Translate a video into another language, voiced on its own timing
Upload the video, get the transcript, translate it into one of 18 languages and voice it in a natural voice. Every line is placed at the second it was said, so the track lines up with the picture: one MP3 as long as the video, ready to go under it. Two people talking? Each can have a voice of their own.

Frequently asked questions

How do I translate a video into another language with a voice?
Upload the video in Speecho's Transcribe tab, translate the transcript, then choose "Voice on the original timing" in the translation's Voice menu. You get one MP3 as long as the video, each line placed where it was said; put it on the video in the free tool or in your editor.
Will the voice match the speaker's lips?
No. The lines start at the same seconds as the original speech, but nothing changes the picture. It suits videos where a voice explains what is on screen: tutorials, screen recordings, courses, presentations, narration. For close-ups of someone talking, the mouth will not match.
What if the translation is longer than the original?
A line that runs over its time is sped up by up to 25%, the voice keeping its pitch. If that is not enough, the next lines start a little late until a pause takes the delay up. Before voicing, the panel names the lines likely to run over, so you can shorten them; afterwards the card shows which were sped up or late.
Can a video with two or more people get several voices?
Yes. When the transcript tells the people apart, each gets a voice of their own, up to eight. Who says each line comes from speech recognition and can be wrong, so check it before voicing; a line in the wrong voice can be moved to another voice and voiced again on its own.
Is my video uploaded?
Only its sound. When you add a video in Transcribe, your browser takes the audio out of it and uploads that. The free tool that puts the new track on the video also runs in your browser. The video file stays on your computer.
What happens to the music and sound effects?
The voice track holds only the new voice. In the free tool you can keep the original sound quietly underneath, music and effects included; the original speech stays in it too, so this suits videos with little talking. Otherwise add the music again in your editor.
Can I put the translation on YouTube as another language?
Yes. Where your channel can add audio tracks in YouTube Studio, upload the MP3 as the track of the new language: it is as long as the video and starts where the video starts, so nothing needs lining up. Add the translated subtitles from the same transcript as well.
Can I fix a line after voicing?
Yes. Open the voiced set in your history, correct the line's text or give it another voice, and voice it again: only that line is charged, at its own characters, and the track is put together again by itself.
How long can the video be?
Up to 2 hours for the voice-over for now. Transcription takes longer recordings; voice a longer video in parts.
Which languages are there?
Transcription understands 99 languages and translation goes into 18. The voices speak many languages and accents, with native voices for the main ones and universal voices for the rest.
