Translate audio files and recordings into different languages with XTranslator's AI-powered audio translation feature.
What is Audio Translation?
Audio Translation allows you to:
- Upload audio files and get them translated
- Support for multiple audio formats
- Preserve audio quality during translation
- Get text transcripts in the target language
Supported Audio Formats
XTranslator supports the following audio formats:

How It Works
Step 1: Upload Your Audio File
- Go to the Audio Translation section
- Click Upload Audio or drag and drop your file
- Select the source language (or use auto-detect)
- Choose your target language
- (Optional) Select a Domain (General, Legal, Medical, Politics, Financial, Education, Marketing, Tech)
Step 2: Process Translation
XTranslator will:
- Extract audio content
- Transcribe speech to text
- Translate the text to your target language
