Found in Translation - OpenHack 2017 in Malmö

Description

This project aims to automate the dubbing of Khan Academy videos into Swedish. The process to do this involves:

1. Download a playlist from YouTube at once.
2. Transcribe speech into English with timestamps (Voice-to-Text).
3. Translate the text into Swedish.
4. Use Speech Synthesize to generate Swedish voice (Text-to-Voice).
5. Mix together the generated audio clips and synchronize the audio to the video.
6. Upload all the updated videos in the playlist at once.

Future improvements

• Better translations as well as Speech synthesize using i.e. Microsoft Cognitive Services.
• More resilient automation.
