How to Use Vocol’s Translation Feature

The translation feature in Vocol.ai is a game-changer, not only for learning but also for the workplace. In part 5 of this tutorial series, we will show you how easy it is to use the translation feature in Vocol.ai.

How to Use Vocol’s Translation Feature

First, you can start by uploading your file to the media library in Vocol.ai. If the file that you want to translate has already been recorded or uploaded, just navigate to Files within the console and click on the file title.

Once the clip opens up, you will see an "Original" tab in the Transcript panel. This indicates the original language of the audio recording. To translate this transcript, click on the "Translate" button located in the top right corner of the panel.

A menu will appear where you can choose from more than 25 languages, such as Arabic, French, Korean, Spanish, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, etc. However, the translation can only be done one language at a time.

Once the translation has been initiated, you can continue to work on other tasks as the translation process will be performed in the background.

Viewing and Downloading Translated Transcripts

When the translation is complete, you will receive an email notification. To access the translated version of the transcript, simply log in to the Vocol console, navigate to the file and click on it. Now, you will see an additional tab in the Transcript panel. Click on the tab and you will be able to view the translated version.

If desired, you can continue to translate the transcript into other languages.

To download the translated transcript, click on the download button in the top right corner (the one with an arrow pointing down) and choose your desired format.

While Vocol.ai doesn't allow you to edit the translated version of the transcript, you can double-click on the text to add comments, tag your team members or create an action item for further follow-up.
