Transcribe Cooking Tutorial and Recipe Video Audio to Text

Turn cooking tutorial audio into written recipes with timestamps and summaries. Built for Nigerian food creators and home cooks.

You're watching a jollof rice or egusi soup tutorial and the cook says 'add the pepper small small, no rush am' somewhere in the middle of a 20-minute video, but you can't find that moment again without scrubbing through the whole thing. Autrans transcribes cooking tutorial audio into text, so the steps, quantities and timing a cook explains out loud become something you can read, search and follow while your hands are busy in the kitchen. Food content creators recording voiceovers for YouTube or TikTok get a written script they can turn into a blog post or recipe card without retyping everything from scratch. Because Nigerian cooking videos are often narrated in Pidgin or a mix of English and local language, Autrans is built to follow that, not just standard English recipe language.
