Chinese Audio That Needs to Be Read in English
Recorded calls with manufacturers in China become English notes on prices, deadlines and specs, with the Chinese line kept for anything you need to confirm.
Conversations with Mandarin or Cantonese speakers, from family history to research interviews, become English text you can quote and share.
Product videos, webinars and stream recordings in Chinese turn into English text for market research, without waiting for a human translator.
Chinese to English: What the Translation Has to Solve
Chinese leaves out things English needs. The translation fills them in from context, so these are the places to read carefully.
- Mandarin or Cantonese
- Two separate spoken-language options: pick Cantonese for Hong Kong and Guangdong recordings
- Tense
- Chinese verbs don’t mark past or future, so “did”, “does” or “will” come from context words like 昨天 or 明天
- Plural and articles
- There is no “a”, “the” or plural ending; the English adds them where the sentence needs them
- Big numbers
- 万 is ten thousand: 3万 is 30,000 and 1亿 is 100 million, a common place for slips when reading quickly
- Names
- Surname first: 王磊 is Wang Lei; save names in My terms so they are written the same way every time
- Transcript
- The Chinese is written in characters, without pinyin
- Output
- Chinese and English with the same timestamps, exported as separate files
Get the Chinese Right Before You Translate

Language
Don’t mix up Mandarin and Cantonese
Auto-detect may label Cantonese speech as Chinese. If the speakers use Cantonese, choose it yourself before you upload.
Names and brands
Add them to My terms
Many names sound like common words. A saved spelling fixes the characters in the transcript and the romanised name in the English.
Numbers
Double-check money and quantities
Before you act on a figure from a call, compare the English number with the Chinese line next to it.
