       | Hey HN!
       | 
       | I love watching YouTube with my 7-year-old daughter.
       | Unfortunately, the best stuff is often in English (we're German).
       | So I made an AI tool that translates videos directly, using the
       | original voices. All other sounds, as well as background music,
       | are preserved, too.
       | 
       | Turns out that it works for many other language pairs, too. So
       | far, it can create dubs in English, Mandarin Chinese, Spanish,
       | Arabic, French, Russian, German, Italian, Korean, Polish and
       | Dutch.
       | 
       | The main challenge in building this was to get the balance right
       | between translating the original meaning and getting the timing
       | right. Especially for language pairs like English -> German,
       | where the target ist often longer than the source ("bat" -> "Fle-
       | der-maus", "speed" -> "Ge-schwin-dig-keit").
       | 
       | Let me know what you think! :)

         | already supported.

       | this locally? Topaz ai has a pretty good model for this if you
       | are looking to monetize.
