DubFlow

Offline-first multilingual video dubbing pipeline

AI-powered, offline-first multilingual video dubbing pipeline that automatically downloads, transcribes, translates, and synchronizes YouTube videos into English while preserving the original speaker’s voice.

Project Context & Purpose

DubFlow is an AI-powered, offline-first multilingual video dubbing pipeline that automatically downloads, transcribes, translates, and synchronizes YouTube videos into English. It uses zero-shot voice cloning to preserve the original speaker's vocal characteristics while keeping the workflow modular and local.

DubFlow runs as a modular, job-based pipeline with isolated stages for downloading, extracting audio, transcribing, translating, synthesizing English speech, and muxing the final video.
