Dub a video in Telugu
Add a video of up to 5 minutes and choose తెలుగు (Telugu). Lychhee writes down what is said, translates it into Telugu and voices it again, then gives you a lip-synced video or a Telugu audio track.
Telugu audiences
Telugu is written in the Telugu script and is the main language of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, with large Telugu communities in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and the United States. It is the most widely spoken of the Dravidian languages and was declared a classical language of India in 2008.
మీరు, not నువ్వు
Telugu has a respectful మీరు and a familiar నువ్వు for you. A creator speaking to viewers uses మీరు, and a dub that slips into నువ్వు sounds overfamiliar. Modern written Telugu follows the spoken standard rather than the old literary style, so the translation should read the way people talk.
English words in Telugu speech
Telugu tech, film and finance content mixes in a lot of English, and in speech English words often pick up a Telugu vowel ending, as in బస్సు for bus or కారు for car. Terms like phone, update and EMI usually stay in English. The result shows the Telugu text next to the original, so you can see what was kept and what was translated.
Lip-sync for reels, audio for YouTube
For a reel or short where your face is on screen, choose lip-synced video: Sync Lipsync 2 matches the mouth to the Telugu audio. For a long YouTube video, audio track only gives you a Telugu audio file to add as an extra language track. It costs less and leaves the picture untouched.
Questions
- Can I paste the YouTube link of the video I want to dub?
- Not a YouTube page link. Upload the video as an MP4 or MOV file, or paste a direct link to an .mp4 file. For your own channel, download the video from YouTube Studio first.
- What does a Telugu dub cost?
- The price is set by the video’s length, billed per started minute up to 5 minutes. Audio track only is cheaper per minute, and Clone my voice adds one minute. The exact credits and your balance are shown before you start.
- Can the Telugu be spoken in my own voice?
- Yes, with lip-synced video. Choose Clone my voice and MiniMax Voice Clone copies your voice from the video itself, billed as one extra minute. Audio track only uses a studio voice.
