University of Phayao Student Loan Fund Office Addresses Inappropriate Social Media Post

Matichon Online One source

The Student Loan Fund office at the University of Phayao has clarified that an offensive social media post was the result of a voice-to-text transcription error.

The Student Loan Fund (SLF) office at the University of Phayao recently issued a public explanation regarding an inappropriate message that appeared on its official social media channel. The post, which contained offensive language, sparked concern among the public and the university community. According to the office, the incident was not intentional but rather the result of a technical error involving voice-to-text software. Staff members reportedly attempted to use a voice command to dictate the word 'khwai' (meaning 'fast' or 'hurry' in a colloquial context), but the system incorrectly transcribed the input into a derogatory term. The office has apologized for the misunderstanding and the distress caused by the post. For residents and students, this incident highlights the risks associated with relying on automated transcription tools for official communications. While the university has provided this explanation, it remains to be confirmed if any further internal disciplinary measures or changes to social media management protocols will be implemented to prevent future occurrences. The office has since removed the post and reiterated its commitment to maintaining professional standards in its digital outreach.
