Dub into the languages your viewers speak

Translate a video into Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam or Punjabi, or into English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin Chinese and Russian. Get a lip-synced video or just the new audio track, in a studio voice or a clone of the original speaker.

Talking avatars from your own photo

Upload a portrait and give it a script or a recording, and the model animates the face to match. Lychhee has no library of stock presenters: you bring the face, whether that is you, a mascot or a generated character. Lip-sync models also re-time the mouth on a video you already have.

Pay in rupees, per job

Plans and credit packs are priced in rupees and paid through Razorpay. Translation is billed per started minute of video, and the exact quote is shown before you confirm. Credit packs never expire, so a creator who dubs a few videos a month is not paying for minutes they do not use.

When HeyGen is the better choice

Choose HeyGen if you need a ready-made presenter from a large stock avatar library, a language outside Lychhee's 20, or videos longer than 5 minutes, which its paid plans allow up to 30 or 60 minutes. HeyGen also has a free plan you can try before paying, per-seat team billing on its Business plan, and 4K export from the Pro plan up. Lychhee has no free plan and no stock avatar library.
