Sound Familiar?

The old way is slow and expensive

Manual translation, hired voice actors, days of waiting. Creators and teams lose time and money on every single video.

Skip the old workflow

A tool translated my video into Mandarin and now it sounds wrong to a Hong Kong audience.

I have an English recording and need a Cantonese version for viewers who do not follow English.

I want to check the translation against the words, not just hear it.

How It Works

Done in four simple steps

Upload, pick languages, and let the AI handle the rest. No software to install.

01

Upload the English audio or video file (an exported recording, not a live source)

A few clicks, that is all.

02

Choose Cantonese as the target language and start the job

A few clicks, that is all.

03

Get the Cantonese voice-over plus the Cantonese subtitles, both generated from the same translation

A few clicks, that is all.

04

Download the audio or the subtitle file — or both — and drop them into your editor

A few clicks, that is all.

Cantonese is not Mandarin with a different accent — it is a distinct language with its own vocabulary and grammar, and treating the two as interchangeable is exactly what makes most 'Chinese' translations wrong for a Cantonese audience. That distinction matters in practice: a Hong Kong or Guangdong viewer will hear the difference in the first sentence. This tool takes an English-language recording and produces a Cantonese version of it: the English audio is transcribed, translated, and re-voiced with a Cantonese voice, with subtitles in the same language so the words can be checked or edited. It fits the usual jobs — an English interview you need to subtitle for a Cantonese audience, a product video going out to Hong Kong, a talk you want to share with a Cantonese-speaking team — and it works from the file you upload, which means no live microphone and no interpreting on the spot. Cantonese is one of the languages the transcriber recognises, so the other direction works too: a Cantonese recording can be translated back into English or any of the other supported languages. Costs 1 credit per minute of audio, with 20 free credits at sign-up and a daily free allowance; failed tasks are not charged.

Cantonese, not Mandarin

The target language is Cantonese, spoken by a Cantonese voice, so the result is aimed at Cantonese speakers rather than a general Chinese audience. That is the whole point of separating the two.

Voice-over plus subtitles

You get both outputs from one run: the Cantonese audio to listen to and the Cantonese subtitles to read, edit or style. Useful when the translated wording needs a review pass before it goes out.

Works both directions

Cantonese is also a recognised language on the input side, so a Cantonese recording can be transcribed and translated into English — the upload-based workflow does not care which side is which.

FAQ

Common questions

Is Cantonese the same as Mandarin?+

No. They are different languages: a Cantonese speaker and a Mandarin speaker who have only their own language cannot hold a conversation, even though they share a writing system. That is why translating into 'Chinese' is ambiguous — a Cantonese audience needs a Cantonese translation, which is what this tool targets.

How do I translate an English video to Cantonese?+

Upload the exported video or audio file, choose Cantonese as the target language, and run it. You get a Cantonese voice-over plus Cantonese subtitles generated from the same translation. Note that this works from an uploaded file — there is no live or real-time interpreting mode.

Can it translate Cantonese back into English?+

Yes. Cantonese is one of the languages the transcriber recognises, so a Cantonese recording can be transcribed as Cantonese and then translated into English, or into any of the other supported languages. The direction is set when you pick the source and target.

Do I get subtitles as well as audio?+

Yes, both. The dubbed Cantonese audio is the listening version; the Cantonese subtitle file carries the same words with time codes, so you can review the translation, fix wording, or burn the subtitles into the video yourself. If you only need one of the two, ignore the other.

How good is the Cantonese translation?+

It is a machine translation produced from an accurate transcript, and it is best on clear, straightforward speech. Colloquial English, wordplay and culture-specific references will not always land, and written Cantonese has more than one convention — so for anything that will be published widely, have a Cantonese speaker read the subtitles once. That review is far shorter than translating from scratch.

Is it free?+

Translation and dubbing cost 1 credit per minute of audio, sign-up includes 20 free credits plus a daily free allowance, and failed tasks are never charged. There is no subscription — a short clip costs a fraction of a credit pack.
