Understand a video or audio in a language you don't speak: transcribe and translate

A foreign reel, an interview in English, a voice note in a language you don't speak, a lecture in German — watching isn't enough, you need to know what it's about. You don't have to reach for a separate translator: the bot first transcribes the recording into text, then translates that text into the language you need — video, audio or voice message, all in one place.

How it works: transcribe first, then translate

To understand a foreign recording, you don't need a separate translator. Send the bot a video, audio file or voice message — or just a link from one of 20+ platforms (YouTube, Instagram and others) — and it will transcribe and translate the video or audio: first it turns speech into text, then it translates that text into the language you need. All in one chat, no separate services.

What people use it for

Translation is usually the whole point: transcribing a foreign recording without translating it doesn't get you far.

13 languages, both directions

Translation works between 13 languages and both ways: understand someone else's recording in your language (say, Arabic or French audio → English text), or translate your own recording into another language. You choose the source and target languages yourself.

To get an accurate translation

Translation is built on top of the transcript — so first the recording has to be recognized correctly. If the language is tricky (a heavy accent, a dialect) or auto-detection picks the wrong language, set the recording's language manually — then both the transcript and the translation come out right. And one more thing: this is machine translation for understanding the meaning — great for grasping what a recording is about, but not a certified translation for documents.

Frequently asked questions

Which languages can I translate into?

Into one of 13 languages, both ways — understand a foreign recording in your language, or translate your own into another.

Can I translate a video from a link without downloading it?

Yes. The bot accepts links from 20+ platforms — send a link and get the text and translation.

How accurate is the translation?

The translation is built on the transcript, so first the recording needs to be recognized correctly — for a tricky accent, set the language manually. It's machine translation for understanding the meaning of a recording.

Can I translate a voice message right from a chat?

Yes — forward it to the bot, or reply to the voice message with a mention of the bot right in the chat.
