upload it to AI, I uploaded a Chinese message written with pencil on paper that someone wrote to me that is over a decade old, it was starting to fade. I used a scanner and chatgpt was able to read the Chinese characters and translate to it. 100% perfect. I was amazed. I'm glad I held that message all these years.

To add to the intrigue, he talks about his parents (or grandparents) being lied to in order to get them on the ships from India to Fiji. He talks about the cannibalism of native fijians. He talks about a time he spoke out against the government of Fiji just before leaving (bravely). At one point, he recieved a letter from the Queen of Elizabeth for his work in Fiji organizing resources and building roads (without pay).

So, i tried 2 things. I uploaded handwritten kannada script to chat gpt and it lied about what it read several times. I uploaded the audio I spoke of to another site and it did catch some things... but not 50% of it, and likely not accurately.

These 2 languages (sanskrit in kannada script and fiji-hindi) are too obscure. The models are not trained on it. They require a human interpreter.

Probably because it doesn't have enough data from others doing the same thing you are doing so it's guessing. Keep trying every year until someday it will have enough data and get it right. The more data we feed it, the smarter it gets.

Yeah. I'm think I'm done waiting though. Gotta find an honest translator.

I would think you should be able to do this now with AI

See the discussion below (or above?) ... It's just not there yet.

Found one. You were right.
