Summary

Canto AI is an AI transcription and video subtitle platform built for Cantonese, handling code-switching, spoken particles, and proper nouns, with auto speaker labels, AI summaries, line-by-line translation, and a browser-based multi-track video editor.

What is Canto AI?

Canto AI combines a Cantonese speech-to-text engine with a video editing suite. Users upload audio or video (MP3, M4A, WAV, MP4, MOV), paste links, or record directly in the browser; the system transcribes with timestamps and speaker labels, generates AI summaries (highlights, paragraphs, meeting minutes, to-do lists, and more in six formats), translates line by line (English, Traditional/Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Bahasa), and includes a video subtitle studio for one-tap subtitle generation, music scoring, transitions, and local MP4 export. Video processing happens on the user's device; only audio is sent for transcription, ensuring privacy.
