Overview
YouDub Desktop is an Electron app that imports a local video or a YouTube/Bilibili link, transcribes it with Whisper, translates it through a configured LLM provider, and clones the original voice sentence by sentence. It outputs subtitles, a dubbed track with optional background audio retained, or both. Workflows are node graphs built on a Cordis plugin runtime, with human review steps and an /api/v2 HTTP interface.
Who it is for: Creators localizing videos into dubbed, subtitled versions on their own machine
Strengths
- Per-sentence voice cloning uses the matching source audio clip as reference
- Three output modes: burned-in subtitles, dubbing, or dubbed video with subtitles
- Node workflows support branching, merging and manual correction; tasks can be retried from a given step
- Prebuilt Windows EXE and macOS arm64 DMG installers; Apache-2.0
Weaknesses
- Language catalog covers only English, Chinese and Japanese, depending on provider
- Requires a configured translation model provider and API key
- No published plugin marketplace; remote GitHub/npm plugin install not yet verified
- README and docs are primarily in Chinese; macOS build is Apple Silicon only
What it needs
- Needs FFmpeg, yt-dlp, Node.js, Python, Whisper, Demucs, NLTK Punkt, LLM translation provider
- Models: Whisper, Qwen alignment, Demucs
