Trying to get German transcript?
Hi
I tried to upload a meeting that was recorded. The language is german so when I uploaded the mp4 file, I chose german and chose to create a transcript. I'm hoping I can then download the transcript and run it through translator and translate it to English. I would have hoped that I would be offered to auto-translate it into another language but that feature doesn't seem to be there yet
The problem is that after processing, there is no transcript available? Has German been released yet? Why ask for the language and offer German if it doesn't work?
Thanks
Bernard
- Hi boflynn,
Currently, only English and Spanish are available for auto-generated captions

With other languages currently, you actually have to upload a custom caption file. I imagine that auto-transcript will be available for other languages in the future.
Hope this answers your question!
Best, Chris

- Generate transcript on demand for a video in other languages besides English
- Upload subtitles for alternate languages
Hope that helps!
Best, Chris- Hi Chris, the linked page is not accessible any more. I'm researching, because german transcripts are more than funny - mostly an obscene compilation of arbitrary words which would probably trigger NSA surveillance if exposed to the outside. Since I'm working in an international environment, some meetings even mix languages (english, german, italian), adding additional complexity. The big question is: after being able to transcribe other languages will the transcription service also be able to autodetect the language spoken?

Best, Chris- Cool thanks - I just thought it would have rolled out by now :(
