Hello

I am wondering if it is possible to have all speech on a video automatically transcribed into e.g. a Word-file? A client has asked me for the translation of 45 minutes of video; they don't need subtitling, just the translation, so that their HQ abroad is able to understand what is being said. I have only access to the video online (from a broadcaster).

The source is Danish/English, the target French.

Otherwise, I will just have to transcribe everything before translating it.

Looks like this software does not automatically transcribe the text for you, you still have to type it yourself.

I've used it once for a client, but I don't know how uploading works, if you need a paid account etc. as I was just provided the link to the already uploaded video.
It transcribes spoken content into subtitles and you can translate them directly side-by-side. The transcript is not perfect but acceptable if you just need it for the translation.

Some AI tools are reportedly able to do this for you. I can't name any from the top of my head, I have this information in my private PC. I check this evening or tomorrow.

This is excellent - but that only means it gets 90-95% of the speech correctly. If you're expected to provide a correct transcription, you still need to check the text against the audio and edit it (may be a lot of work depending on audio quality).

I have tried Turboscribe. It worked fine for me. You can use it for free to a limited extent (quite big though, three transcripts a day).
Also Subtitle Edit can do that for free either but it is not that intuitive as Turboscribe and it would take time to learn the program.
