Transcription, subtitles and dubbing
Maestra transcribes, then subtitles, then dubs into another language with a synthetic voice, and keeps all three views of the same file in one editor. Working across 125 languages is what it sells, and the dubbing is the part that has no cheap equivalent. Minutes are the unit of billing, so a long back catalogue is a budgeting exercise.
Transcription built for newsrooms
Trint transcribes and translates at newsroom scale, with live transcription from a phone, shared drives for a team and an editor that keeps text locked to audio while several people work in the same file. It is the dearest thing in this category by a distance. What that buys is unlimited volume under a fair-use cap, 50 languages in and 70 out.
Our note
This is the top of the market and priced like it. Unless several people are editing the same transcript, or the deadline is measured in minutes, Sonix or TurboScribe do the transcription for a fraction of the money.
