German Recordings Teams Translate to English
A Teams or Zoom recording in German becomes English minutes for the rest of the company, with each point traceable to the German sentence it came from.
Recorded conversations with engineers, suppliers or researchers turn into English text you can quote, with the German terms kept for accuracy.
German-language training sessions and voice instructions become English documents for colleagues who don’t speak German yet.
German to English: Where Translation Has Work to Do
German builds sentences differently from English. This is what the translation handles, and where to look twice.
- Word order
- The verb often comes at the end of the clause, so each line is translated as a whole sentence, not word by word
- Compound nouns
- Long words like Datenschutzgrundverordnung are split into English phrases or known terms such as GDPR
- Numbers
- 1.500 in German is 1,500 in English and 2,5 is 2.5: the separators swap
- Sie and du
- Both become “you”, so the switch to first-name terms is not visible in English
- Swiss German
- Spoken dialect is transcribed as Standard German text; heavy dialect is harder to recognise than High German
- Technical vocabulary
- Product names and in-house terms saved in My terms stay as written in both languages
- Output
- German and English kept apart, each exportable as TXT, DOCX, PDF, SRT or VTT
Before Uploading German Audio
What makes the difference between a usable and a polished English text.
Dialect
Expect more fixes with strong dialect
Bavarian, Swabian or Swiss German speakers are recognised best when they speak closer to Standard German. Budget a little review time for strong dialect.
Terms
Save company and product terms
German companies use English and German terms side by side. Add the ones that matter to My terms so neither the transcript nor the translation guesses.
Speakers
Label everyone in meetings
Turn on speaker labels and set how many people talk, from 2 to 5, so English minutes show who said what.
