Transcription and translation transforms

MK.IO offers AI-powered VOD transcription and VOD translation features that allow you to generate subtitles from audio tracks. The generated subtitles are delivered in WebVTT format into an output asset and can be subsequently added to the manifest of the asset with a track insertion transform.
