Practise Khmer typingHow to use Khmer voice typing
- Open this page in Chrome or Edge on a computer or Android phone. Other browsers may not offer speech recognition for Khmer.
- Press the microphone in the bottom corner of the text box and allow the browser to use your microphone.
- Speak Khmer naturally, in short sentences, close to the microphone in a quiet room. Your words are written as you talk.
- Press the microphone again to stop, correct any word with the keyboard, then copy, download, share or translate your text.
Tips for better Khmer speech to text
- Use a headset or the phone's microphone held close – background noise causes most mistakes.
- Pause briefly between sentences; long pauses may stop the recording.
- Names and rare words may be written differently – fix them with the on-screen NiDA keyboard.
- Check punctuation at the end: speech recognition does not always add full stops.
Where does my voice go?
Voice typing uses the speech recognition built into your browser. In Google Chrome the audio is processed by Google, in Microsoft Edge by Microsoft. All Keyboards never receives or stores your voice – see the Privacy Policy.
