YouTube's new tool can automatically dub videos into other languages

YouTube has plans to go beyond translated subtitles by allowing creators to dub videos into other spoken languages. At VidCon, the company announced yesterday that it's testing an AI-powered dubbing service called Aloud, developed at Google's Area 120 incubator, The Verge reported. The tool would eliminate the time and often great expense required to create a dub the usual way (with human translators and narrators), allowing creators to reach a wider global audience. Aloud promises a "quality dub in just a few minutes" using AI. The tool first creates a text-based translation that creators can check and edit, then generates a dub.
