Automatic language detection handles the recording. Your selected language is translated automatically after transcription. Review the original and translation together. Video translation produces text and subtitles; it does not create a dubbed video.

Translate into English and export
The English translation is generated automatically with your transcript. Compare it with the original and download TXT, SRT, or VTT directly. Sign in to save the task and access account export formats.
Make the translation useful
Cantonese video can combine spoken Cantonese with formal written Chinese captions. This workflow follows the spoken audio, so the generated transcript may differ from existing subtitles on screen. Use that difference to review the source instead of silently replacing colloquial meaning with a written paraphrase. English captions should carry the speaker’s intention and fit the scene, with local names and English code-switching checked for consistent spelling.
What to check in your recording
- Compare spoken Cantonese with embedded captions without assuming they match.
- Review idioms and tone in the scene where they are spoken.
A language-pair example
Original wording · Cantonese
我哋聽朝十點再傾。
Translated wording · English
We will talk again tomorrow morning at ten.
Illustrative wording, not a result from an uploaded recording. Actual output depends on the audio and context.
Choose your output
Export SRT or VTT to import translated captions into a video editor. Review reading speed, line breaks, and the timing around scene changes before publishing. TXT is also available directly; account users can additionally export DOCX, PDF, or CSV for a script or handout. Subtitle export does not burn captions into the video.
Ways to use the translated text
- English captions for Cantonese interviews
- Translated Hong Kong training recordings
- English scripts from Cantonese talks
Supported file formats
3GP, MKV, MOV, MP4, MPG, TS, WEBM, WMV
Before you upload
What should I review when translating Cantonese video into English?
Watch the spoken exchange when choosing English wording for a joke, reassurance, or brief instruction. Existing Chinese captions may summarize rather than reproduce speech, and they are not OCR input to this tool. Verify local names and preview English caption length when the original exchange is fast.
Can I keep the Cantonese transcript as well?
Yes. The original transcript remains available in the task alongside the translation. Check it against the recording, correct errors, and select the original or translated version when exporting. A translation should not be treated as a word-for-word record of what the speaker said.
Does this translate the video’s speech or text shown on screen?
This workflow transcribes the spoken audio in an uploaded video. It does not perform OCR on slides, signs, or embedded captions, and it does not replace the spoken voice. Add any important on-screen spelling when you review the original transcript.
Do I need an account, and is translation free?
Try one task a day without signing in, with up to 30 minutes per recording and 120 minutes a month. The selected translation is included. A free account allows 3 tasks a day and saves your results; guest usage is carried over.
Which export formats are available?
Guest results can be downloaded as TXT, SRT, or VTT. Sign in for DOCX, PDF, and CSV exports. SRT and VTT preserve segment timings for subtitles. Check terminology and subtitle readability before sharing the translated result.
