What a video language changer does here
To change the language of a video is to change what the viewer hears. This video language changer transcribes the speech, translates each sentence to fit the moment it was said, and speaks it again in the new language. It also gives you subtitles in the new language and in the original one. The picture stays as it is.
Which languages are free
With the free voice, the video language changer runs in your browser and needs a free translation model for the pair:
- From English into Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Spanish, French, German, Italian, Hindi and Korean. Portuguese too, in Chrome on a computer, which has its own translator.
- Into English from Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Russian, Arabic, Italian, Vietnamese, Japanese, Hindi, Indonesian, Korean and Thai.
The free voice speaks English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Korean, German, Italian, Hindi and Chinese, so any other new language needs a different voice model: OmniVoice in the free OpenDub app on your computer, or your own Higgs Audio or ElevenLabs key. Between two languages other than English, translation without a Higgs key depends on Chrome's own translator, which may not cover the pair. For English to Hindi, see Translate video to Hindi; for English as the new language, see Translate video to English. English to Spanish, French and Chinese have pages of their own: Translate video to Spanish, Translate video to French and Translate video to Chinese.
How to use the video language changer
- Open the dubbing card at opendub.app, in the browser on a computer or an Android phone.
- Choose the video. A video file from your own device, up to five minutes long in the browser.
- Spoken in: leave it on Auto-detect, or choose the language of the video.
- Dub into: choose the new language.
- Voice model: choose the free voice. If the free voice does not speak the new language, the start button says so.
- Start the dub and download it. The first dub with the free voice downloads up to about 750 MB of models, once.
Where the video language changer runs
- On a computer, in the browser: free with the stock voice.
- On an Android phone, in the browser: free with the stock voice, which runs on the phone.
- On an iPhone: the free voice is still a preview, at opendub.app/?phonevoice=1. Without that, the page offers to send the link to your computer.
- In the OpenDub app on your computer: OmniVoice clones the speaker's voice for free, for non-commercial use, with no length limit. There are downloads for Mac (Apple Silicon) and Windows.
What you get back
- The video with the speech in the new language.
- The dub audio as WAV.
- Subtitles as SRT in both languages.
Limits
- The free voice is a stock voice, not a clone of the speaker, and the original voice is turned down under it rather than removed.
- The browser stops at five minutes per video; the app on your computer has no limit.
- It changes the voice, not the lips in the picture.
- It works on a video file on your own device, not on a link to a video online.
Is the video uploaded?
No. With the free voice, the video language changer does the speech recognition, the translation and the voice in your browser, and the video stays on your device. With Higgs Audio or ElevenLabs, only speech clips and text go to that provider. The privacy page has the details.
A video language converter, a video language changer and a video translator are names for the same job here: the same AI dubbing that runs on the OpenDub home page.
Questions
Is this video language changer free?
Yes, in a stock voice, in the browser on a computer or an Android phone, with no key and no account to try (downloading the dub takes a free sign-in), for videos up to five minutes: an English video into 8 other languages, or a video in 13 other languages into English. The OpenDub app on your computer also clones the speaker for free with OmniVoice, for non-commercial use.
Can it change the language of a video on my phone?
On an Android phone, yes, in the browser. On an iPhone the free voice is still a preview, at opendub.app/?phonevoice=1.
Do I have to say what language the video is in?
No. Spoken in can stay on Auto-detect.
Does the new language keep the speaker's voice?
Not with the free voice, which is a stock voice. OmniVoice in the OpenDub app on your computer, or your own Higgs Audio or ElevenLabs key, clone the speaker.
Do I get subtitles?
Yes. Subtitles in both languages, as SRT files.
