GASTON is a web application that transcribes, translates and lets you search audio and video recordings, and monitors YouTube channels for new content.
Upload a file or drop in a link. YouTube, Facebook, Rumble and hundreds of other sites are all fair game.
Automatic language detection and transcription in over a hundred languages, no setup required.
Multiple voices in one recording? Gaston tells your speakers apart automatically.
Search by meaning, not just exact words, and find matching sentences across your entire library.
Track YouTube channels and get notified the moment your keywords are mentioned.
Ask questions about any transcript and get answers backed by the exact moment they were said.
Translate into dozens of languages, complete with realistic voice cloning for dubbed audio.
Fix mistakes, bookmark key moments, and sort every recording into folders.
Download transcripts as TXT, SRT or CSV. One file at a time, or a thousand at once.
Have you ever needed to search in audio or video recording? Our search engine goes beyond traditional full-text search, enabling you to use Boolean operators or search for partial words, allowing you to find all variations of the terms you're looking for.
AND / OR / NOT
combine or exclude terms with Boolean operators
"exact phrase"
match an exact phrase with quotes
wildcard*
use a wildcard to match all word variations
Sometimes the words you're looking for were never actually said. Semantic search understands meaning instead of exact spelling: describe what was talked about in a full phrase or sentence, and GASTON finds every mention across your library, even when the wording is completely different.
Great for tracking a topic, sentiment, or theme instead of hunting for one exact quote: it's a natural fit for journalists and researchers scanning hours of monitored content, and you can loosen or tighten how close a match needs to be at any time.
paraphrased quotes
still get found, even when nobody said your exact words
plain language
type what you mean, no Boolean operators required
search across languages
one query finds matches in any language you've transcribed, no translation needed
All your transcripts can be translated into various languages. We support not only all European languages but also others like Chinese, Arabic, Korean, Yiddish and others.
Are you learning a foreign language? Translate the original file and watch the pronunciation of individual sentences in our player.
GASTON exposes a REST API so you can bring transcription, search, and monitoring into your own applications and scripts. Official Python and PHP clients are available to get you started in minutes.
from gaston import Gaston
client = Gaston("gapi-...")
media = client.transcribe_url(
"https://youtube.com/watch?v=..."
)
results = client.search("Trump AND Musk")
Alerts acts as your ears on the internet. When you start monitoring a source, it will email you as soon as it detects what you're looking for.
Every alert can be sent to separate email addresses
Combined with state-of-the-art search engine never miss a word.
