Flexible voice options to match your brand
Authenticity matters when you're translating spoken content. That’s why our voice translator offers two flexible options: replicate your own voice using Voice Cloning, or choose from over 180 lifelike AI voices to match tone, accent, and emotion.
You can select voices by gender, age, or use case to create content that sounds true to your original. Kapwing also maintains the original soundscape of music, ambient noise, and effects, ensuring every translated audio file feels cohesive and high-quality.
Auto transcription and subtitles for greater control
With every audio translation, Kapwing automatically generates a full transcript — giving you editable text and subtitles in one streamlined workflow. Customize transcripts directly in the platform and hardcode subtitles into your translated audio projects with ease.
The subtitle feature is also great for creators working with song lyrics, voiceovers, or any spoken content that benefits from accurate, searchable, and editable transcripts. Fine-tune timing, assign styles to different speakers, and match subtitle visuals to your brand for content that’s clear, accessible, and optimized for multilingual audiences.

Can I translate live audio or only recordings?
Currently, the audio translation tool supports pre-recorded files only. You can upload audio or import it from platforms like YouTube, then translate the spoken content into your chosen language using AI-powered voice technology.
How accurate is Audio Translation?
The translation engine uses advanced AI and context-aware language models to deliver high-quality results. While it's highly accurate for most use cases, you can always review and make edits to ensure the translation matches your intended meaning perfectly.
Can I keep the original voice in the translation?
Yes, you can choose to clone the original speaker’s voice using AI voice replication.
Can I edit the translated audio?
Yes, once the translation is generated, you can review and fine-tune the audio directly within the editor. This includes adjusting pronunciation, pacing, or even swapping out the AI voice to better match your content.
How many languages can I translate into?
Kapwing supports translation into over 100 languages for subtitles and transcript copy, with support for AI Voice Dubbing in 40+ languages. You can select your desired language from the dropdown in the translation workflow, with the tool acting as a converter into multiple languages.
Can I translate song lyrics?
Yes, you can translate lyrics by uploading an audio or video file, or by pasting a URL link to a music video. Open "Subtitles" from the left toolbar and click "Auto-subtitles". Choose an original language and a new output language. Within a couple of minutes a subtitle layer will be generated displaying the translated song lyrics. For improved results, try using our Remove Vocals tool that can separate the vocals and instrumentals.
