Tongyi Tingwu is Alibaba Cloud’s audio-and-video assistant for professionals and learners who need to capture, organize, and analyze spoken material from meetings, lessons, and similar sessions. It can convert speech into text as a session unfolds and provide synchronized multilingual translation, allowing participants to stay focused on the discussion. Existing audio or video content can also be transcribed, with speakers separated in the resulting record.
The output extends beyond a verbatim transcript: Tingwu can organize material into chapter overviews and action items for project managers, meeting participants, and students reviewing important points. Its primary user-facing form is a computer experience, while the official site separately presents API access and low-code application templates that can be privately deployed. The service is centered on audio and video input, so a recording or submitted media source is required, and consequential minutes should still be checked against the original material.
