How it works

How to translate a video with Simple Scribe

Two steps on purpose: speech to text, then translation. That is how “AI video translator” stays accurate.

1

Transcribe the video

Upload a file or paste a YouTube URL. You need a transcript before translation.

2

Translate the transcript

Pick a language in the workspace. Plan limits apply. This is translate video transcript, not live burned-in subtitles on the free plan.

3

Dub on paid plans

Paid plans include dubbing minutes for spoken output. This is not a free Hollywood-quality dub from one click.

Translation

AI video translation of the words, not a magic overlay

We translate the transcript. You still review it. Dubbing is a paid add-on, not the free default.

If you only needed English text from an English video, use the video to text converter. This page is for people who searched AI video translator / translate video transcript.

What this AI video translator actually does

Honest workflow: transcribe, translate, optional dub. No claim of joining Zoom or overlaying live translation.

Translate video transcript

After transcription, translate into other languages in the workspace.

Keep timestamps

You can still jump the original video while reading a translated line.

Dubbing on paid plans

Spoken output uses dubbing minutes. Free plans are transcript translation.

YouTube or file

Same import as other tools. Translation is the differentiator, not the importer.

Who needs an AI video translator

Learners watching a talk in another language, teams sharing an interview, creators localizing a transcript.

Live translators vs this workflow

We do not join meetings or overlay live captions on a call. We transcribe a file or YouTube URL, then translate.

Translate the transcript, then decide on dubbing

Start with transcription. Translation is a second action in the workspace.

Upload or paste at the top. When the transcript is ready, translate. For English-only video to text, use the converter. For YouTube-only English transcripts, use the generator.
