More than 60 target languages

Translate a finished transcript into English or any of more than 60 target languages from the list in the app. The source can be any of the 100 languages Hear2Text transcribes, detected automatically.

Get Started

Translated lines keep their timing

Translation works line by line, so each translated segment keeps the timing of the original line. That keeps a translation tied to the right moment of the recording, and a translated subtitle file exported from the iOS or Android app carries the same timing.

Use Cases

  • Research and interviews

    Understand a foreign-language interview, lecture or YouTube video: transcribe it, translate it into English, and find the quote you need by its timestamp.

  • Multilingual teams

    Record a meeting in one language and give colleagues a translated transcript they can read and search, with each line linked to the recording.

  • Localization drafts

    Draft a translation of your video's script as a starting point for localized captions, then have a native speaker check it before you publish.

How to translate audio to text in another language

Translation starts from a finished transcript. Transcribe first, pick the languages you need, and each translation is saved line by line with the original timing.

  1. Step 01

    Transcribe the recording

    Upload an audio or video file up to 500 MB, or paste a public YouTube, Vimeo or TikTok link. The spoken language is detected automatically.

  2. Step 02

    Choose target languages

    Open the transcript and choose a target language from the list of more than 60. On the paid plans you can add several languages to one transcript.

  3. Step 03

    AI translates each line

    AI translates the transcript segment by segment. Each translated line keeps the start and end time of the line it came from.

  4. Step 04

    Review against the audio

    Keep the translation with the transcript, and have a fluent speaker check it before you publish or rely on it.

Key Features

  • 60+ target languages

    English, Spanish, French, German, Arabic, Hindi, Japanese, Chinese and more than 50 others, all from the list in the app.

  • Line-by-line structure

    Translation follows the transcript's segments, so the translated text lines up one to one with the original lines.

  • Several languages per transcript

    Add several target languages to one transcript on the paid plans, each translated from the original, without transcribing again.

  • Automatic source language

    The source language is detected automatically during transcription, so you never have to tell Hear2Text what language the recording is in.

  • Translated files from the apps

    Web downloads (TXT, and on paid plans Word, PDF, SRT and VTT) are in the recording's language; the iOS and Android apps export the language on screen, including a translation.

  • Check against the audio

    Every translated line keeps its timestamp, so a fluent speaker can check it against the matching moment of the recording before you share the text.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many languages can I translate a transcript into?
More than 60 languages for translation, listed in the app when you choose a target language, including English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Turkish, Arabic, Hindi, Japanese and Chinese. Transcription itself covers 100 languages and detects the spoken language automatically, so you can transcribe a recording in one language and translate the transcript into another from that list.
How accurate is AI transcript translation?
It is machine translation, so check it before you use it. It reads naturally for most everyday speech, meetings and lectures, yet it can miss idioms, names, jargon and tone. It also depends on the transcript: if the audio was noisy and the transcript has errors, the translation carries them over. Have a fluent speaker check anything before you publish it or rely on it legally.
Are timestamps kept when I translate a transcript?
Yes. Translation runs segment by segment, so every translated line keeps the start and end time of the original line and stays tied to the same moment of the recording. Downloads from the web app, including SRT and VTT, are in the recording's original language; the iOS and Android apps export the language on screen, so a translated subtitle file keeps those timings.
Can I translate one transcript into several languages?
Yes. On the Monthly and Yearly plans you can add several target languages to the same transcript, for example English, Spanish and German for one interview. Each language is translated from the original transcript, not from another translation, and each one keeps the original line timing. You do not need to upload or transcribe the recording again for every language you add.
Can I download translated subtitles as SRT or VTT?
Yes, in the iOS and Android apps: open the translation, then export SRT or VTT, both on the paid plans. The translation is saved with the transcript line by line, so each cue keeps its original timing. Downloads from the web app are in the recording's original language.
Is translation included in the free plan or the subscription?
Yes, on the paid plans. Translation is included in the Monthly plan at $9.99 and the Yearly plan at $89.99, with no per-word or per-language fee on top. It is not part of the free plan, which gives you 120 transcription minutes every week with TXT export. You can transcribe for free first and upgrade when you need the translation.

Translate your next recording

Upload a recording or paste a public link, get the transcript, then translate it into English or any of more than 60 languages on the Monthly or Yearly plan. The free plan lets you try transcription first.
