Features

Everything in the dub, and what is not.

Dublio translates the whole script, lets you read and fix every line, then voices it. Here is the full list of what you can do, and a plain list of what you cannot.

A short walk through Dublio: upload, read the script, pick a voice, download.

Translate

The script comes first. You see it before any voice is made.

  • The whole script at onceDublio translates the full script in one go, so a sentence that was cut across two lines is translated in context and the terms stay consistent from start to end.
  • Detects the original languagePick the language of your video, or leave it on auto-detect. If the video is already in the language you chose, Dublio tells you instead of translating it into itself.
  • Your instructions, in your wordsTell the translator how formal to be, which names to keep, which words to avoid. The instructions apply to every line, and to every re-translation.
  • Spoken, not writtenDublio asks for how people really talk, not for a literal translation. For Persian it takes extra care with half-spaces and the spoken register.
  • Dub only a partGive a start and an end time to dub one section. Only that section is cut out, translated and voiced, and only that section uses minutes.

Edit

Machine translation is a first draft. The editor is built for the second draft.

  • Every line is editableThe original sits on the left, the translation on the right. Change what you like and press play on the line to hear it.
  • Translate one line againPress the circular arrow next to a line and Dublio translates just that line again, in context, without touching the rest.
  • Only changed parts are voiced againParts you did not touch are reused as they were. Editing a line re-voices only the stretch of speech it belongs to, and the rest costs nothing.
  • See what was adjustedLines that were shortened, sped up a little or that still do not fit are tagged, and the timeline above the script shows them in colour so you know where to look.
  • Re-translate everythingChanged your mind about the tone? Update the instructions and translate the whole script again. This replaces your manual edits, so Dublio asks first. Each project allows two.

Voice

Thirty voices, grouped female and male. You hear them before you choose.

  • Hear a voice in your languagePress Hear next to a voice and it speaks a short sentence in the language you picked. Each voice has a one-word description.
  • Sentences voiced as a wholeLines are grouped into sentences before voicing, so the delivery keeps its rhythm across breaks in the original.
  • A note on deliveryAdd a short instruction such as “warm, calm narration” and the voice follows it as well as it can.
  • Fits the original timingTranslated text is often longer. When a sentence does not fit its slot, Dublio shortens it once, and speeds it up slightly if it still does not fit. Nothing is cut off silently: you see the tag.
  • Original sound: remove it or keep itRemove the original audio, or keep it quietly under the new voice. Keep in mind that removing it also removes its music and sound effects.
  • Background musicPick a track that comes with Dublio, free, or add your own with any pack. Set the volume and press a button to hear a 14-second preview of the real mix. The music fades out at the end and lowers itself while the voice speaks.

Subtitles

Laid out for the language they are in.

  • Burned in, or a separate fileBurn subtitles into the picture, or take only the SRT file, or both. You choose per project, and you can change it later with a free re-export.
  • Right-to-left done properlyPersian, Arabic, Urdu and Hebrew subtitles are laid out right to left, so the full stop lands on the correct side. See the guide on why that goes wrong.
  • Short, readable linesEach line of the script is split into subtitles of about 42 characters, at most one per second of speech, cut at the word boundary nearest an equal share of the text.
  • Size, position, colour, boxChoose the size, put the text at the bottom, a little higher or at the top, pick the colour, and decide whether it sits on a dark box. A live preview shows the result.
  • Fonts that can draw the charactersChinese, Japanese and Korean subtitles use a font that contains those characters instead of showing empty boxes.

Brand

Make the result look like yours.

  • LogoPlace your logo in a corner or at top centre, set its size and how see-through it is. A pack is needed for this.
  • Corner textA line of text in any corner, such as your channel name or the address of the original video. Free for everyone.
  • Title cardsAn opening and a closing card with a title and a line of text, on a colour you pick. Free, and they do not use extra minutes.
  • A brand kitSave your logo, corners and subtitle look once and every new project starts with them.
  • A real previewThe Brand tab draws your logo and text on an actual frame of your video, with the same engine that makes the export.

Files

Four files from one project, all made from the same script.

  • Dubbed videoWith the new voice, and optionally subtitles, logo, corner text and title cards. Choose the file size: Original, High (up to 1080p), Medium (up to 720p) or Small (up to 480p).
  • SRT subtitlesA subtitle file in the new language, on the timing of the dub, ready for any editor or platform that takes SRT.
  • Dub-only MP3Just the new voice at the length of your video, silences included, to lay under your own edit.
  • Podcast-style audioAudio only, with long pauses shortened and the loudness levelled, with the project name as the title tag.
  • Everything in one zipDownload all the files of a project in one go, and re-export as often as you like. Re-exporting is free.

Your control

Fair to you in the small things.

  • Nothing is voiced until you say soThe translation is ready for review first. Voicing starts when you press Generate.
  • Minutes are the length of the videoNo tokens, no credits, no mystery. Editing, re-voicing and re-exporting use no minutes. If a dub fails or is stopped before the transcript exists, the minutes come back.
  • Stop, leave and come backYou can stop a running job, and what was finished is kept. You can also close the page: progress is saved in your project.
  • Your projects, in one placeThe Projects page shows a picture, languages, length and status for each one. Rename, download or delete any of them.
  • Sign in without a cardGoogle or email, and 10 free minutes every month. Packs are one-time, never expire and have no subscription.

What Dublio does not do today

Some tools offer more. If you need one of these, you should know now.

  • No voice cloning. You pick a voice from a list. Dublio does not copy the speaker’s own voice.
  • No lip sync. The picture is not changed. The new voice is laid over the original video.
  • One voice per video. The whole dub uses the voice you pick. An interview with three speakers will sound like one narrator.
  • No separating speech from music. The original audio is either kept quietly under the dub or removed, with its music and sound effects.
  • One video at a time. A second video can start when the first has finished.
  • No public API and no team accounts. Each person has their own account and their own projects.
  • Files, not links to video sites. Dublio works from a file you own. Pasting a link to a video on a video site does not work, on purpose.
  • No promise of accuracy. Transcripts, translations and voices are made by software and can be wrong. Read the script before you publish. That is what the editor is for.
