Why Use Our Tagalog Speech to Text Tool?
Accurate Filipino/Tagalog Recognition
Our Filipino voice to text tool accurately recognizes Tagalog speech patterns and pronunciation. The system understands the unique characteristics of Filipino language, including the use of affixes (panlapi) such as mag-, um-, -in, -an, and the distinctive "ng" and "mga" particles. Whether you're from Manila, Quezon City, Cebu, Davao, or anywhere in the Philippines, our speech recognition adapts to various Filipino accents while maintaining proper spelling in Filipino/Tagalog.
Handles Taglish and Code-Switching
Filipino speakers naturally mix Tagalog with English (Taglish) in everyday conversation. Our voice typing tool is designed to handle this code-switching seamlessly. It recognizes when you switch between Tagalog and English words within the same sentence, which is common in modern Filipino speech. The tool also understands Spanish loanwords (palabras que prestadas) that are commonly used in Filipino, such as "kumusta" (cómo está), "mesa" (table), and "silya" (silla/chair).

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is Filipino/Tagalog speech to text?
Our Filipino voice to text tool achieves 88-93% accuracy with clear speech and good audio quality. The tool is optimized for Tagalog language structure and pronunciation, including unique Filipino sounds like the glottal stop and "ng" particle. Accuracy depends on pronunciation clarity, background noise, and microphone quality. Native Filipino speakers typically experience higher accuracy than learners. The tool works well with both pure Tagalog and Taglish (Tagalog-English mix).
Can it understand Taglish (mixed Tagalog and English)?
Yes! Our tool is specifically designed to handle Taglish, which is how most Filipinos naturally speak. When you code-switch between Tagalog and English in the same sentence (e.g., "Pupunta ako sa mall para mag-shopping"), the tool accurately transcribes both languages. This makes it perfect for everyday Filipino communication where English words are commonly mixed with Tagalog, especially technical terms, modern concepts, and casual conversation.
Does it recognize regional Filipino languages or dialects?
Our tool is primarily optimized for Tagalog/Filipino, which is the national language of the Philippines. While the Philippines has many regional languages (Cebuano/Bisaya, Ilocano, Hiligaynon, Waray, etc.), this tool focuses on Tagalog. For best results, speak in Tagalog or Filipino. If you have a regional accent but are speaking Tagalog, the tool will still work well as it adapts to various Filipino accents from different regions.
How does it handle Filipino affixes (panlapi)?
Filipino/Tagalog is an agglutinative language with complex affixes. Our AI-powered tool understands and correctly transcribes words with prefixes (unlapi) like mag-, um-, ma-, pag-, and suffixes (hulapi) like -in, -an, -han. For example, it correctly transcribes "kumain" (ate), "kinakain" (eating), and "kakainin" (will eat) with proper spelling. The tool also handles infixes (gitlapi) and circumfixes (kabilaan) that are unique to Filipino grammar.
Is Filipino voice to text free to use?

Does Filipino voice typing work on mobile phones?
Yes, our Filipino speech to text tool works perfectly on mobile browsers. For best results on mobile, use Chrome on Android or Safari on iOS. Make sure to allow microphone permissions when prompted.
