Translate my voice: hear yourself in another language
Fynqcast editorial team4 min read
You can hear your own voice speaking Spanish, German or Italian even if you don't speak those languages well. You write or collect the text, have it translated, review it and let your cloned voice read it in the new language. One honest note before you start: with Fynqcast you don't upload a video to dub. You always start from text, and you add the audio to your video yourself, without lip sync. Here's how it works, what you need, an example and the limits worth knowing.
How does it work in practice?
- The text. Your video script, a course introduction, a message to customers. If all you have is a video, you'll need its transcript.
- The translation. It's done with AI and comes back to you for review, so you can correct it or have a native speaker check it.
- The reading. Your cloned voice reads the approved text in the language you chose.
- The file. You get an MP3 and SRT subtitles to use in a video or on their own.
What do you need before you start?
A cloned voice can only be your own. Cloning someone else's voice isn't allowed, even with their written consent. To create yours, you must be an adult with an identity document issued by an EU member state, pass an identity check and give consent.
The step that matters most here comes during consent. Besides the language you record in, which is always included, you choose the other languages your voice may speak, and your cloned voice works only in those. If you want to hear yourself in Spanish, Spanish has to be on the list. You can withdraw your consent at any time.
Example: introducing an online course
Marta, an invented yoga teacher, wants to introduce her course to Spanish-speaking students.
Original text (English):
Hi, I'm Marta. In this course, we'll do ten minutes of yoga a day together, at home, with no equipment. Every lesson starts with the breath and ends with two minutes of relaxation. You don't need any experience: just a mat and a little consistency. See you in the first lesson.
Translation settings: keep the name "Marta" unchanged; informal register; note "warm tone, short sentences".
Reviewed translation (Spanish):
Hola, soy Marta. En este curso haremos juntos diez minutos de yoga al día, en casa y sin material. Cada clase empieza con la respiración y termina con dos minutos de relajación. No necesitas experiencia: solo una esterilla y un poco de constancia. Nos vemos en la primera clase.
The Spanish audio opens with the spoken notice in the language of the audio, "Voz clonada con IA.", and then Marta's voice begins.
What are the limits?
- It's your voice reading, not you speaking. The tone of voice is yours; listen carefully to the accent and rhythm in the new language before you publish.
- Names and technical terms. Check how proper names sound, and rephrase the sentence if one sounds off.
- No lip sync. It works better over footage, slides or hands at work than over a close-up of you talking.
- Always review the translation. Don't publish sentences in your voice that you don't understand.
How to do it with Fynqcast
- In your dashboard, open the My Voice tab and create your cloned voice, authorizing the languages you need.
- Open the Studio tab (FYNQ Studio and Publisher plans) and choose the Translate & Speak category.
- Under How to start, pick Your text and tick Translate before reading. Paste the text or use Load PDF, DOCX or TXT, then set the Original language and the Language to read.
- In Translation settings, add the names to keep unchanged, the register and your notes. Click Translate, review the text and approve it.
- Among the voices, choose Your cloned voice. If the language isn't authorized, Studio tells you.
- Generate, then download the MP3 and the SRT subtitles.
When you publish, say that the voice was cloned with AI. The plans that include Studio and voice cloning are on the pricing page.
