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.

By the far the most user friendly software to use.
As a housewife at home looking to start a YouTube channel for fun with absolutely zero editing experience, it was so easy for me to teach myself via their YouTube channel. It takes the tediousness out of editing and encourages creativity. As long as Kapwing is around, I will be using their software.

Love this site.
As an English Foreign Language Teacher, this site helps me to quickly subtitle interesting videos that I can use in class. The students love the videos, and the subtitles really help them to learn new vocabulary as well as better understand and follow the video.

Excellent subtitling features
[It] works perfectly for me. Have been using Kapwing for a year or so, and their automatic subtitle tool gets better and better every week, it's rare that I have to correct a word. Keep up the good work!

Frequently Asked Questions

Bob, our kitten, thinking

Is the Audio Translator free to try?

Yes, our online Audio Translator is free for all users to try. When you sign up for a Free Account, you get three minutes of dubbing and 10 free minutes of subtitle translation. Once you upgrade to a Pro Account, you unlock 300 monthly minutes of audio translation per month, plus access to a wide range of other helpful AI tools.

Is there a watermark on exports?

If you are using Kapwing on a Free Account, then all exports — including from the online Audio Translator — will contain a small watermark.

What audio files does Kapwing support?

Kapwing supports a wide variety of popular audio file formats, including MP3, WAV, WMA, M4A, OGG, FLAC, and AVI. Note that audio exports are always in MP3 format, as we feel this file type represents the best tradeoff between file size and quality.

Can you translate audio from YouTube videos?

Yes, you can translate audio from YouTube videos using Kapwing. Simply paste the video URL into Kapwing’s editor to import the content. Then, use the Translate tool to change the language of the voice, either by cloning the original speaker’s voice or dubbing it with a realistic AI-generated voice

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.
