🌟 Overview (Try VL Now!)

VideoLingo is an all-in-one video translation, localization, and dubbing tool aimed at generating Netflix-quality subtitles. It eliminates stiff machine translations and multi-line subtitles while adding high-quality dubbing, enabling global knowledge sharing across language barriers.

Key features:

• 🎥 YouTube video download via yt-dlp

• 🎙️ Word-level and Low-illusion subtitle recognition with WhisperX

• 📝 NLP and AI-powered subtitle segmentation

• 📚 Custom + AI-generated terminology for coherent translation

• 🔄 3-step Translate-Reflect-Adaptation for cinematic quality

• ✅ Netflix-standard, Single-line subtitles Only

• 🗣️ Dubbing with GPT-SoVITS, Azure, OpenAI, and more

• 🚀 One-click startup and processing in Streamlit

• 🌍 Multi-language support in Streamlit UI

• 📝 Detailed logging with progress resumption

• 🔍 Model searchbox with API auto-fetch — search and filter from your provider's full model list

• ⏯️ Task control — pause, resume, or stop processing at any step

Difference from similar projects: Single-line subtitles only, superior translation quality, seamless dubbing experience

Language Support

Input Language Support(more to come):

🇺🇸 English 🤩 | 🇷🇺 Russian 😊 | 🇫🇷 French 🤩 | 🇩🇪 German 🤩 | 🇮🇹 Italian 🤩 | 🇪🇸 Spanish 🤩 | 🇯🇵 Japanese 😐 | 🇨🇳 Chinese* 😊

*Chinese uses a separate punctuation-enhanced whisper model, for now...

Translation supports all languages, while dubbing language depends on the chosen TTS method.

Installation

Meet any problem? Chat with our free online AI agent here to help you.

Note: For Windows users with NVIDIA GPU, follow these steps before installation:

1. Install CUDA Toolkit 12.6
2. Install CUDNN 9.3.0
3. Add C:\Program Files\NVIDIA\CUDNN\v9.3\bin\12.6 to your system PATH
4. Restart your computer

Note: FFmpeg is required. Please install it via package managers:

• Windows: choco install ffmpeg (via Chocolatey)
• macOS: brew install ffmpeg (via Homebrew)
• Linux: sudo apt install ffmpeg (Debian/Ubuntu)

Option A: Using uv (Recommended, No Anaconda Required)

uv automatically downloads Python 3.10 and creates an isolated environment — no need to install Python or Anaconda yourself.

1. Clone the repository

bashCopy
git clone https://github.com/Huanshere/VideoLingo.git
cd VideoLingo

2. One-command setup (installs uv + Python 3.10 + all dependencies)

bashCopy
python setup_env.py

3. Start the application

bashCopy
.venv\Scripts\streamlit run st.py        # Windows
.venv/bin/streamlit run st.py            # macOS / Linux

Or double-click OneKeyStart_uv.bat on Windows.

Option B: Using Conda

⚠️ Not recommended. This method will not be maintained going forward. Please use uv (Option A) above.

<details> <summary>Click to expand Conda installation steps</summary>

1. Clone the repository

bashCopy
git clone https://github.com/Huanshere/VideoLingo.git
cd VideoLingo

2. Install dependencies (requires python=3.10)

bashCopy
conda create -n videolingo python=3.10.0 -y
conda activate videolingo
python install.py

3. Start the application

bashCopy
streamlit run st.py

</details>

Docker

Alternatively, you can use Docker (requires CUDA 12.4 and NVIDIA Driver version >550), see Docker docs:

bashCopy
docker build -t videolingo .
docker run -d -p 8501:8501 --gpus all videolingo

APIs

VideoLingo supports OpenAI-Like API format and various TTS interfaces:

• LLM: claude-sonnet-4.6, gpt-5.4, gemini-3.1-pro, deepseek-v3, grok-4.1, ... (sorted by quality; for budget options try gemini-3-flash or gpt-5.4-mini)
• WhisperX: Run whisperX (large-v3) locally or use 302.ai API
• TTS: azure-tts, openai-tts, siliconflow-fishtts, fish-tts, GPT-SoVITS, edge-tts, *custom-tts(You can modify your own TTS in custom_tts.py!)

Note: VideoLingo works with 302.ai - one API key for all services (LLM, WhisperX, TTS). Or run locally with Ollama and Edge-TTS for free, no API needed!

For detailed installation, API configuration, and batch mode instructions, please refer to the documentation: English | 中文

Current Limitations

1. WhisperX transcription performance may be affected by video background noise, as it uses wav2vac model for alignment. For videos with loud background music, please enable Voice Separation Enhancement. Additionally, subtitles ending with numbers or special characters may be truncated early due to wav2vac's inability to map numeric characters (e.g., "1") to their spoken form ("one").

2. Using weaker models can lead to errors during processes due to strict JSON format requirements for responses (tried my best to prompt llm😊). If this error occurs, please delete the output folder and retry with a different LLM, otherwise repeated execution will read the previous erroneous response causing the same error.

3. The dubbing feature may not be 100% perfect due to differences in speech rates and intonation between languages, as well as the impact of the translation step. However, this project has implemented extensive engineering processing for speech rates to ensure the best possible dubbing results.

4. Multilingual video transcription recognition will only retain the main language. This is because whisperX uses a specialized model for a single language when forcibly aligning word-level subtitles, and will delete unrecognized languages.

5. For now, cannot dub multiple characters separately, as whisperX's speaker distinction capability is not sufficiently reliable.
