Customer stories

Trusted by journalists, broadcasters & creators

Transcribe Video to Text is built on Vatis Tech's speech engine — here's what Vatis Tech customers say.

The automatically transcribed text can be easily edited and modified as needed… Automated transcripts can then be shared and distributed more easily among multiple users, facilitating collaboration and information exchange.
Alin Romașcan
Chief Operating Officer, Antena 3 CNN
In our quest for a state-of-the-art transcription solution, Vatis Tech emerged as the clear choice, thanks to its solid accuracy, ease of use, and real-time capabilities.
Adrian Vintila
Head of Broadcast IT, Euronews Romania
The difference was clear right from the start. Vatis was faster, more accurate, and has only gotten better. It saves us time every day.
Veronica Tudor
Deputy Chief Editor, AGERPRES
In a world full of unsearchable but crucial information on platforms such as TikTok, InstaReels, Facebook or YouTube lives, Vatis gave us, as journalists, the opportunity to collect, transcribe and search for information. Without it, I would have to listen to thousands of hours of interviews, debates and streamed video solely helped by two ears, ten fingers and a headset.
Victor Ilie
Investigative Reporter, Recorder
I use the software created by Vatis Tech on a weekly basis. It helps a lot to streamline my working time, making it easier to edit the text directly… The transcription is highly accurate, has diacritics, punctuation, and the paragraphs are separated by speakers.
Andreea Roșca
Creator, The Vast & The Curious podcast
Vatis Tech tackles the challenge of speech-to-text in medical and radiological language by employing artificial intelligence. With a focus on accuracy, Vatis Tech surpasses other applications for the Romanian language, offering reliable transcription results.
Dr. Răzvan Capșa
Medical Director, Radiology & Medical Imaging
We switched from Turboscribe after hitting too many daily file limits and inconsistent results. Vatis Tech gave us instant speed, total control, and zero restrictions.
Daniel P.
Media Manager
We left Notta because of the usage caps and hidden fees. Vatis gave us everything — fast, clean, and included.
Anna F.
Lead Researcher, Public Affairs Firm
