English → Thai Translation

English to Thai translation on macOS - beautiful Thai script output with natural phrasing, powered by AI.

How It Works

  1. Select your text

    Highlight the text you want to translate in any application - email, a document, a browser tab, or a chat window.

  2. Press the shortcut

    Hit your configured Echoo keyboard shortcut. Nothing is copied to the clipboard and no window opens.

  3. AI translates

    Claude Sonnet 4.5 handles Thai's lack of word spacing, which means sentence structure has to be inferred rather than read off the text.

  4. Result appears inline

    The Thai is pasted back in place with correct tone marks and no inserted spaces between words.

Example Translation

English (Original)

The hotel offers complimentary breakfast from 7 AM to 10 AM. The swimming pool is open until 9 PM daily.

Thai (Translated)

โรงแรมให้บริการอาหารเช้าฟรีตั้งแต่ 7.00 น. ถึง 10.00 น. สระว่ายน้ำเปิดให้บริการทุกวันจนถึง 21.00 น.

Translating English to Thai

Thai is written without spaces between words - spaces mark phrase or sentence boundaries instead - so segmentation has to be inferred, and a translation that inserts English-style spacing is immediately wrong. Thai is tonal with five tones, marked by a combination of tone marks, consonant class and syllable structure rather than by diacritics alone. The politeness particles ครับ and ค่ะ end sentences and differ by the speaker's gender, so a translation has to know who is speaking. Thai also has an elaborate register system, with separate vocabulary for royal, formal, and everyday speech. There is no inflection: no tense, no plurals, no articles. Thai script stacks vowel marks above and below consonants, which is why poor rendering looks garbled rather than merely misspelled.

Recommended Setup

Best model for this pair

Claude Sonnet 4.5 handles English to Thai best in our testing. Any provider you have configured will work - this is the one to pick if you have a choice.

Voice dictation

Dictation is not yet supported for English. Translating selected English text works normally.

Tips for Better Translations

1

Thai script has no spaces between words - the AI correctly segments words and the text renders properly on macOS.

2

Thai has five tones but uses a non-Latin script - tone is indicated by consonant class, vowel length, and tone marks.

3

Thai politeness particles (ครับ/ค่ะ) are gender-specific - specify the speaker's gender in your command if relevant.

4

Thai text does not use capitalization or Western punctuation conventions - the AI adapts formatting appropriately.
