Speech to text only supports one language?

LIANNA

Hello everyone, does Videopad Speech To Text only support one language? thanks

Tested Parlez Vous Francais speech-to-text in the English version and VP did not understand it. Based on that quick look, the answer appears to be no. The Auto Generate feature of the subtitle editor works similarly. Perhaps VP recognizes the language of the country version in use?

The result is one long line unless the audio track is split and s-to-t is applied to each clip individually. Then the text clips can be modified in the text editor or via effects.

What do you intend to do with the text?

Check out this utility (or similar) which has a number of output options that work well with Videopad.

Thank you very much for your reply. I just want to synchronize the subtitles with the recording, and not just in English. But you said that Videopad doesn't have this function, so I can only think of other ways. AI translation may be able to help. Thank you.

It doesn't appear to understand other than the language of the installed version, based on that very limited French test.

Synchronizing may be best accomplished with a utility like the one linked above. The resulting subtitle file (in a number of formats) can work well with Videopad.

Ok, I'll try what you said, thank you very much.
