Time to reflect! We're at the end of our first month of 2023. How was your January so far?
We're already at the end of January, time flies! How did your first month of the new year go so far? Did you stay on track with your resolutions, did you do anything special or did you reach a certain goal you set for yourself already? I'm curious to hear about how you've conquered the first part of this year so far and what your next step is :)
Text-To-Speech: AI Dubbing And What You Can Do With It
Today we will look at Wavel Studio's AI dubbing and its various use cases. Is my content suitable for AI dubbing or AI localisation? In simple terms: What is dubbing or dub localisation? Should I use a human or a machine for my dubbing? How do I use a video translator to dub my video? Rules of thumb, or heuristics, to achieve a superior outcome with AI dubbing? On reviewing this step, you will be able to (1) upload your own video content, (2) transcribe your content, and (3) dub your content into a different dialect. To dub the content using a different voice, our first step is to copy the captions from our video component into our audio component. Click into your editor, and hit Ctrl-A and Ctrl-C. Go to the Audio component, click add captions and paste your content. Use the highlighted button to add captions without adding an audio file. We will transcribe again, this time using the Text-To-Speech Transcription AI. It is also possible to break up your captions into fragments, as shown below. We will only use the first fragment, but you can break your content to produce different *.mp3 files. A few quick notes. The options are the different voices, with (M) for males and (F) for females. The accent can also be seen, and we use English (US) (M), American English Male. The S/P indicates Standard or Professional - we recommend Professional; Standard is an older technology (sounds more robotic). We are now going to add our generated Audio to our original video. Go back to your video component, and click on Audio Overlays. Notice we have not set any times. Add (in seconds) the time. We added 0.5 and 21 as start and end times and clicked the + button to bake in the Audio overlay. With Wavel, you will be able to, Integrate with ease in 12+ platforms including Youtube and Vimeo And can choose different emotion voices from a library of 250+ pitches, which is a great way to experiment with your videos for Voiceover. 30+Languages with 30+ different diverse accents, in this way you can reach millions of views. That is the entire process. Sign Up to learn more about Wavel.ai. https://studio.wavel.ai/register?
