After upgrading to a Pro Account, you get 80 monthly minutes of dubbing, plus access to Voice Cloning and 300 minutes of subtitles translation.
Is there a watermark on exports?
If you are using a Free Account, then all exports contain a small watermark. Once you upgrade to a Pro Account, the watermark will be removed from every video.
Why should I translate English to Kinyarwanda?
A major reason to translate English audio to Kinyarwanda is that less than 20% of the global population speaks English. That means that about there are billions of potential viewers, fans, and customers your can reach through translation.
Further, search engines like Google don't operate in a single language, so having multiple language versions of a video — or multiple languages within one video — allows Google to index and your content in new ways and improve your search rankings.
How many voices does the AI voice library support?
Our Translate to Kinyarwanda tool has a built-in AI voice library with 180 unique voices to select from. You can filter by age, gender, use case, and accent to find exactly the right tone and delivery for your messaging.
How can I get the best quality out of voice cloning?
While it is possible to clone a voice from five-second voice samples, the more audio samples you provide our Voice Cloning tool, the more natural and exact you cloned voice will be. To get a cloned voice full of human emotion, it's best to upload or record a few three to five-minute samples. Doing this helps the AI capture all of the nuances in intonation and cadence, producing the best possible voice clone for you.
Does Kapwing support translation into other languages?
Kapwing supports translation into over 100 languages for subtitles and transcripts, with support for AI Voice Dubbing in 40+ languages.
How does AI voice dubbing work?
Generative AI is a key aspect of the AI voice dubbing process. Kapwing uses automatic speech recognition libraries, like Whisper developed by OpenAI, to extract the text from the video, then translates it using one of our MT vendors.
To dub audio, the translated transcript is transformed into a synthetic voice over, and both the video and voice timing are adjusted to create proper matching. Kapwing also uses LLMs to adjust the length of the translated text (if it is too long or short compared to the original language), localize the text into the selected dialect, clean the audio layer, and remove filler words from the transcript.
Can I translate song lyrics from English to Kinyarwanda?
Yes, you can translate lyrics from English to Kinyarwanda 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 English as the original language and then "Kinyarwanda" as the output language. Within a couple of minutes a subtitle layer will be generated displaying the song lyrics in Kinyarwanda. For improved results, try using our Remove Vocals tool that can separate the vocals and instrumentals.
What audio files does Kapwing support?
Kapwing supports a wide range of popular audio file formats, including MP3, WAV, WMA, M4A, OGG, FLAC, and AVI. Note that audio exports will always be in MP3, as we feel this format represents the best tradeoff between file size and quality.
Can I keep the original voice in the translation?
Yes, you can choose to clone the original speaker’s voice using AI voice replication.
Kapwing is free to use for teams of any size. We also offer paid plans with additional features, storage, and support.
