OpenThai 2.0 ASR Streaming, which we released this week, writes Thai speech down while people are still talking. This guide shows how to run it on your own computer: install it, transcribe a recording, and get live captions from a microphone. Your audio never leaves your machine.
Today we are releasing OpenThai 2.0 ASR Streaming, an open-weight model that writes Thai speech down while people are still talking. Text arrives 80 to 1120 ms behind the voice, from one model with four latency settings. It has 0.64 billion parameters, runs on one GPU or on a CPU, and is free to download under the OpenMDW-1.1 licence. It is the model behind our hosted live service, OpenThai ASR Realtime.

Thai speech to text now comes as two products. Chinda ASR Pro v2 transcribes recordings and labels every speaker; OpenThai ASR Realtime writes Thai speech down while people are still talking. In round 3 of Korakot Chaovavanich's comparison of 25 Thai speech-to-text models, published on 9 November 2026, Pro v2 placed third, in a statistical tie with the first. Pro v2 is free until 30 November 2026, and Realtime is free during the launch.
On 27 October 2026 iApp Technology released three changes: a new API for checking Thai companies, monthly plans for face verification and passive liveness, and a lower price for Chinda TTS text-to-speech with ten new voices. It also recaps the licence plate price cut and the Gate plans that started on 20 October.
On 20 October 2026 iApp Technology lowered the price of licence plate recognition from 0.75 IC to 0.25 IC an image. For systems that read plates every day, three monthly Gate plans are also available. The endpoints, requests and responses do not change.
On 17 October 2026 iApp Technology updated its Terms and Conditions. The update corrects clauses that did not reflect how our APIs are sold and used. Prices, credits and API contracts do not change.
