Maybe you're a researcher sharing an interview with a stakeholder who doesn't speak the same language. Or you're a legal team translating a witness statement for co-counsel. Or you're an educator making a lecture accessible to international students.
Reduct can translate the recording into 90+ languages in seconds. Here's how you can do it in three simple steps.
Step 1: Import your Zoom recordings to Reduct
Upload your Zoom recordings from your computer or directly import them from Zoom. Reduct supports various video formats, including mp4, mp3, mov, wav, and aac.
After uploading the recording, you'll see the automatically generated transcript.
If you want to transcribe your meeting in real time, just paste your Zoom meeting URL and click the Invite bot button.
Step 2: Select the target language for translation
Once you have the transcript, click the Translations button and select New Translation. Now, choose the language of your choice.
You'll be able to switch to the language you selected once the translation is complete.
Step 3: Change the transcript's language to the translated language
Click the Translations button and select the language you used for the translation.
You can also view the translations side by side, with the original language of the recording on the left and the translated text on the right.
Reduct lets you download the transcripts for easy sharing.
Before you share a translation
A few things to know before you share a translation externally:
- Translation quality depends on the source transcript. Clean up names, terms, and speaker labels first, since errors carry into every language.
- Switching the active language doesn't delete other versions. Toggle back to the original or add another translation anytime.
- Use side-by-side view to catch anything that doesn't read naturally, checked against the source line by line.
