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) โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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.
