TRANSLATE AND EXPORT • Translate a transcript into 24 languages • Export as PDF, Word, TXT, SRT or VTT, including subtitle files • Share a transcript, or keep it in a shared workspace with your team IN YOUR LANGUAGE Hear2Text's own interface is available in 22 languages. FOR MEETINGS, CLASSES AND INTERVIEWS A meeting transcript gives you a written record to revisit after the conversation. Check the wording of a decision, listen again to a discussion or ask about the tasks mentioned. Keep the recording and the transcript together as you review the details. Studying from a lecture? Read through the explanation, then tap the relevant line when you want to hear it again. A transcript can help you work through material at your own pace and compare your notes with what was said in class. For interviews and research, check a quotation against the original audio before using it. Speaker labels help you follow questions and answers, while manual editing lets you correct names or specialist terms. Timestamps stay in place as you make those changes. If you create videos or podcasts, turn spoken material into a written draft you can review before publication. Export subtitles for use in your video workflow, or share a text version with someone reviewing the content. ASK A SPECIFIC QUESTION What deadline was discussed? Which points did the speaker make about a particular topic? Instead of asking about the whole recording, focus your question on the information you need. AI answers use the transcript as their source, and you can return to the audio to check the context. CHOOSE THE RIGHT FILE FORMAT Use PDF for a document you want to read or share, Word when you plan to keep editing, and TXT when you need plain text. SRT and VTT contain subtitle text and timing information for use with compatible video tools. Choose the format that fits your next step rather than retyping the same material. Working with colleagues who speak another language? Translate the transcript, then share the text for them to read. The recording language and the app's interface language do not have to match. BEFORE YOU SHARE Check the names and figures against the recording. If a passage needs clarification, listen to it in context and adjust the wording before sending the document. Use an exported Word file to prepare a report or article. A written transcript is also useful when you cannot play audio: read the conversation first and return to the recording later.
