Kannada speech to text — transcribe Kannada audio
Speak Kannada into the mic or upload Kannada audio — voice notes, meetings, lectures — and get ಕನ್ನಡ text in the Chrome side panel.
Bengaluru speech might be India's most code-switched — Kannada, English, and tech vocabulary in a single breath — and that's exactly the register Whisper AI handles well. The Kannada comes out in proper ಕನ್ನಡ script with its rounded letterforms, English words stay English, and Mysuru or North Karnataka accents don't throw it off.
Two ways to use it
Record Kannada speech, or upload Kannada audio

Hit the mic and speak Kannada naturally — with as much English mixed in as you like. Copy the text anywhere.
Upload an audio file
WhatsApp voice notes, recorded meetings, lectures — upload MP3, WAV, M4A, MP4, FLAC, or OGG.
