Устранение неполадок Banglish
Banglish requires TalkWriter Pro or Enterprise. Upgrade to Pro →
This page covers the 6 most common Banglish issues with a clear diagnostic path for each one. Follow the steps in order -- most issues are resolved in the first check.
Issue 1: Getting English Translation Instead of Banglish
Symptom: You speak Bengali but the output is English text ("I will go to the market" instead of "Ami bazare jabo").
Diagnostic Flow:
Check 1: Is Transliteration enabled?
- Go to Settings > Language
- Look for the Transliteration toggle
- If it is OFF, turn it ON
- Try dictating again
Check 2: Is your language set manually?
- Go to Settings > Language > Speech Language
- If it says "Auto," change it to "Bengali" (or your language)
- Try dictating again
Check 3: Are you on a Pro or Enterprise plan?
- Go to Settings > Account
- If you are on the Free plan, Banglish is not available
- Upgrade to Pro ($9.99/mo) or Enterprise ($29/mo)
| Check | Fix | Resolves Issue |
|---|---|---|
| Transliteration OFF | Turn it ON | 40% of cases |
| Language set to Auto | Set to specific language | 50% of cases |
| Free plan | Upgrade to Pro | 10% of cases |
Issue 2: Getting Native Script Instead of Banglish
Symptom: You speak Bengali and the output is in Bengali script ("আমি বাজারে যাবো") instead of romanized Banglish.
Diagnostic Flow:
Check 1: Is Transliteration enabled?
- Go to Settings > Language
- The Transliteration toggle must be ON
- If ON but still getting native script, proceed to Check 2
Check 2: Restart TalkWriter
- Quit TalkWriter completely
- Reopen the app
- Try dictating again
Check 3: Check for updates
- Ensure you are running the latest version of TalkWriter
- Older versions may have transliteration bugs that have been fixed
Issue 3: Output Is in the Wrong Language
Symptom: You speak Bengali but the output is romanized Hindi, Urdu, or another language.
Diagnostic Flow:
Check 1: Is the correct language selected?
- Go to Settings > Language > Speech Language
- Verify it says "Bengali" (not Hindi, Urdu, or Auto)
- The most common cause is having a similar language selected
Check 2: Are you code-switching heavily?
- If you mix Hindi and Bengali frequently, the system may pick up the wrong language
- Try dictating in pure Bengali to test
- If pure Bengali works but mixed speech does not, reduce code-switching
Check 3: Restart and re-test
- Quit TalkWriter, reopen, and try a simple Bengali sentence
| Symptom | Most Likely Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Hindi output instead of Bengali | Hindi language selected | Change to Bengali |
| Urdu output instead of Hindi | Urdu language selected | Change to Hindi |
| Random language output | Auto-detect enabled | Switch to manual selection |
Issue 4: Banglish Toggle Is Greyed Out
Symptom: The Transliteration toggle exists but you cannot click it -- it appears greyed out or disabled.
Diagnostic Flow:
Check 1: Are you on a Pro or Enterprise plan?
- Banglish is a Pro feature
- Free plan users see the toggle but cannot enable it
- Go to Settings > Account to check your plan
Check 2: Is a language selected?
- Transliteration may require a speech language to be set first
- Select your language, then try enabling transliteration
Check 3: Is there an app update available?
- Check for updates -- the toggle may be fixed in a newer version
Issue 5: Romanization Looks Wrong or Unnatural
Symptom: Banglish is working but the romanization does not look like how you would normally type Banglish. For example, unusual letter choices or awkward spelling.
Diagnostic Flow:
Check 1: Is the speech input accurate?
- Check if the speech recognition is hearing you correctly
- Try speaking more clearly and at a natural pace
- Test in a quiet environment
Check 2: Are you speaking common words?
- AI romanization is most accurate with common Bengali vocabulary
- Rare words, technical terms, or neologisms may romanize unexpectedly
Check 3: Is intensity set to Full Rewrite?
- If TalkTone is enabled with Full Rewrite intensity, it may change Banglish phrasing significantly
- Try Medium or Light intensity for more natural Banglish
Optimization tips:
- Speak complete sentences (gives the AI more context)
- Avoid mumbling
- Use a better microphone
- See Accuracy Tips for full optimization guide
Issue 6: Banglish Works Sometimes but Not Consistently
Symptom: The same sentence produces Banglish sometimes and English other times. Results are unpredictable.
Diagnostic Flow:
Check 1: Is Auto-detect enabled?
- This is almost always the cause of inconsistent results
- Auto-detect guesses your language for each dictation session
- Sometimes it guesses Bengali (correct), sometimes English (wrong)
- Fix: Set language manually
Check 2: Are you starting sentences with English words?
- If you say "So, ami kal jabo" the system may interpret the "So" as English and switch modes
- Try starting sentences with Bengali words
Check 3: Is your microphone picking up other voices?
- Background conversations in English may confuse the system
- Move to a quieter location or use a directional microphone
| Pattern | Most Likely Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Works 50% of the time | Auto-detect enabled | Switch to manual |
| Works for long sentences, fails for short | Auto-detect lacks context for short audio | Switch to manual |
| Works in quiet room, fails elsewhere | Background noise | Reduce noise or use better mic |
