Show HN: CloneDub – Convert audio into any language using the same voices (clonedub.com)

33 points by justasking7000 ↗ HN
Hey everyone! Excited to share CloneDub - a tool that allows you to convert audio into any language while keeping the same voices.

We currently translate to: English, Spanish, French, Hindi, Italian, German, Polish, and Portuguese.

The voices are cloned so that the podcasters sound the same! For example, if you were to upload a Lex Fridman podcast interviewing Sam Altman and requested that it was translated into Hindi, it would sound like Lex Fridman and Sam Altman, but just in a different language/accent!

How does CloneDub work?

Audio Upload: Upload your audio file, paste a YouTube Link, or the link to your mp3/wav file

Output Language Selection: Choose the language you’d wish to convert the audio to - we support English, Spanish, French, Hindi, Italian, German, Polish, and Portuguese.

Generate, Download & Share: Wait for the output to generate, download, and share * Note we only allow you to use CloneDub for one episode at a time and only allow for up to 10 min of audio for now as it is still in beta

You can view a demo and try it out here:clonedub.com

We decided to make CloneDub for 2 main reasons: We love building for creators and have seen the impact that multilingual support for subtitles and dubbing has had for other industries (eg. on Netflix) / growing up watching Bollywood movies that we could only understand because of subtitles ! We have family members who are not great at understanding English and thus have had limited access to information, educational content, and entertainment that we had the luxury of having just based off the language we speak

I know a podcast doing this to translate to multiple languages.

You can offer this as a service for podcasts to translate them to multiple languages.

I am very interested in this. I have a walking tour app with English content narrated by me. I have a French text auto-translation in the app, but no audio content in other languages yet. This could be a game changer for me. I'll definitely try it out in the next few days and get back to you with feedback.

I just tried this out--for some reason every number that was mentioned in my audio was not translated into Spanish. So I heard a string of Spanish, then "forty five thousand" or "six point seven percent". Sounded decent past that.

This is so cool. This is a long shot, but maybe reach out to Spotify?
