Vietnamese to English video translator

Slightly: Vietnamese runs a little longer than English. Both use lines of up to 42 characters, and the English stays on screen long enough to read at 17 a second. It is laid out after translation, so the two sets of subtitles needn’t match one for one.

For the meaning, yes, though our test of whole recordings put Vietnamese below most languages once turned into English. Many lines were exact, such as “Professor Pamela Ferguson of the University of Dundee”. The slips we saw were mostly names and unusual terms that the transcript wrote by sound.

In one clip, the name T. rex was heard as ordinary Vietnamese words, “tí bếp”, and the English subtitle translated those words instead of naming the dinosaur. A line like that stands out in its scene and is quick to fix against the Vietnamese subtitle at the same moment.

Not the English ones. The Vietnamese transcript can lack full stops (11 of our 40 test clips had no punctuation at all), but the English translation writes its own, and its subtitles are cut at English sentence ends and pauses.

If you also publish the Vietnamese subtitles from Original, read them for full stops and for capitals that appear mid-sentence where the speaker paused.

Vietnamese is among the languages NoteOwl understands on a Mac. It imports MP4 videos, transcribes them with unlimited transcription and saves SRT subtitles naming each speaker. For Vietnamese subtitles of Vietnamese speech, use the Vietnamese subtitle generator.
