How to dub a YouTube video to English with AI: 4 steps, price and what it will not do
Blog · · Vyexa team · 3 min read
You make videos in Russian, Ukrainian or another language, and a part of the comments already asks for English. Hiring a voice actor for every video does not scale, and subtitles alone lose people who just listen. Here is how to dub a YouTube video into English with an AI voice, what you get and what it will not do.
Short version: upload the file to Vyexa Dubbing, pick English, wait, download the dubbed MP4 and upload it to YouTube. The first 10 minutes are free.
How to dub a YouTube video to English in 4 steps
- Get the file. Use your own video: the original export from your editor, or the download from YouTube Studio. Dub only videos you own or have the right to translate.
- Upload it at dub.vyexa.net and choose English as the target language. The voice is set to Auto: each person in the video gets a similar male or female voice. You can pick a voice for the whole video before you start.
- Wait for the result. The service finds the speech, translates it, voices it and mixes it back. Music and background sound stay, the original speech goes under the new voice.
- Download and publish. You get the dubbed MP4 and subtitles in English. Upload it as a separate video on an English channel, or as the English version of the same upload. The audio-only file is available too.
What it costs and how long a video can be
Free gives 10 minutes once, with no payment. Plus is $5 for 60 minutes, up to 15 minutes per video. Pro is $15 for 200 minutes, up to 30 minutes per video. One minute of video is one credit, rounded up. Credits last 30 days from payment, and what you do not use stays on the account. Payment is in crypto (USDT TRC-20 or NOWPayments).
What stays and what changes
- The speech is translated and voiced in English; subtitles come in English as well.
- Music, laughter and room sound are kept at full volume.
- Two or more speakers get different voices, and one person keeps one voice through the whole video.
What it does not do
- It is a voice-over, not lip-sync: lips do not match the English words.
- AI translation can miss slang, wordplay and names. Read the English subtitles before you publish.
- Songs are not dubbed, only speech. Several people talking over each other is harder than one clear voice.
- Files are kept 7 days, so download the result in time.
We have not measured how dubbed videos perform on English channels compared with the originals, so we give no view figures. Test it on one video first and compare retention in YouTube Studio.
