Different AI models have different strengths, prices, and range of supported languages.
If you're looking to generate subtitles or captions for your audio and video files, you have excellent choices available, including AWS, AssemblyAI, and Deepgram.
* Credits per minute of transcription
AWS is a transcription AI model developed by Amazon, a leading company in artificial intelligence. AWS excels in transcribing most spoken languages with high accuracy and quality. However, it is more expensive than other models and may not support some rare or regional languages.
AssemblyAI offers a more affordable and faster transcription solution compared to AWS while maintaining a high standard of quality. AssemblyAI can transcribe your files in minutes, though it supports fewer languages than AWS.
Nano is a smaller, cost-effective version of the AssemblyAI model. It is ideal for clear audio sources in supported languages, providing a budget-friendly alternative.
Deepgram provides moderate-quality speech-to-text transcription across multiple languages and is the most cost-effective option. For greater reliability, particularly if your language is supported, SaladAI or AssemblyAI may be a better choices.
Salad's large whisper model is slow and limited to a few languages. But it shows promising results for a very competitive price.
OpenAI's Whisper performs well across a range of languages. However, if your specific language is supported, you might prefer AssemblyAI for more consistent results. Note that Whisper may occasionally produce hallucinations, leading to unpredictable outcomes. Refunds are not provided for credits in cases of Whisper hallucinations.
If you need to translate subtitles or captions, you have two excellent options to consider: AWS and DeepL.
* Credits per 1000 characters of translation text
** Only translation from and to english language
AWS is a translation AI model created by Amazon, one of the leading companies in the field of artificial intelligence. AWS can translate most language pairs with high accuracy and quality. However, AWS is also more expensive than other models, and it may not support some rare or regional languages.
DeepL is a translation AI model that is higher in quality and faster in speed than AWS, while still being cheaper. DeepL can translate your files in seconds. However, DeepL supports fewer language pairs than AWS. Additionally, DeepL offers two settings for subtitle translations: a direct, literal translation ideal for technical content, and a new, more natural translation setting called DeepL2 , perfect for creative content and dialogues.
LibreTranslate is an open-source translation AI model, and we operate our dedicated instance on our servers. While being the cheapest offer, LibreTranslate currently is limited to medium-quality translations between English and 42 other languages.
