What is Transgate?

Transgate turns audio and video files into text and translates them into other languages. You upload a recording in formats such as mp3, wav, mp4, mov or avi, choose the language, and receive a transcript or translation that you can edit and export as TXT, DOCX, PDF, SRT or VTT. The site claims 98%+ accuracy on clean audio and support for more than 50 languages, with no limit on file length. AI features include summaries with action items, smart highlights, and a chat that answers questions about a transcript with citations and timestamps. A REST API accepts an audio URL and returns a job you can poll or receive by webhook, and embeddable widgets are described. Users include meeting teams, researchers, healthcare, legal and call centers. Pricing is pay-as-you-go at $1.49/hour, Premium at $14/month for 20 hours and Business at $21/month for 40 hours, with enterprise options that add SAML/SSO and an SLA.
