videos from West Java slip into Indonesian, sometimes for whole sentences. If a video is mostly Indonesian with some Sundanese, select Indonesian instead: the Indonesian parts will be much more accurate and you only fix the Sundanese lines. The polite and casual speech levels are both recognised, with the same caveats. Names of villages, people and Islamic terms are common errors, so check those against the video.
Sundanese videos people bring
Typical uploads:
- Pengajian and religious talks from West Java, to share as text.
- Comedy clips and vlogs, for subtitles.
- Wayang golek performances and storytelling, for study.
- Local news segments and interviews.
- Family videos from Bandung and the rest of Priangan.
Subtitles and exports
Export SRT or VTT after correcting the draft to add Sundanese subtitles on YouTube or in your editor. DOCX, PDF and TXT keep a written version. Wayang golek and songs with gamelan behind the voice are hard for any speech model, so expect to retype parts of them. Speaker labels are available on paid plans and with a Minute Pack. For your own recordings, one speaker close to the microphone in a quiet room gives a draft that needs far less work than a recording from across a hall.
English and the audio page
The transcript stays in Sundanese; there is no built-in translation. To read it in English, open the Google Translate link on the transcript, or use the AI prompt export to hand the text to ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. Translation from Sundanese is also less reliable, so check important passages with a speaker. For audio-only recordings, see the Sundanese audio to text page.
