ListenRobo

Typing out what someone said in a recording, then retiming it as subtitles, eats hours that content creators would rather spend editing.

ListenRobo is an AI transcription tool that turns audio and video files into text or subtitles, and it can also summarize and translate the result.

It supports 92 languages, so a single recording can end up as a transcript in one language and subtitles in another.

You upload a media file and get written text back.

If you need captions, ListenRobo can generate English subtitles online and lets you download them in several formats, which matters when different video platforms and editors expect different subtitle files.

The summarization feature gives you a shorter version of a long recording, handy for interviews, podcasts and lectures where you only need the main points.

ListenRobo also mentions privacy and security as part of the service, which is worth weighing if your recordings are sensitive.

As with any automatic speech-to-text system, plan to proofread the output before publishing, especially names and technical terms.
