YouTube has officially launched an auto-dubbing feature, allowing creators to automatically generate translated audio tracks for their videos. This innovative tool, powered by Google's AI technology, aims to enhance accessibility for viewers worldwide.
Previously in limited testing, the auto-dubbing function can now translate videos from various languages, including English to Indonesian, and supports additional languages such as French, German, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Spanish.
Creators simply need to upload their videos, and YouTube will automatically detect the original language, generating dubbed versions in selected languages. This feature is currently available for channels focused on informative content, with plans for broader availability in the future.
YouTube acknowledges that while the technology is robust, it may not always provide perfect translations or accurately replicate the original speaker's voice. They are actively working to improve the feature's accuracy and have future updates planned, including a tool called 'Expressive Speech' to better mimic tone and emotion.
