Show HN: Dubbie.com – open-source AI dubbing studio for $0.1/min
Hey HN！

A few months ago I was trying to dub/translate a pretty simple video from English to Chinese for my parents but soon realized that all of the good solutions like Elevenlabs/Rask.ai/Speechify costs around $2/min. Which means that to translate a 10 minute Youtube video it was going to cost me $20 USD, and that was just a "little" over my budget.

Having worked with similar technologies in the past, I knew that there was nothing too “proprietary” here. It's just Whisper to transcribe, an LLM to translate, some API do TTS and some API to do bg audio extraction + a frontend. And the entire process should cost nearly 0 given how cheap all of those things has gotten, yet… they all still charge around $2/min!

So I decided to build an open-source AI dubbing studio that basically charges as low as I can. Which ended up being around ~$0.1/min.(Hopefully I don’t lose money on this haha) The frontend is built using Nextjs14 using the new RSC and Server Actions, hosted on Vercel. The main complexity here is probably just the “video editor” and real time preview + audio generation, which uses Tonejs! Auth is done with Clerk! Most of the “quick” API calls are done with server actions but there is also a Node server responsible for processes that takes a bit longer like initializing and exporting. Honestly, I'm not sure if that was the best way to do it, but I was familiar with the tech stack so I just went for it haha.

To be 100% real, the product right now is not as feature rich as those alternatives listed above. So if you have the budget, go for those instead!(ie. we have no voice cloning atm) However, it's definitely good enough to dub most simple videos where the information is more important that the expressions(ie. educational, tutorials, building ones). I also put in quite a bit of effort to ensure the UX is great + snappy and personally prefer it over those alternatives listed above.

I dubbed a few good Chinese videos myself into English to demonstrate!

2. Building a real Harry Potter wand ->
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IG1yIAeSae0

3. Making a snake sword out of real snake bones ->
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xb2hjSkrg6k

I think there are countless videos like those above where even when you slap on an AI voice, it still is very entertaining(at least to myself lol). There are also just so much valuable videos in English that'll never get dubbed into other languages because of the costs associated with it.

I'd love some feedback from fellow HN readers. I'm more of a designer than engineer, so I'm feeling a little insecure about the code haha, hence any tips there would be appreciated! Would also love to hear about what you think of the product, your usecases, anything really!

I started training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at 44. I was about 40-50lbs overweight and had never been athletic except for a few seasons of soccer and baseball as a young kid.

I was amazed at how my body responded. It helps that I immediately fell in love with the sport.

However, I found the most important change I made was in my nutrition, which I changed at the same time I started BJJ. Not only did my body really respond to that, I saw dramatic improvements in my mental and emotional health as well.

I'm 51 now and I've easily kept that 40lbs off the whole time.

At least for the work they did, it seems they did all the work for each subject separately. Which is useful, but it's obviously going to constrict the use cases for the technology.

That certainly is.... a take. Still a silly one if you ask me. If that were true they wouldn't fine EU companies either. Yet, that is also happening.
Under GDPR I believe if the data access is from an employee of the company (eg Uber) then there aren’t location checks. (Been a while so I could be mistaken here.)

But if you are subcontracting to an agency you need to list them as Subprocessors in your DPA. So subcontracted support staffing companies for example would be required to be listed and explicitly consented to.

This is all assuming you set up the base contractual protections for the data required to export the data at all, which Iber apparently didn’t do here.

Although I support European privacy laws, I also detest their push for censorship of social media, the arrest of Telegram CEO Pavel Durov, and this feeling that they’re milking US companies for tax revenue. I do think this can end up being overplaying their hand - why should US taxpayers fund NATO and the EU’s defense disproportionately, for example, if the EU is also going to steal from US companies and not holding up classically liberal values like free speech? Is it really in American interest to tolerate this status quo?

> Because consumers will choose the cheaper option almost every time.

Largely true - but the key word is "almost".

> You have to turn a profit and the only way to achieve that is exploitation. You have to take labor and pay less than it's worth and pocket the difference. There's no way around it.

But this is NOT the only way to achieve lower prices. Lower prices can be achieved by simple things like keeping your employee turnover at a minimum, not going through rounds and rounds of layoff+hiring cycles, not wasting time on "performance reviews" and other BS management activities - and generally treating employees and customers as an asset. This is automatic cost savings that can be passed down to the customers.

Do you know why customers are willing to pay higher prices at Trader Joes? It is because the store is always staffed, clean, and full of inventory with happy employees.

There is clearly a higher quality way of winning. The factory-style squeeze and replace seems rather naive and stupid from a branding and long term return perspective.
If someone solved these problems, they wouldn't be selling things on Ebay for the price of a used Honda, they'd be raking money in hand over first.

The free API is amazing I have so many little helper bots that help me automated my life. It's easy better easier and more feature rich than twilio or slack. I made my own stock management bot that ate a screener spreadsheet I upload in the chat and tell me if I should sell my stocks.

There is even that freqtrade bot that runs on telegram, even RSS bots. It really is amazing. So easy to use for chat ops.

I don't know what else you would use the API for.
So what? Whether railroads are critical infrastructure is a totally different question from whether the average American cares about railroads.

Most of us (myself included!) didn't think of grocery store workers as critical, either. We learned that they are during Covid.

(New on my list: The person who refills the toilet paper in the restrooms at work. I saw this guy doing it one day, and it struck me how critical he was - what an absolute catastrophe would happen if nobody did that job. But if you ask the average person, that is a totally unimportant job.)
Considering that I started using Linux in 2008 or so, I feel qualified to disagree with your assertion that 2010 had the best Linux distributions. At least in the case of Fedora, it's better now. Or at least was better a year or two ago before wayland (and the Wayland bugs do keep getting fixed, so it's getting better again).

Several are saying that they've successfully disassembled and reassembled all sorts of IKEA furniture, while others insist that isn't possible.

> The original Green New Deal, the 2006 package of single-payer health care, job guarantees, free college paid by a carbon tax; that’s hard for me to call materialistic.

Sure it's materialistic. By "health care" is meant care of one's physical health; it doesn't provide you with friendship or community. (Indeed, the left has been systematically destroying all private sources of friendship and community, leaving only government work and leftist political activism as "approved" ways to get your social needs met.) Jobs are so you can buy stuff. College is so you can get a higher paying job so you can buy more stuff. To the extent this is to "offset collapsing consumerism", it's by giving people ways to continue consuming.
> Around 18% of EV fires occur while the car is plugged in and charging, but the percentage could be as high as 30%

This says nothing about the incidence of the fires. ICE vehicles also catch fire, sometimes when not running and unoccupied. Without knowing the rates or numbers the figure is meaningless for comparison.
> Coming up with new math at a research level is also just manipulating conceptual objects in your mind. Except this insight doesn't make the average person capable of either.

Yes, it doesn’t make them capable, but it can motivate them to learn how to manipulate conceptual objects. It doesn’t take 1 in million genius to use these things. The path has already been paved by so many people you can follow in their footsteps or blaze your own trail.

If my experience differs from yours, where you claim that something illegal is happening, it obviously suggests that you might be using some kind of shady services. The only time I've had experiences like the one you’re describing is when I was using online shopping or other non-medical services.

If you are so certain that you are right and that you 'know what you are doing online,' have you reported this incident to law enforcement? It would benefit everybody. Could you also specify which healthcare service providers you believe sold your data? This information could help others avoid using them.

On some level I'm not really against it but boy you are very likely to get into the kind of trouble that Mickey does in The Sorcerer's Apprentice if you are not really in control of automated systems. (e.g. you can piss people off with 10 bad posts, with a machine you can really piss people off with 10,000 bad posts)

If he was good at spamming he would be generating cover traffic, that is, 80% or more of what he'd post would be just random run-of-the-mill stuff that would be average in as many ways as you can measure and only a small amount would be "money traffic."

The trouble with fields that are structureless and rapidly growing though is a lack of historical memory. People today are infuriated that their content will be "ripped off" by AI who never got mad when their content was being ripped off by Google, Baidu and such. People who see AI and think it will be great for spamming will have to learn the hard way what successful web spammers knew in 2009.
Hm. I was aware that French law was kind of awful on this, but never investigated the specifics. As, say, a non-EU person, would I be able to bring suit to a French court (and, if that fails, to the CJEU) regarding foreign-intelligence eavesdropping violating my privacy rights? (AFAIU the US answer is that if I’m a foreigner on foreign soil I don’t have any of those).

Are people here treating emails like IM's?

An email is inherently asynchronous. Why would I expect a response to an email before working hours? When did people start confusing them with synchronous communication?
I'd expect the former in British English, because in that standard, grammatically singular nouns that refer to multiple people are conjugated in the plural. The latter would be typical for American English. It's a bit surprising to see the former used by an American author in an American publication, however.

I'd prefer if neither was the case. In the US, you can be certain that both are true.
Discourse is amazing. Some of the best (and worst) tiny communities on the internet are running it.
Skill issue imo. The lower quality means that you need to be careful assembling and disassembly. Brute forcing easily destroys the furniture, often near joint areas.
There's this one Chrome (?) bug I've been experiencing for a long time on Linux.

Every once in a while, the browser detects I'm typing "±±±±±±+..." and writes that to any selected text input. It stops when I type anything, but sometimes comes back rather quickly.

I thought it was a keyboard issue, but it doesn't affect Firefox or other applications, only Chrome based ones like Spotify and VSCode.

I've found no other mention of this on the internet and I'd love to to hunt this down and fix it but have no clue where to start. I guess the first step would be to consistently reproduce the bug...

If you're interested, I screen recorded it happening once. Mind there's music playing: https://youtu.be/S7OGTULLsqg.

My problem is it's overpriced for what you get. I do own an IKEA dresser, was good enough for the price I paid a few years ago, but it's more than doubled in price since then. I have a little $25 bookshelf from Walmart that's sturdier than 80% of the crap at IKEA.

It would be one thing if their furniture was actually cheap (inexpensive), which it used to be, but it's not anymore. Now most of their stuff is way overpriced.
