Idea type: Competitive Terrain

While there's clear interest in your idea, the market is saturated with similar offerings. To succeed, your product needs to stand out by offering something unique that competitors aren't providing. The challenge here isn’t whether there’s demand, but how you can capture attention and keep it.

Should You Build It?

Not before thinking deeply about differentiation.

Your are here

Your idea for a video translation tool enters a competitive landscape. There are at least 28 similar products already out there, indicating a validated need but also highlighting the challenges you'll face in differentiating your offering. These products have high engagement, suggesting users are actively seeking solutions in this space. The lack of explicit positive 'use' and 'buy' signals is neutral, which is normal, but it underscores the importance of focusing on converting interest into tangible adoption and monetization. Several similar products received overwhelmingly positive feedback, but the criticisms ranged from translation inaccuracy, lack of support for specific languages, high costs, and violation of Youtube's terms and conditions.

Recommendations

  1. Begin with an in-depth analysis of the existing video translation tools. Focus on identifying their shortcomings, such as inaccuracies in translation, lack of support for specific languages or dialects, and issues with lip-syncing or voice cloning. The similar products' discussion and criticism summaries provided offer a head start on where some of these gaps might lie.
  2. Define your unique value proposition by focusing on 2-3 key areas of differentiation. Could it be superior accuracy through a proprietary AI model, support for a wider range of languages and regional dialects, more affordable pricing, or a focus on specific types of content (e.g., educational videos, marketing materials)? Explore offering real-time translation or addressing specific user needs like subtitle customization.
  3. Consider niching down to a specific segment of the market. This could be content creators focused on a particular genre (e.g., gaming, educational content) or businesses targeting specific geographic regions. Focus on those not adequately addressed by the current market players. For example, DubVid received interest in Russian and Armenian language support; this could be an area of focus.
  4. Develop a compelling brand and marketing strategy that clearly communicates your product's unique benefits. Highlight the problems it solves and the value it offers to your target audience. Address concerns raised in similar product launches, such as translation accuracy and YouTube's terms and conditions, head-on.
  5. Prioritize gathering user feedback and iterating on your product based on their needs. Start with a small group of early adopters and actively solicit their input on translation accuracy, user experience, and desired features. Many similar products received feature requests, such as video editing interfaces, software tours, and offline mode; consider prioritizing these requests in your development roadmap.
  6. Investigate the potential of voice cloning and lip-sync technologies. Positive feedback for products like D-ID Video Translate and Virbo AI Video Translator highlighted the importance of lip-sync accuracy and high-quality AI avatars. Experiment with these features to enhance the user experience and offer a more immersive translation solution.
  7. Before launch, conduct thorough testing to ensure your product complies with YouTube's terms and conditions. Address any potential concerns proactively to avoid violations and maintain a positive relationship with the platform.
  8. Given that TranslateVideo received criticism regarding translation accuracy, explore partnerships with professional human translators to review and refine AI-generated translations. This hybrid approach can improve the quality and reliability of your translations, especially for complex content and idiomatic expressions.

Questions

  1. How can you leverage community-driven translation efforts to improve accuracy and expand language support, similar to the suggestions for BiRead?
  2. What specific AI models or techniques will you employ to address the accuracy concerns raised in the feedback for TranslateVideo, particularly for niche topics and multiple dialects?
  3. Given the competition in the video translation market, how will you ensure your pricing structure is competitive and appealing to your target audience, especially considering feedback regarding the limited credits and desire for open-source alternatives in products like Akool?

I built a Fast Video/Audio Translator to localize Videos for all

09 Jul 2024 Video Artificial Intelligence Marketing

Hi Hackernews Community,Have long been a fan of yours.Waited long to perfect my video/audio translation product as a solopreneur. Now, we have a testable product with 10,000+ monthly users.We are not perfect yet but we provide a ton of features. We provide AI-generated subtitles. We let the user edit the subtitles and timestamps. User can edit the translated audio/video unlimited times without additional fees. We are in the process of making voice cloning free for all users, hopefully completing this weekend. We are launching a chrome extension and mobile app too.Though we already get 10k users each month, we are offering the product to be tried out at a heavily discounted price tag so that we receive as many feedbacks as possible to become the best in the market.Currently, we are marketing only through organic avenues like SEO, being a bootstrapped company. We have created landing pages for each category : https://videodubber.ai/translate-video/ , https://videodubber.ai/translate-audio/ , https://videodubber.ai/translate-subtitles/ , https://videodubber.ai/translate-voice/ and then for each language like https://videodubber.ai/translate-spanish-audio-to-english/ .Recently we concluded our translation efforts making most of the website links available in spanish and shifting the whole site to next.js (a heavy technical debt changing from flask and ninja2 to next.js)We are at 700 clicks each day. Majority of these clicks convert to a free account but free to paid conversion is wayy less right now at less than 1%.We have done many analysis to find out why but failed to pinpoint exact reason. Turning to you, the Great Hackernews Community, to solve this mystery.Most of our competitors charge 10x our price tag and offer similar or lesser quality(internal evaluation). Still, our conversion rate is less than 1%.Need to seriously solve this mystery to stay afloat. We are making a ton of new products and training a text to speech engine to better vocalize sentences with contextual emotion. But these initiatives need fund which we lack until we solve this conversion mystery.You can test the product yourself by going to the link. Ask me anything, I will give you internal data on traffic breakup and everything.

Users appreciate the good English to Tamil translation and suggest software tours for new users. The simple UI and fast processing are praised, but there is a request for a video-editing interface. Additionally, the product is noted to be more affordable than alternatives.

Users have highlighted the need for software tours to help new users get acquainted with the product. Additionally, there is a demand for a video-editing interface to enhance functionality.

AI dub tool I made to watch foreign language videos with my 7-year-old

26 Feb 2024 Video Languages Artificial Intelligence

Hey HN!I love watching YouTube with my 7-year-old daughter. Unfortunately, the best stuff is often in English (we're German). So I made an AI tool that translates videos directly, using the original voices. All other sounds, as well as background music, are preserved, too.Turns out that it works for many other language pairs, too. So far, it can create dubs in English, Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, Arabic, French, Russian, German, Italian, Korean, Polish and Dutch.The main challenge in building this was to get the balance right between translating the original meaning and getting the timing right. Especially for language pairs like English -> German, where the target ist often longer than the source ("bat" -> "Fle-der-maus", "speed" -> "Ge-schwin-dig-keit").Let me know what you think! :)

Users criticized the Show HN product for potentially harming language learning, with specific concerns about dubbing affecting English proficiency and the pedagogical wisdom of using dubs. Subtitles were criticized for poor timing, revealing too much, and being too fast for children. There were also complaints about the lack of support for all languages, the high cost, and the need for manual adjustments in automatic dubbing. The product was seen as lacking originality, with unclear unique selling points. Concerns about copyright issues, the lack of a local version, and the absence of certain language options like Ukrainian were also mentioned.

https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=solardev

This is really impressive! Can't wait to see this more fleshed out. I'd gladly pay for something like this (by the video, ideally).Some page feedback though: It seems to me that the video just keeps playing, with no way to restart it or scrub through the timeline. Each time I click a language, it changes the spoken audio but just keeps playing where it left off. That makes it hard to compare the same passage across different languages.Separately, I think there are also some errors in translation. For Sample 3 (about the vines), the original in Mandarin Chinese says something like "if this tree gets grabbed, the weed will climb up and wrap around it, and the tree won't be able to photosynthesize and will die". But the English mistranslation says "If it gets scared by people, it gets pulled off and messed with. It can't function. The evil effects? It just dies."There are also timing issues where the translations don't match up with the original subtitles or dialogue, and certain parts of the original audio just seem to be altogether ignored and not translated.Maybe displaying the translated subtitles, allow with a way for users to report errors, would help...?

https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=solardev

Gotcha, thanks for the great walk-through and in-depth explanations! Excited to see how this thing progresses.I'd totally pay to have something like this as a Chrome plugin for YouTube, for example.

https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=daremon

I honestly don't see how movies are different with any content ie YouTube videos. I am pretty sure MrBeast etc have the same lawyers as any big studio.Could this run locally? I would certainly pay for that and you're off the hook on how anyone uses it.

https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=mannycalavera42

it's a lovely parenting story. Let me tell you there is also a huge opportunity for the opposite use case. My elderly parents speak only one (non-Eglish) language. I would love to have a (cheaper) way to provide my parents with translated videos with the addition of (translated) subtitles. Subs are important because elderlies can have hearing issues great work, inclusivity is love

https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=jianshen

Wow this is amazing. If there was a locally running version available, I would gladly pay money for it.

https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=leobg

Would love to. Can you broker a deal? :)

https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=scrollaway

Yes I agree with you. Actually, good-quality dubbed animated movies (= disney) is what I often use to help learn a new language.

https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=leobg

Yes! I love this!So you'd be translating English to Simplified English? Or are you talking from another source language?I've already been playing with this concept w.r.t. books:I take a non-fiction book. I'll have an LLM translate it with a specific audience in mind (say, a 7 year old girl with a certain background), explaining concepts and words that are likely unknown to that audience. And then converting the whole thing into an audiobook. Optional parental controls built in ("exclude violence", etc.). Nowhere near showtime, though.Another thing I'd love to work on is filtering existing content. There are millions of videos on YouTube. Right now, finding quality stuff that's fun to watch with my kid depends a lot on dumb luck. But what if I could filter by topic (semantic whitelist/blacklist, i.e. not keyword dependent), personality traits (OCEAN, MBTI), values (e.g. "curiousity") and language (reading level, vocabulary, words per minute, etc.)? I'd love that.

https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=vidarh

I'd love what they suggested as well, for other languages. I'm working on improving my French (and occasionally German), and I'm at a stage where I can follow along some French shows reasonably well if they're not speaking too fast (one of the first French phrases my French teacher in school taught us was "plus lentement, s'il vous plaît" - "slower/slowly please", for a reason), and if they're not speaking any particularly difficult accents, and not too much slang, but it's limiting and I'm often forced to keep English subtitles on as a consequence and it's sometimes too much of a crutch. It doesn't help that my hearing isn't what it was.Being able to "step down" the difficulty so that I can either turn off subtitles entirely or rely on French subtitles, or even much "difficult speech" and "simple subtitles" or vice versa seems like it'd be very useful in getting over that hump faster.

https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=daremon

This is really amazing! Well done.I already joined the beta but I want to point out another use case here as well:In many countries (ie Greece where I'm from) movies and TV shows never get dubbed. We rely on subtitles. This means that if you can't see well (disability or age-related eye problems) and if your English is not excellent, then you are doomed to only watch locally produced movies & shows.This can be a real life-changer.

https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=luxpir

Thanks for Checksub, another happy user here.We take multilingual, AI-cloned audio from you guys (split from background noise, of course), after we've processed the subs professionally at our end, then we align everything in your tool and send off to a third service for lip sync. The result has blown away a few clients now. The CEO speaking 5 languages with perfect lip sync in their own tone of voice is quite convincing.Hopefully we can get it all in one tool soon.

https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=Gunnerhead

I would love that to help learn another language!

https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=felixarba

I second this! I was recently looking into a way to build something like this for my grandfather, but wasn't even sure where to start from the hardware side.I wanted to have hardware plug into TV receiver, generate subtitles for live TV program and then play it back on TV. Delay would likely be less than a minute but even a few minutes is not a problem really.Many people with a hearing problem would benefit from this and with AI getting so good at Speech-to-text, this can be done for quite a large population.If anyone has a recommendation on where to start with this, I'd appreciate it! Was thinking of using Whisper for subtitle generation, but not sure about hardware that can take in, and output HDMI and run this software

https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=simple10

This looks amazing! Thanks for sharing. I signed up for the private beta.

https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=sss111

can you add hindi as an output language, been meaning to build something like this for my parents. You saved me some work haha!

https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=godzillabrennus

Would love this for Plex.

Congratulations on the launch of D-ID Video Translate, @gil_perry ! 🚀 This is a fantastic innovation that will definitely help creators and businesses reach a wider audience. The automatic translation and voice cloning sounds super impressive, and I can already envision so many use cases for this tool. The bulk output feature is a game changer for anyone working with multilingual content—saving both time and resources is a crucial aspect we all appreciate. Your focus on user engagement through localized experiences really resonates with the current market trend. I'm excited to see how this tool will evolve and the impact it will have on video communications. Can't wait to try it out and look forward to providing feedback! Keep up the incredible work!

I product looks amazing, I will give a try soon in my next video tutorial. Congrats on the launch 🚀

halilgg

I think I'm one of the first users of D-ID, its remarkable what Gil and the team have build in the last few years - and even more excited to see what they come up with in the coming near future. The new capabilities look 🤯 - giving it a try now!

Congrats on the launch, @gil_perry ! I’ve been following this field for a while and have used similar products like Hey*** 😁, so I’m excited to see something new. I first tried uploading a director’s speech, and it notified me that I couldn’t upload videos of celebrities—great feature to avoid risks! However, when I tried a different video, I got a “failed to generate video” message. It might be an issue on my end, so I’ll try again in a few hours . I also encountered a few white screen instances where I had to refresh to get things back to normal; maybe it could use some optimization 😁. On the plus side, D-ID gifted 20 credits! That’s more than what other similar products offer, and I’m looking forward to putting them to use soon.

josh_dver

This has been SO well received by marketers, comms professionals and so many others already based on the early release. CAN'T WAIT to get this into the hands of many businesses and consumers alike!

steve_ormonde

Really incredible. Will change how we communicate with others with different languages but not lose the personalisation and individuality.

gabrieltaveira

Amazing tool! Can’t wait to see what will be created with it 🚀

zenda1122

I have been using D-ID since a year ago. When let photos talk shocked me at that time. I am very glad to see the release of D-ID again. I really need videos in multiple languages. Especially when I want to demonstrate products to users in other countries. Congrats on entering the feature! Wish you success in ranking!

Great stuff @gil_perry , I can already think of some awesome use cases for this.

oleksandr_naumov

Wow, D-ID team, you've truly outdone yourselves with Video Translate! As a marketer, this tool impressed me a lot. The ability to auto-translate and dub videos with such precision saves us countless hours and resources. Voice cloning and lip-sync technology are simply mind-blowing. This is going to make a huge difference in how we connect with global audiences. I am happy to use tools like this for breaking down language barriers and making video communication more accessible and impactful!

saeid_kajkolah

I’m really excited to give this a try for my videos! The lip-sync technology sounds incredible. Awesome job, team!

VoiceCheap - Dub & translate any video in any language

08 May 2024 Artificial Intelligence YouTube Audio

🎥🌍 VoiceCheap: AI-powered video dubbing & translation tool. Customize everything - use your voice or our library. Built-in speech-to-text, text-to-speech, auto-subtitles & lipsync. Perfect for YouTubers & course creators. Try it for free with 30k tokens!

VoiceCheap's Product Hunt launch garnered positive feedback, with users highlighting its potential for video content creators, particularly for dubbing, translation, and global expansion. Users find it useful for promotional videos and YouTube content. The AI-powered platform is seen as a game-changer and the future of media content globalization. Some users inquired about product roadmap access, build time, speech technology challenges, and available speech-to-text languages. There's interest in trying the product, accompanied by congratulations and upvotes for breaking down language barriers.

Users question the product's roadmap accessibility and the naturalness of its translations, raising concerns about its human-like quality. The economic viability of specialized native speakers is also questioned. Furthermore, the product faces competition from alternatives like VideoPlus Studio, which offers a broader feature set, making customer acquisition potentially challenging.

max_kamyshev

Great concept and really useful idea, good luck with your launch! I was just wondering where we can access the product roadmap? I'm really interested in your plans for future product development.

filippo_calabrese

This is the kind of product I would need on behalf of several customers. Many times I have had to produce promotional videos on behalf of international businesses and the use of specialised native speakers is not always economically viable. Definitely a product to consider. Congratulations!

fabdurso

@kevinrss01 congrats on your launch, also considering you're an indie maker! I'll check it out for sure. How long did it take to build? Upvoted!

aman_wen

Smacked that upvote cause anything that knocks down language barriers is a straight win in my books. Plus, for us content crafters, this could mean less time tearing our hair out trying to reach a wider audience. I'm curious, though with all the AI magic, how natural are the translations? Are we talking smooth, 'could've-fooled-me' levels of human, or is it more 'robot-trying-its-best' vibes?

shushantlakhyani

YouTube content creators any any video content creator would love using this

syeda_firdous

This tool is best for me . I need this tool for my YouTube channel. How many languages is speech to text.

matteo_magliozzi

This product seems like a must-have for me—I've often found myself in situations where I needed it but never had the chance to try one. Very curious to give it a go. Upvoted. On another note, we're launching Shockwave, a social media marketing platform on Saturday! Our mission is to help brands and creators significantly increase audience engagement through gamification mechanics and social farming. We'd love for you to join us by clicking 'notify me' on our coming soon page. Infinite thanks to everyone who will do it.

Translate Videos to 75+ languages using AI with just 1-click. You also get Unlimited Free Subtitles - Animated Subs and SRT/VTT. As a creator or marketer reach 8-billion people globally by dubbing your content and generating subtitles seamlessly.

The Product Hunt launch of TranslateVideo received overwhelmingly positive feedback. Users repeatedly congratulated the team and praised the tool's ability to simplify video translation and expand content reach to a global audience with 75+ languages. Key features like one-click translation, AI-powered translation, voice options, and unlimited subtitles were highlighted. Many users plan to test the product, introduce it to their marketing teams, or feature it in newsletters. Some asked about translation accuracy, lip-sync support, real-time translation, and the AI model used. Potential use cases for content creators, marketers, and international companies are mentioned, with excitement about its time-saving capabilities and ease of use.

Users expressed significant concerns about the accuracy of the AI translation, particularly with complex content, idiomatic expressions, and cultural relevance. Questions arose regarding the AI model's specifics and its ability to handle niche topics and multiple dialects. Accuracy data is crucial for business adoption. Several inquiries focused on how the AI ensures translation accuracy and natural language flow. There was also a suggestion for broader usability improvements and feature additions, including lip-sync. Finally, the risk of redundancy if YouTube implements similar features was highlighted.

LingoSync.ai translates videos into 40 languages

02 May 2023 Languages Artificial Intelligence

Dear HN,a friend and I are testing the waters of launching a SaaS offering.We've built a prototype of LingoSync.ai, which will allow customers to translate the audio of any video with spoken text into 40+ languages. The process will be 100% automatic.We take the original audio, translate it into the target languages, and create translated videos where the translated audio roughly matches the timestamps of the original audio. It's not perfectly lip-synced (we also do not alter the video stream), but translated sentences start where original sentences started, which is good enough for many use-cases.We are currently running a closed beta and created a landingpage which showcases the product and allows to sign up for the waiting list: https://lingosync.ai/enFeedback and sign-ups are welcome!
