Introduction
Translate Video takes any video, yours or one made in Arcads, and returns it in another language, either audio-only or with full lip sync matched to the new words. It offers 176 language and accent options, and one run can translate into several languages at once.
Insight: Clean audio, one clear speaker and a visible face give the best lip sync.
