TwoTranscribe
Translate a recording into text in another language
Read a recorded conversation in another language while keeping the source transcript for reference. Select the spoken language and the translation language separately when you upload.
Guides for specific language pairs
Choose your spoken and translation languages in the workspace. The current choices are listed in the specifications below.
Working with your transcript
Spanish audio to English text
Upload a Spanish recording, select Spanish as the spoken language and English as the translation language. You receive the Spanish transcript and a separate English text to read, check and download.
Dutch audio to English text
Make a Dutch interview, meeting or talk readable in English. Upload the recording with Dutch as the spoken language and English as the translation language, then keep both text versions.
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.
French audio to English text
Read a French conversation or presentation in English. Choose French as the spoken language and English as the translation language to receive a source transcript and a separate translated text.
Audio to text
Review the general audio-to-text workflow, supported files and downloads.
Choose the spoken language and the text you need
The language of this page is English. Your recording may be in another language, and your translated text can be in a third. In the workspace, set the spoken language to match the file and choose the required output under optional translation. The language-pair guides below explain specific routes.
Check the source before using the translation
TwoTranscribe first transcribes the speech and then translates that text. A missed word or incorrect number can carry over into the translation. Read the source transcript beside the translated version and check names, conditions and dates against the audio.
Keep both versions for your work
Download the original and the completed translation separately as TXT, PDF or Word. With speaker recognition enabled, both retain the segment labels and times. Editing one version does not automatically change the other. This workflow produces written text.
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.
