*Chinese requires separate configuration of the whisperX model, only applicable for local source code installation. See the installation documentation for the configuration process, and be sure to specify the transcription language as zh in the webpage sidebar
Translation language support depends on the capabilities of the large language model used, while dubbing language depends on the chosen TTS method.

-
WhisperX performance varies across different devices. Version 1.7 performs demucs voice separation first, but this may result in worse transcription after separation compared to before. This is because whisper itself was trained in environments with background music - before separation it won't transcribe BGM lyrics, but after separation it might transcribe them.
-
The dubbing feature quality may not be perfect as it's still in testing and development stage, with plans to integrate MascGCT. For best results currently, it's recommended to choose TTS with similar speech rates based on the original video's speed and content characteristics. See the demo for effects.
-
Multilingual video transcription recognition will only retain the main language. This is because whisperX uses a specialized model for a single language when forcibly aligning word-level subtitles, and will delete unrecognized languages.
-
Multi-character separate dubbing is under development. While whisperX has VAD potential, specific implementation work is needed, and this feature is not yet supported.
- VAD to distinguish speakers, multi-character dubbing
- Customizable translation styles
- SaaS service
- Lip sync for dubbed videos
