OpenDub Keeps the Speaker, Changes the Language
A local-first video dubbing tool that translates speech, clones the original voice, preserves timing, and adds subtitles.
- For
- Video makers localizing speech and subtitles
- Worth noticing
- The browser version accepts videos up to five minutes and can download a 172 MB separator for local voice removal.
Field notes
The interface exposes a multi-stage pipeline rather than hiding the process behind a single generation button: speech detection, translation, voice generation, mixing, subtitles, and rendering are represented separately. Users can compare the original and dub, inspect individual lines, and move or resize dubbed blocks when timing slips. OmniVoice is described as local and free for non-commercial use, while Higgs Audio and ElevenLabs provide additional model paths through user-supplied keys.
