Translate audio, subtitles, and transcripts
You don’t need a whole team of translators to localize your content for global reach. With Kapwing, you can generate subtitles for your video, translate them into your desired language, and choose your favorite voice to bring them to life—each step takes just one click. You can also auto-translate transcripts to share everywhere you publish your video.
Use humanlike voices to translate audio
It’s nearly impossible to record a script perfectly. We all stumble, falter, and re-record. So, why not let AI do the work? Kapwing offers over 50 super-realistic voices so you can turn your script into audio in seconds. Or, try our voice cloning feature and upload a sample of your own voice. (No one needs to know you didn’t spend hours in the recording studio.)
Over 75 languages to choose from
Ready to grow your audience across new demographics and geographical regions? Don’t let anything stop you. With Kapwing, you’ve got the power to translate your audio, video, and written content into international languages like Spanish, Arabic, Mandarin, and 20+ more. For each language, there are multiple premium AI voices to choose from so your messaging is always on-brand.
"Kapwing is incredibly intuitive. Many of our marketers were able to get on the platform and use it right away with little to no instruction. No need for downloads or installations—it just works."

Instantly remove background noise from audio
Background noise really deflates the quality of your content, making it harder for your audience to pay attention. Try Kapwing’s one-click background removal tool. It scrubs your audio squeaky clean.

How to Translate Audio
- Upload audio
Upload your audio file to Kapwing. Kapwing’s audio translator can translate multiple types of files, including MP3, WAV, AAC, M4A, and more. You can also record audio directly inside the studio, or upload a video file — the audio language translator will work on those too.
- Translate audio
To translate audio to English (or more than 60 other languages), select your audio file and click “Subtitles” on the left sidebar. Choose the original language the audio was recorded in, as well as the language you’d like to translate to. Click “Auto Subtitle.” You can then make edits and even create a video by arranging the subtitles and adding images or video clips.
- Download and share
When you’re done using the voice to text translator, you have several options. You can download the transcription as an SRT, VTT, or TXT file, which you can then use as a reference or upload to other platforms. If you created a video with subtitles, you can export an MP4 file to download, or share the link to your project.
