How to: Automatically Translate Audio Recordings

Overview

The Audio “Translation” feature utilizes advanced machine learning algorithms to accurately translate spoken words in audio/video recordings. The intuitive interface allows users to select the source and target languages, making the translation process seamless and user-friendly. Within CaseGuard, you can automatically translate your transcribed audio into 74 languages.

This feature is especially useful for users working with multilingual individuals, whether in educational, legal, or investigative settings. For example, interviews conducted in Spanish can be translated into English in just minutes, without any manual translation work.

How to translate audio

• On the transcriptions settings window:
  • Select the language the audio is spoken in (if different from English)
  • Select the number of speakers.
• On the translation settings window:
  • choose the language you would like to translate to in the “translate spoken language to” dropdown.
  • Then click apply to run processing.

Second method: Translate from the Translation Panel

You can also translate your file directly from the Translation Panel, even if you have not already transcribed it using AI Audio.

After transcription settings are configured, the Translation Settings window will appear:

• Select the Target Language in the dropdown.

• Click Translate.

• Once processed, the translation of your transcription will appear in the Translation Panel.

• Under each Translated sentence, you can:
  • “Mute”
  • “Bleep”
  • “Change Voice” 
  • “Edit the translation”
• At the bottom of the panel you have the options for:
  • Automatic Translation: Translate into another language
  • Manual Translation: Add your own translation
  • Delete Translation: Delete the entire translation
  • Add Sentence: Edit a sentence within the translation
  • Burn Captions to File: Attach translation inside the video
  • Increase/decrease font size within the Panel
