Editable, subtitle-only translations
It’s estimated that roughly 70% of viewers prefer to watch videos with subtitles, so we're expanding our AI translation features to include editable subtitle translations. Effortlessly generate subtitles in 36 languages with our best in class technology, then share with a human friend or team member to review and edit for any adjustments.
Custom terms and phrases
Tired of AI misinterpreting industry-specific jargon or brand names? Want to avoid culture faux pas and ensure your brand remains untarnished? Our new custom vocabulary feature puts you in control. You can now add unique words and phrases relevant to your content right to your transcript, ensuring that any transcriptions are more accurate from the start. Accurate, customized transcripts significantly reduce the need for extensive manual edits and improve the likelihood that a word is transcribed correctly within subtitles. Save terms within custom dictionaries at your account level to ensure they’re automatically applied to future video uploads.
A flexible, transparent, pay-as-you-go structure
Not only does our instant and low-cost AI translation tool save creators significant time and money in comparison to full human translator services that take weeks to deliver and cost thousands of dollars, but we’ve made it easier to leverage our video translation features with a credit-based system. This allows for flexible, pay-as-you-go pricing, enabling customers to consume as much as they need when they need it, and scale localization without significant upfront investment. Plus, our users still get the option of human review with our editable subtitle transcripts!
An updated user interface to manage multiple translations at once
In our efforts to make language comprehension a breeze, we thought why not also make your workflow easier? That’s why we combined our transcription and translation tools to live in one place, and made it so users can translate a single video into multiple languages at a time — with just one click. Vimeo AI supports AI dubbing so you can automatically dub your online videos into 29+ languages with AI translation software.
We're also committed to providing a seamless workflow from upload to global distribution. How? All captions and translations carry through to our embeddable player within a single link, meaning you can send one single link to clients — who can then send that same link to colleagues that speak the local language — to check for accuracy and make edits as needed.
This link would then be the same exact link that gets shared with your final audience! Meet viewers anywhere and give them individual choice over language preference, without the stress of choosing among links.
Vimeo’s commitment to authenticity and accessibility
While our AI translation tools help creators connect with viewers in their native language to improve productivity and engagement, they also foster a more inclusive viewing experience by allowing viewers to consume content in their preferred language. This breaks down language barriers and fosters stronger connections between video maker and video viewer.
Democratizing video is a core tenant of Vimeo’s beliefs, and we believe translations will help us achieve those goals:
"We believe that AI can enhance all elements of our community’s process, from creation, to management, to sharing of video."
We also strongly believe in keeping humans involved in every sense of the video creation and editing process, which is why our subtitle feature comes with human-review capabilities.
