About

Vatis Tech is a transcription service that converts audio and video recordings into editable text. It addresses a common bottleneck — manual transcription is slow and expensive — by using speech recognition models to produce transcripts in roughly a minute for a one-hour file, which the company describes as about five times faster than a human transcriber.

The workflow has three steps. A user uploads a file, pastes a link, or records directly in the browser; the AI generates a transcript in one of more than 50 supported languages; and the user can then edit the text in a built-in editor and export it as TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT, PDF or JSON. Developers can skip the interface entirely and call the speech-to-text API. Vatis Tech is a Romanian company known in particular for its strong accuracy on Romanian audio, and it also offers a video transcriber and translator.

Key Features

95%+ accuracy in 50+ languages: Transcription covers English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Arabic, Japanese, Korean and dozens more, using the company's own trained models.
Independent benchmark results: Researchers at the University of Bucharest tested seven systems on over 126 hours of Romanian speech; Vatis placed in the top two overall, first on Antena 1 broadcast news (95.6% accuracy) and first on podcasts, beating Google's Chirp on all six test domains.
Summaries, speaker diarization and chapters: The service automatically identifies and labels different speakers in a recording and can generate summaries, chapter lists, topics, sentiment analysis and PII redaction.
Broad format support: Audio input includes MP3, WAV, M4A, FLAC, AAC and OGG; video input includes MP4, MKV, AVI, MOV and WebM, with about 25 additional formats supported overall.
Speech-to-text API: A developer API provides asynchronous transcription with speaker diarization and word-level timestamps, plus audio intelligence endpoints for summaries, chapters, topics, sentiment and PII redaction.
Security and compliance: The service is GDPR compliant and ISO 27001 certified, with SOC 2 Type II certification in progress.
Multi-language and video translation: A single recording can contain multiple languages, and the video transcriber doubles as a translator.
