What Indonesian to English translation gives you

This page opens Whisper Web with Indonesian selected and the task set to Translate. Choose a recording or speak into the microphone, and OpenAI Whisper turns the Indonesian speech into English text with timestamps. The result is English text, not spoken audio, and it is produced after the recording is processed rather than live.

Need the words in Indonesian instead? Switch the task to Transcribe, or use audio to text. Other source languages are on the audio translator page.

Bahasa Indonesia, Malay and regional languages

Choose Indonesian for Bahasa Indonesia. Malay from Malaysia or Brunei has its own Malay setting in the tool. Regional languages such as Javanese and Sundanese are separate languages; set the one that is actually spoken.

Casual Indonesian uses many short forms and slang, and recordings often mix in English. Keep the language set to Indonesian and check informal phrases against the audio, especially in group conversations.

What people translate from Indonesian

Translation output is meant for reading and reference. For contracts or official documents, have a qualified translator review the English.

  • Voice messages from colleagues, suppliers or family.
  • Interviews and meetings with Indonesian-speaking teams.
  • Vlogs, lectures and podcasts in Bahasa Indonesia.
  • Customer calls you are allowed to record and review.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Whisper Web really free? Do I need an account?

In free local mode, audio is processed in your browser and is not uploaded. No account is required. Each file can be up to 20 minutes and 200 MB. There is no daily file-count limit. For longer files, Whisper Web Unlimited offers optional cloud processing with a per-file limit of 10 hours and 5 GB.

What is the official Whisper Web site?

The official Whisper Web site is https://whisperweb.dev. Other domains may use a similar name. Free local mode on whisperweb.dev runs in your browser without an account; each file is limited to 20 minutes and 200 MB.

Does my audio leave my device?

In free local mode, audio is processed in your browser and is not uploaded. Model files still download over the network the first time you use a model. Whisper Web Unlimited is an optional cloud workflow for larger files (up to 10 hours and 5 GB per file).

What if a result says Whisper Web but the address is different?

If a result says “Whisper Web” but the address is not whisperweb.dev, it is not the official Whisper Web site. Open https://whisperweb.dev to use free local transcription in your browser (20 minutes / 200 MB per file, no account).

How do I translate Indonesian voice to English?

Record on this page or upload an Indonesian recording. Indonesian and Translate are preselected; start the job and edit the English text when it finishes.

Is the Indonesian to English translator free?

Yes, for files up to 20 minutes and 200 MB each, with no account. Unlimited costs US$20 per month or US$120 per year for files up to 10 hours or 5 GB.

Does it work for Malay?

Choose Malay in the tool for Malaysian or Bruneian Malay. Indonesian and Malay are close, but setting the right language gives better results.

Can I translate English to Indonesian?

No. Whisper's translate task only outputs English. Transcribe the English with audio to text, then translate that text with a separate tool.

Does it speak the translation?

No. The result is English text, not spoken audio, and it is produced after the recording is processed rather than live.

Is my recording uploaded?

On the free path the recording is processed in your browser and not uploaded for translation. Unlimited uploads the file when you choose cloud processing.
