Tibetan Speech AI

Turn Tibetan teaching recordings into searchable bilingual transcripts

We clean up and transcribe teaching recordings, producing a verbatim Tibetan transcript, a Chinese translation and Tibetan–Chinese subtitles. Every file is reviewed by a Buddhist-studies editor and ready to publish on the monastery website.

What recordings it suits

Oral histories

A written record of elder monks' and devotees' memories, with timecodes back to the original voice.

Scripture archives

Recitations and commentary turned into transcripts and archived alongside the original texts.

Teachings and meetings

Puja talks, courses and monastery meetings, written up afterwards to search and cite.

AI drafts, people finalize

We don't do raw machine translation. The model turns audio into a draft; a Buddhist-studies editor is responsible for terms and meaning.

  1. Noise reduction

    We reduce echo, crowd noise and background chanting so the speaker comes through clearly.

  2. Transcribe and translate

    Proven open-source speech models produce the Tibetan transcript and a first Chinese translation.

  3. Term matching

    Buddhist terms are checked against our own glossary so translations stay consistent.

  4. Editorial review

    Our editor checks every passage, flags open questions and finalizes with the monastery.

In development

Live translation at pujas

We are researching a device that translates Tibetan teachings into Chinese live during a puja and shows the text on a screen. It is still in development; we'll post updates here.

Tell us roughly how long they are, what they contain and how you'll use them. We'll look at a sample first, then plan the work with you.
