Why translate the transcript instead of the video?

A translated transcript is searchable, easy to quote and simple to save. You can read at your own pace, compare phrasing with the original and keep subtitle timing for your own video projects.

Translation quality

AI translation is strongest for widely spoken languages and clear speech. Names, slang and technical terms can be translated imperfectly, and automatic captions can carry their own errors into the translation. Review anything you plan to publish.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How many languages can I translate a transcript into?

130+ languages, from Spanish, Hindi and Arabic to Indonesian, Swahili and Vietnamese.

Does the translation keep the timestamps?

Yes. Each caption line is translated individually and keeps its original timing, so translated SRT and VTT files stay in sync.

Is translation free?

Yes, with fair-use daily limits. Long videos are translated in parts, and translations that were already made load instantly.

Can I see the original and the translation together?

Yes. Choose “Both” to show each original line with its translation underneath.
