What Makes This API Special

40+ Target Languages

Translate transcripts into Spanish, French, German, Arabic, Chinese, Hindi, Japanese, and 35+ more using industry-grade AI translation.

Timestamps Preserved

Every translated segment retains its original start offset and duration — timestamps survive the translation process intact.

Segment-Level Output

Receive a segment array with individual translated chunks, not just a wall of text. Perfect for syncing to subtitles or building reading aids.

Auto Language Detection

The source language is detected automatically. You only need to specify the target language you want the translation in.

AI Translation Quality

Context-aware translation that understands spoken language nuances — far more accurate than word-for-word machine translation.

Per-Minute Pricing

Billed at 30 credits per minute of video transcript. A 5-minute video costs 150 credits. Short clips are affordable to translate at scale.

How is the cost calculated?

Translation is billed at 30 credits per minute of the original transcript. A 10-minute video costs 300 credits.

How long does translation take?

Typically 5–20 seconds for videos under 10 minutes. Longer videos may take up to a minute depending on segment count.

Are timestamps preserved in the translation?
