Questions
Translating audio: questions
Anything else? The help centre covers uploads, languages and exports.
How many languages can I translate between?
100. The spoken language is detected automatically or chosen by you, and you can translate into any of the same 100 languages.
Do I keep the original transcript?
Yes. The translation is a new version next to the original, line by line, so you can compare them any time.
What does it cost?
Translating a recording counts its minutes of audio: $3 an hour, or part of a plan. The translation and exports are included.
Can I hear the translation?
Yes. Create a voiceover from the translated text and download it as an MP3. Voiceover counts the seconds of speech it creates.
Is it a live interpreter?
For recordings, no: it translates audio you upload or record. For a live exchange, use Talk, where each person speaks and reads in their own language.
Which files can I translate?
MP3, M4A, WAV, MP4, WebM and OGG, plus AAC and FLAC, up to 2 GB per file. From a video, the audio track is translated.
