Localizing Video Collectors, Transcripts and Subtitles

You can now fully localize your Video Collector into the language of your choosing. And subtitles and transcripts will be automatically generated in the language of the speaker.

Localizing Subtitles and Transcripts

Your Collector will automatically detect the language of the speaker, and transcribe the video for subtitles and transcripts in that language.

Localizing Your Video Collector 

These are the aspects of your Collector you can customize:


Welcome page

The Collector title and introduction text can be customized into any language. From the Welcome Page tab, you can edit your welcome message and incentives. 

Questions

Your questions can be customized into another language. If you have additional tips, you can also customize them for each question. Just click the tiny cog over each question to customize those tips. 

Attribution & Thank You Page

By selecting the Attribution Page or Thank-you Page from the side bar, you can control the text people see after they respond to your questions.

Using Collector Settings you can edit every bit of default text by selecting Customize or Translate Text. This includes “How it works” and even the “Let’s Go” button.  

Click through the sections below to see the customizable fields for each page:

  • Welcome Page
  • Question Pages
  • Attribution Page
  • Custom Video Release UI
  • Video/Audio Recorder
  • Desktop Camera Permission Overlay
  • Miscellaneous

Welcome Page customizable fields

These are the fields that can be customized for the Welcome Page

Question Pages customizable fields

These are the fields that can be customized for the Question Pages. Here is where you can make changes so that “How would you like to respond?” and the two record buttons can be changed. Be careful not to edit {{step_number}} as it is a variable and your Collector may look weird if you make typos inside the brackets.

Attribution Page customizable fields

Custom Waiver Page customizable fields

While your waiver may be written in another language, there are certain phrases you may want to localize as well.

Note: This part will be customizable only with Pro or Enterprise subscription. Learn more about custom waivers and what they look like. 

Customizable fields for Technical Parts of the Collector: Video/Audio Recorder and Desktop Camera Permission Overlay

Before the respondent replies to their first question via your Collector, they may need to toggle between cameras, give microphone permissions, and more. 

Privacy customizable fields

You can customize the words Privacy and Terms to your own language.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use languages with non-Latin letters, such as Chinese, Russian, or Arabic?

Yes! Our Video Collector allows any text.

Can your software be in another language other than English?

Vocal Video’s editing capabilities are limited to English at the moment. 

The transcription is wrong!

Our transcription is created with Amazon AI but even in English, it’s not perfect! A clear speaker may still require some edits, such as removing “um” and fixing formatting.

Can I have the terms in another language other than English?

Since we are a company based in California, our terms of service will stay in English. You can translate them and send them to your respondents or link to them from one of the collector pages. 

However, with a Pro subscription, you can provide a custom release entirely in your own language.
