Maestra
A browser-based service for transcription, subtitles, dubbing, and live translation across more than 125 languages.
About Maestra
Maestra is a browser-based media localization platform for recorded and live content. It handles transcription, subtitle creation and translation, AI dubbing, voice cloning, and real-time speech translation in more than 125 languages. Teams can upload media, edit the results, share work through Maestra Teams, or connect supported processes to an application through the API. Pricing depends on the kind of output and the minutes used. Subtitle plans range from pay-as-you-go credits to annual subscriptions, and voiceover allowances are calculated separately. Premium and Business add collaboration, API access, more translation options, and priority support. Maestra fits media teams that prefer one service for several localization tasks. Capacity still needs careful planning because subtitle, translation, and voiceover allowances cannot be treated as the same pool. Maestra says it encrypts data in transit and at rest, permanently removes files that users delete, hosts the service on AWS, and sends payment processing to Stripe.
Best for
Best use cases
A recorded video needs translated subtitles and a localized voice track before distribution.
A live event needs real-time speech translation and captions for a multilingual audience.
A recurring media pipeline needs automated transcription and subtitle processing through an API.
Compare before choosing
The single platform reduces handoffs when a project needs transcription, subtitles, and dubbing.
Minute allowances vary by subtitle, translation, and voiceover output, so equal plan prices do not mean equal capacity.
Premium and Business tiers add API, team, translation, and support features that lower tiers do not include.
