OpenAI intelligence across every lecture workflow

OpenAI frontier models

OpenAI frontier models

Top OpenAI models power lecture transcription, bilingual captions, interpretation, and structured study notes.

Predictable minute billing

Recordings use 1 credit per 5 started minutes, realtime transcription uses 1 per 3 minutes, bilingual captions use 1 per 2 minutes, and interpreter audio uses 3 per minute.

Bilingual study output

Transcripts, translations, and bilingual notes stay connected, which makes review easier after class.

How Translate Now pricing works

Translate Now offers prepaid credits without a required subscription, plus a $299 one-time annual unlimited plan for a full year of unrestricted Translate Now usage.

01

Choose credits or annual unlimited access

The 200-credit pack suits occasional classes, while 2,000 credits cover sustained lecture use. If you transcribe, translate, and review classes throughout the year, pay $299 once for annual unlimited access with no automatic renewal.

02

Recorded uploads include speaker separation

Every recording includes speaker-aware transcription, timestamped captions, a summary, keywords, notes, and replay. One credit covers each started five-minute block, so a 47-minute lecture uses ten credits.

03

Five-minute blocks keep recording credits predictable

Recording credits round up by five-minute blocks: one to five minutes uses one credit, six to ten uses two, and 60 minutes uses twelve. Speaker recognition is included.

04

Separate rates for transcripts and bilingual captions

Realtime transcription uses one credit per started three-minute block. Bilingual caption translation uses one credit per started two-minute block and displays source speech with translated text. Final duration is settled when the session ends.

05

Live interpreter audio uses three credits per minute

Realtime audio translation uses three credits per started minute and returns generated translated speech. Choose it when reading subtitles would interrupt a fast lecture; use caption translation for a lower-cost bilingual workflow.

06

Estimate usage before class and keep a safety margin

Billing rounds up each started block: six recorded minutes use two credits. A 60-minute realtime transcription session uses about 20 credits, bilingual captions use 30, and interpreter audio uses 180. Failed processing jobs are refunded.
