Videos, webinars and online courses

A YouTube video, a recorded webinar, an online course, a podcast episode, a foreign news broadcast. No subtitles, or subtitles in the wrong language.

Benefits

• Live subtitles in your language for anything playing in your browser, even when the video has none.
• A transcript you can search and copy, instead of scrubbing back and forth through the video.
• An AI Summary of an hour-long webinar in a few paragraphs.

Mode and setup

Two ways, both on a computer:

• Chrome extension: open the video, click the Saydi icon on the right edge, choose One-Way. The subtitles appear in a floating window over the video. This is the simplest option.
• Website: open saydi.ai/console/translate-one-way in another tab, set the audio source to System / Tab, pick the tab with the video and click Start Talking.

Notes

• Pause the video when you pause Saydi so the transcript stays in sync.
• Videos with a lot of music translate less well; speech-only content gives the best results.
• Long videos use credits per minute. Check your balance before a 3-hour course.

Result

The transcript and summary in History. Copy Translation only into your notes.
