Bengali · Bangla
Tap the bubble floating over whatever app you're in, say your sentence in Bengali, and Bengali script appears in the field that already had your cursor. No Bangla keyboard to install, and nothing to transliterate afterwards.
Messages
Spoken in Bengali, inserted in Bengali script.
Not transliteration
A lot of Bengali gets typed in the Latin alphabet because reaching the Bangla layout costs more than the message is worth. Speakline removes the cost rather than the script: say it in Bengali and Bengali is what lands, with nothing to convert afterwards.
It transcribes and does not translate. Speak Bengali and Bengali is what appears — there is no setting that turns it into English on the way to the field.
Auto mode, honestly
The Auto mode that follows a speaker across a mid-sentence language switch covers ten languages — English, Spanish, French, German, Hindi, Russian, Portuguese, Japanese, Italian and Dutch. Bengali is not one of them. The list comes from the transcription engine, not from us, and it is better said here than discovered in a bad transcript. For Bengali, set the language to Bengali.
Text styles
The four text styles — Clean, Formal, Casual and Excited — change the mark a sentence ends on, and they apply to languages written in the Latin alphabet. A Bengali sentence closes with ।, not a full stop, so Speakline leaves your Bengali exactly as dictated whatever style is selected rather than welding a Latin mark onto the end of it.
Questions
No. Speakline isn't a keyboard and doesn't appear in the keyboard picker. It types into the field through Android's accessibility service, so whatever keyboard you already have stays where it is.
Bengali script. Speakline writes Bengali the way Bengali is written, and there is no transliteration mode.
No. Auto covers ten languages — English, Spanish, French, German, Hindi, Russian, Portuguese, Japanese, Italian and Dutch — and Bengali is not among them. For Bengali, set the language to Bengali.
No. Speakline transcribes in the cloud and needs a connection every time you speak, in Bengali as in every other language. It doesn't fall back to your phone's built-in recogniser.
