TwoTranscribe
Translate German audio to English text
Upload German speech and receive an English text translation alongside the original German transcript. Use both versions to review an interview, business conversation or recorded presentation.
Follow a German recording in English
Set German as the spoken language and English as the translation language. TwoTranscribe transcribes the German audio before translating that text. You can read and download the two versions separately rather than losing the source wording.
Review technical nouns and qualified statements
Long compound nouns, product names and technical abbreviations can be difficult to recognise. German sentence structure can also place a qualification late in a sentence. Check the whole passage, including words such as “voraussichtlich”, before treating an English statement as a firm commitment.
Use an editable text result
Choose DOCX to review the text in Word, TXT for another text workflow or PDF to read it. Enable speaker recognition when you need to separate contributions. The English page remains English even though German is the audio source. The result is written text; the source transcript stays available if the requested translation fails.
From upload to download
Upload your file
Open the workspace, choose your recording and select its spoken language. Set an optional translation language separately and enable speaker recognition if useful.
Review the cost
Check trial availability and the price for the remaining recording. You can pay once without an account. To use tokens, log in with enough balance.
Start processing
Confirm full processing through the payment or token route shown. Follow progress in the workspace; processing time depends on your recording and the queue.
Review and download
Check important passages, then download TXT, PDF or DOCX. A completed translation is a separate result from the source transcript.

For a one-off payment, pay €0.15 per remaining minute, with a minimum payment of €1.95 whenever there is a paid remainder. We calculate per second and round the final amount to cents. Speaker recognition and one optional translation are included in this rate.
A 60-minute recording costs €8.25 with an available 5-minute trial, or €9.00 without a trial. Your exact recording price is shown before payment; check the final total at checkout.
Prefer to use tokens?

The workspace shows the exact balance needed after upload. A token purchase creates an account. This payment route is separate from the one-off recording price above.

Frequently asked questions
Should this page be set to German?
The page is written in English for visitors who want English text. German is selected as the recording’s spoken language, independently of the page language.
How do I check technical German terminology?
Keep the original transcript, compare the relevant passage with the audio and use your own technical reference material to review both versions. Unusual compounds and abbreviations need particular attention.
Can I download a German and an English Word file?
Yes. DOCX export is available for the original transcript and for the completed translation. PDF and TXT are also available.
Does German audio become an English voice recording?
No. This route returns a German transcript and an English text translation. It does not replace the recorded voice or dub a video.
