What do I get after processing?

Vaivox gives you the full video dubbed in your language with a natural voice.
👉 All in your language, ready instantly.
Can I download everything?
Yes, you can download:
🎧 The dubbed MP3 audio
🎬 On higher plans, the dubbed video too (MP4)
Is it just dubbing?
Vaivox doesn't translate word by word: it understands the content and the context, so the dubbing sounds natural and true to the meaning — not a mechanical translation.
Is it better than subtitles?
Yes. With subtitles you read while watching, which gets tiring on long videos. Vaivox dubs the video with a natural voice, so you listen in your language and follow along effortlessly — even long videos.
Are the voices AI generated?
Yes. Vaivox uses advanced AI voices designed to sound natural and easy to understand.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Vaivox works directly in your browser.
Just paste a link and start.
Do I need a Chrome extension or an app?
No — Vaivox works right in your browser, on any device. No extensions, no app to install: paste a link and go.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes — Vaivox works on any device (phone, tablet, computer), straight from your browser. Nothing to install.
What's the difference between plans?
The Free plan lets you try Vaivox with limited minutes.
Paid plans give you:
🚀 More minutes
⚡ Faster processing
🎬 Longer videos (up to 2h30)
🔊 A different voice for each speaker
What currency will I be charged in?
Prices are shown in your local currency automatically, based on your country: euros (€) by default, US dollars ($) in the United States, and British pounds (£) in the United Kingdom.
The plans are the same, at the same value, in every currency — and you always see the exact price in your currency before you pay.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes, you can cancel at any time from your account — no commitment, no lock-in.
Can I translate Bilibili and VK videos?
Yes. Besides YouTube, TikTok and X, Vaivox also dubs Bilibili (China) and VK (Russia) videos into your language — platforms almost no other tool supports. Just paste the link and you get the full video dubbed with a natural voice.
Is it legal? Is the video downloaded?
No, the video stays on YouTube: Vaivox doesn't download or re-host it. It only adds the dubbed audio, synced to the original. It's meant for personal use, to help you understand content.
Can I dub age-restricted (18+) videos?
No. Age-restricted videos require signing in to a YouTube account to confirm your age, and Vaivox never uses personal login credentials or cookies — so they can't be processed. Please pick a video that's viewable publicly without signing in.
Why doesn't Vaivox do lip-sync?
On purpose. Vaivox is built to help you understand videos, not to create polished content for creators. Perfect lip-sync would make each video far slower and more expensive — and our goal is the opposite: fast, natural understanding at a price everyone can afford. You get an AI voice in your language, synced to the timing of the original, so you can follow along easily.
How long can the video be?
It depends on your plan: Free up to 30 minutes, and paid plans go up to 60, 120 and 150 minutes per video. If a video is longer than your plan allows, you'll see a message and can upgrade or pick a shorter video.
What happens to my video? Is it safe?
Your video stays on YouTube — Vaivox doesn't re-host it. We only process it to create the dubbed audio, we never use your content to train AI models, and temporary files are deleted after processing (generally within 90 days).
How accurate is the translation?
Vaivox aims for a faithful, natural translation so you truly understand the content — meaning first, not word-for-word. It's built for comprehension: you follow the ideas as if the video were made in your language.
What kind of videos work best?
Anything you want to understand: courses, tutorials, interviews, podcasts, lectures, talks and documentaries. Vaivox works great with spoken content — the clearer the speech, the better the result.
Am I charged if the dubbing fails?
No. Your minutes are only used when a dubbing completes successfully. If a video fails, no minutes are deducted — just try another video.
Can I choose a male or female voice?
Yes. Before dubbing you can pick a male or female AI voice, and Vaivox generates the audio in your language with the voice you chose.
