Icon.svg Good to know

  • The translation process takes approximately 20 minutes per minute of video. You receive an email notification once the translation is complete.
  • For best results, keep your face clearly visible and avoid covering your mouth with your hands, a microphone, or other objects.
  • When translating to English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, or German, you can also select Original accent. This option follows your natural accent more closely and optimizes the translated voice to sound more authentic rather than matching a regional dialect.
  • AI Translation translates the entire video and does not let you keep specific words or phrases in the original language. After the translation is complete, you can use VideoDub to change selected words back to English.
  • AI translation costs 1 AI credit per minute of video translated. 
  • Tone of Voice for AI translation can be applied to a recording or an export, not a Magic Episode.
