Review and make any necessary changes to the extracted text and timestamps. Once you’re satisfied with the source text, click on “Mark reviewed”. Click on “Translate” to instantly translate the content.
LILT will then use your selected custom model to instant translate the video.
After the instant translation is completed, review and make any changes to the instant translated text. This might involve adjusting words per caption, or broken words/phrases. Once you are satisfied with the translated text, click “Mark reviewed”, then “Send for dubbing”.
Your video will be dubbed into the target language selected.
Once the dubbing has been completed, you can view your dubbed video in the platform. You also have options to download the Dubbed video (.mp4) and the subtitle file (.srt).
At any point during the text extraction, instant translation, or dubbing, you can leave instant video dubbing screen. Progress notifications will appear in your notification tray when the step completes and you can access the in progress project.
