Natural Speech in Content using Auto-Dubbing Expressive Speech
Watching videos from creators who speak different languages used to be not so easy, but it’s no longer the case, especially after YouTube has rolled out some awesome updates to its translation features.
They aim to make stories from all the corners of the globe feel like they were made just for you. And thanks to the latest tech, auto-dubbing expressive speech is now making YouTube feel like a global village where language is no longer an issue.
Catching the Creator’s Personality
The best part about this feature is that the video sounds so real and natural. Immaculately depicts the feelings and the excitement of the creator too. This feature can now be enjoyed through YouTube’s auto-dubbing expressive speech.
Currently available in eight major languages, including Spanish, English, and Hindi, among others. Now, you can enjoy your favorite creator’s laughter and excitement in the dubbed version too!
Language Preference
YouTube is also looking out for the viewer. You now have the option to choose a “Preferred Language” under the settings menu. This means that, if you wish, you no longer have to shift the audio every time you click on a new video.
Also, if you wish to use the original audio, this is now possible as well. For the viewer looking for the most realistic dubs, YouTube is also looking into a feature referred to as a “Lip Sync” tool. This program lives up to the auto-dubbing expressive speech by ensuring the speaker’s lips move in sync with the translated dialogue.
Smart Filters
Now, creators do not have to be worried about the additional workload because YouTube has introduced the smart filters that understand when not to dub the video. For instance, if the creators publish a music video, the auto-dubbing filters will remain in the off-status.
Additionally, creators do not have to worry about how the videos will rank in search results when using the auto-dubbing expressive speech feature, as it tends to increase channel views as the video becomes accessible in other countries where the language was not readily understandable.
