Questions, answered plainly
- How many languages does Subanana support?
- 97 language options for transcription: 94 languages, plus Chinese three ways, which are Cantonese (Hong Kong), Traditional Chinese (Taiwan) and Simplified Chinese (China). The same 97 are translation targets, along with English (US) and English (UK).
- Does it handle Cantonese?
- Yes. Spoken Cantonese can come out in four writing systems: colloquial Cantonese (口語) or standard written Chinese (書面語), each in Traditional or Simplified characters. The conversion runs from spoken to written, not the other way.
- What if a recording mixes languages?
- Paid plans have a Multiple-languages mode in Enhanced, which handles speakers switching between languages in one file: up to 10 languages per file, at 1.5 times the credits. A file uploaded as a single language is transcribed as that language.
- Can I translate into another language?
- Yes, into any language in the list. A subtitle project can translate into several languages at once; a transcript or meeting project into one. The Free plan allows up to three translation languages.
- Which formats can I export?
- SRT, VTT, TXT, DOCX, XLSX, Markdown and FCPXML, plus bilingual SRT and video with the subtitles burned in. Export is on paid plans. On Free you can transcribe the first 15 minutes of each file, preview the result and download a watermarked 15-second clip at 720p.
- Does the language change the price?
- No. Every language costs the same. Paid plans start at $9 a month in US dollars, billed yearly, on Lite. See every plan and price
