Overview

Simon Says transcribes, captions, translates, and subtitles audio and video files. It attaches transcript markers to clips for finding soundbites and supports assembly of rough cuts from transcript text. Integration occurs directly within editors like Adobe Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer, Final Cut Pro X, and DaVinci Resolve. Transcription covers 100+ languages and handles files up to 4 hours. On-premise option runs offline for data security. Results export as text, captions, or sequence-compatible subtitles.

Core Strengths:

  • Transcribes audio and video files into searchable text.
  • Generates subtitles and captions with synchronized timing.
  • Translates transcripts into 100+ languages.
  • Supports speaker identification for multi-speaker content.
  • Exports to Word, Premiere Pro, Resolve, FCPX, and Avid formats.
  • Includes a visual subtitle and transcript editor.

How It Works:

  • Upload your audio or video file via web interface.
  • Choose transcription and optionally translation or subtitling.
  • The AI processes and creates a timecoded transcript.
  • Use the visual editor to review, correct, and annotate.
  • Export the final files to text and subtitle formats or into video-editing software.
  • Options support multiple languages and file types.
