Translating Your Podcasts and Videos In Your Own Voice Is Now Possible

Rome – October 12, 2023

We are pleased to unveil a first-of-its-kind podcast and video localization service that enables companies and users to translate and recreate their own voice in target languages.

By combining transcription, adaptive machine translation (MT), linguists, and AI voice cloning technologies, Translated enables anyone to leverage the hallmark of their voice in the most widely spoken languages.

Until now, companies and creators have faced significant cost and time barriers breaking into the global scene. While generative AI voice technologies can help quickly render voices in another language, they don't ensure that the generated audio conveys the original message properly across cultures. Purely automated systems lack the sophistication to deliver the authenticity and emotional impact that brands need to communicate their vision and intent. In addition, the latest examples of generative AI voice technologies are not ready to solve this problem, as they are typically limited to one person speaking and no audio content other than the voice.

Translated's new AI-powered voice translation service is powered by Matedub, a first-of-its-kind dubbing tool that automatically transcribes an audio or video source, translates it into the target language, and allows for editing of the translation.

Users can tailor the text spoken by the AI voice, helping them resonate more with audiences in the target language. Translated’s linguists, carefully selected and specifically trained through a network of 500,000 native-speaking professional translators, edit the translations to help the AI voice mimic the feeling and intonation of the original voice.

Costs and Availability

Translated's high-quality AI dubbing comes at a fraction of the cost of traditional dubbing, between 10 to 30 percent of the typical cost, depending on the use case. It is already available in the 20 most spoken languages in the world, with more to be added soon.

The new podcast and video localization service is provided as a stand-alone service, as well as through connectors to content management systems (CMS) and Version Control Systems (VCS) for automated input/output of content. Companies can contact Translated's sales department or their own account manager directly to start using the new service.

Creators can upload the audio or video they wish to have localized at video.translated.com to get a quote or contact Translated at translated.com/contact-us for a larger partnership.
