## What is Canto AI?

Canto AI is an AI transcription and video-caption tool built for Cantonese.

[Paste a link, get text]
Paste a YouTube or Facebook link (including Reels) — no sign-in, no download. AI transcribes it into a Cantonese transcript right away. Long videos are auto-split and stream results as they go.

[AI Cantonese transcription]
Upload video / audio or record live and auto-transcribe. It tells speakers apart with voice matching and handles mixed languages.

[AI summary, your format]
One tap after transcribing — highlights, paragraph, bullet points, Q&A, meeting minutes or an action list, with optional special requests.

[AI Voice (text-to-speech)]
Eight natural voices - Cantonese, Mandarin, Taiwanese Mandarin and English. Type text and get audio instantly, with adjustable speed. Read summaries aloud, or add AI voice-over narration in the studio and export it with your video.

[Video Caption Studio]
One-tap AI captions with pro templates, fancy text and animations; edit line-by-line and word-by-word, with multi-layer captions, multi-track editing and free transform. Plus AI style design, AI scene-based music and AI highlight cuts. Captions and effects are burned in — export MP4 / SRT / VTT.

[Live-translate while watching]
Pick a foreign-language video and watch it with the original and translated captions overlaid in real time.

Privacy: videos being processed stay on your device; only the extracted audio is sent for transcription.

New in-app support: report an issue or ask a question right inside the app, attach screenshots, and get our reply in the same conversation.

Fixes for purchase and credit syncing.
