Audio Translator — Transcribe + Translate in 133 Languages

VexaScribe (formerly NovaScribe) combines two AI models in one workflow. Step 1: OpenAI's Whisper Large-v3 transcribes your audio into text in the original spoken language (99 languages supported, with automatic detection). Step 2: Google Translate translates the resulting transcript into your target language (133 languages available). Both happen automatically — you upload once, get both versions in your dashboard within 5-10 minutes for a one-hour file.

VexaScribe translates transcripts into 133 languages using Google Translate. This includes all 99 languages we transcribe plus 34 additional translation-only languages — Welsh, Bengali, Punjabi, Tamil, Urdu, Albanian, Armenian, Esperanto, Hawaiian, Khmer, Lao, Latin, Macedonian, and many more.

Yes. Translation is included on every paid plan at no extra cost — Starter ($2/month), Basic ($5/month), Pro ($10/month), and Studio ($20/month) all include unlimited translation. The 30-minute free trial also includes translation. There's no separate translation account, no API key, no usage-based fees.

Yes. You can translate from any of the 99 transcription languages to any of the 133 translation languages. Common pairs (Spanish to English, English to French, German to Italian) work very well because Google Translate has been trained on these for over 15 years. Less common pairs (Khmer to Welsh, for example) have lower fluency.

Translation quality depends on the language pair and the content type. Major Western European languages (Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese) translate to and from English at very high quality. Asian languages (Japanese, Korean, Chinese) and Arabic perform well. Less common pairs and technical content with industry jargon may need human review. VexaScribe doesn't claim to improve on Google Translate's output — our value is eliminating the copy-paste workflow and the second-tool subscription.

Yes. Translated transcripts can be exported as SRT or VTT subtitle files with the original word-level timestamps preserved. Upload a Spanish video, transcribe to a Spanish SRT, then export an English translated SRT for the same video — both files have correctly synced timestamps. Perfect for international YouTube uploads.

Yes. Speaker labels (Speaker 1, Speaker 2, or your custom names) are preserved through translation. If you rename speakers in the original transcript, those names appear in the translated version too. Useful for multilingual interviews where you need consistent speaker attribution across language versions.

Transcription converts spoken audio into text in the same language — a Spanish recording becomes Spanish text. Translation converts text from one language to another — Spanish text becomes English text. VexaScribe does both: transcribe Spanish audio to Spanish text, then translate that Spanish text to English (or any of 132 other languages).

You can. The downside: you have to transcribe in tool A, copy-paste the transcript into Google Translate, paste back into your subtitle tool, and rebuild timestamps manually. With VexaScribe, it's one upload and the entire workflow happens automatically — speaker labels and timestamps preserved through translation, exportable as SRT directly. If you do this once a year, the manual workflow is fine. If you do it weekly, VexaScribe saves hours.

Yes. The built-in editor shows the original-language transcript and the translated transcript side-by-side. You can edit either version, add corrections, fix machine-translation errors, or refine wording. Both versions update independently so you can preserve the accurate original while polishing the translation.

Yes. As of July 2026, VexaScribe accepts YouTube, TikTok, Instagram Reel, and direct audio/video URLs — no download step. Paste a Spanish YouTube video URL, transcribe to Spanish, translate the transcript to English, then export the English SRT. Ideal for creators making international captions from other people's videos (within copyright fair-use limits) or from their own multilingual back catalog. The URL step happens on our side; no software to install.
