Targum Video focuses on a single, sharply defined job: take a video in any language and produce a version that viewers in another language can understand. The name comes from an Aramaic word meaning "translation," a nod to translating meaning across languages. You paste a social link, drop in a file or record from your phone, and the service returns a translated video with localized speech and subtitles, usually within seconds for short clips.
The product is subscription-based with three tiers. Starter covers up to 30 minutes of translation per month and is aimed at understanding short social videos. Basic adds downloadable translated MP4 files, SRT subtitles and a larger per-video allowance. Creator/Business raises monthly minutes to 300, adds a priority queue, watermark customization and priority support, with API access and GPT-4-augmented translation listed as forthcoming.
Targum also ran a @vidtranslator bot on Twitter that replies with translated video, which helped it gain traction as a quick way to make foreign-language posts understandable. Note that the public pricing page still shows 2023 introductory pricing with a scheduled increase, and several features remain marked "coming soon," so exact current terms should be confirmed before subscribing.
