Subtitles — standalone caption & translate product
New /dashboard/subtitles panel and full API surface for delivering subtitle files from any uploaded video or audio. Two priced modes: caption-only (30 credits per minute — the cheapest tier on the platform, for users who only want a transcript in the source language) and translate (+60 credits per minute per target language). Every translate job also ships a bilingual SRT (target on top, source below) for free. Files-only delivery — .srt / .vtt / .txt and bilingual SRT. No video re-encoding, no burnt-in pixels. Subtitles on every completed dub job are free re-exports. New subtitle.done / subtitle.failed / subtitle.batch.completed webhooks for API parity with dub and TTS.

Traxlate Voices — premium TTS, public launch
Standalone text-to-speech product with ten named voices, 31 languages, and voice cloning from a three-second clip. Pricing starts at 5 credits per 1,000 characters — roughly six times cheaper than premium TTS competitors. Cross-lingual voice transfer is the default behavior (any clone speaks any of the 31 languages without retraining). Includes a public try-it-now widget on the /voices page so visitors can render their own scripts without signing up.
- new
Word-level fine-tune for TTS renders
After any non-streaming TTS render, open the editor to adjust pitch, speed, gain, or surrounding pauses on individual words. Edits land instantly on the existing render — no re-rendering, no extra credits within the 12-hour retention window. The feature most premium TTS providers don't offer at all.
- new
Reference-based emotion transfer for TTS
Eight baked-in delivery emotions (calm, warm, excited, urgent, sad, whisper, shout, and neutral) plus user-uploaded references: drop a five-second clip of any delivery style and apply that exact style on top of any voice in any language. Composes cleanly with voice cloning — the identity stays yours, the delivery becomes theirs.
- new
Streaming TTS — playback starts at the first phrase
New /api/v1/tts/synth/stream endpoint streams the audio as it's rendered — players begin playback the moment the first phrase is ready, rather than waiting for the full render. Built for conversational agents and interactive applications where every millisecond of latency is felt.
- new
Studio mode: the deliberate-take tier
Studio tier renders perform several takes per phrase and pick the cleanest one — eliminating the small glitches and pacing wobbles that occasionally surface on single-take TTS. Available for both preset and cloned voices.
- new
Multi-target translation + dub batches
A single source — paragraph, document, video — now fans out into multiple target languages in one submit. Per-target credits, per-target progress, per-target download. A new batch detail page shows live progress across siblings; a 'Download all (.zip)' endpoint bundles completed children. Backwards compatible: single-target jobs render unchanged.
- improved
Dub voice consistency: speaker-count hint + auto-merge
Eliminated the most common cause of mid-video voice drift — speaker fragmentation that splits one real person into multiple speakers. The dub console now lets users set the expected speaker count up front, and a defensive auto-merge step folds stray fragments into their nearest neighbour. The translation editor speaker chips also got a Merge → dropdown to recover from any remaining splits manually.
- new
Dub pacing modes: lip-sync vs natural
New pacing parameter on dub jobs. Lip-sync (default) keeps the existing tight-alignment behaviour for face-to-camera content. Natural lets target-language speech sit at its native pace, source pauses are absorbed, breath and tone survive — at the cost of slight timing drift. Best for narration, documentary, and explainer content that doesn't have to lip-sync.
- new
Smarter timing fit for overrunning dub segments
After the first timing pass, any segment that overruns its source slot is automatically tightened up and re-fitted — capped so the dub never sounds chipmunky. Catches the rushed-segment artefact that used to surface on Spanish/Italian/German dubs of English source.
- improved
Dub: faster multi-target jobs and re-dubs
Audio extraction and music-vs-speech separation are now cached per video. The second and subsequent siblings of a multi-target dub batch — or re-dubs of the same upload — skip the up-front work entirely. Saves roughly 30 to 50 seconds per sibling.
- improved
Dub: smarter speech-vs-music handling
Each upload is now auto-classified as 'clean speech', 'music likely', or 'mixed'. Clean-speech clips skip the music-separation step entirely, saving ~25-30 seconds per job. Music or mixed audio still goes through full separation to keep the score independent of the voice. Conservative by default — when in doubt, we keep the music safely separated.
- new
Webhooks: batch.completed for translations + dubs, tts.done/tts.failed
When a multi-target translation or dub batch's last child reaches a terminal state, a single batch.completed event fires with an aggregate payload (target count, done/failed counts, totals, per-child summaries). TTS renders fire tts.done with an audio_url and tts.failed on engine failure. Idempotency latched at the database level so concurrent pollers cannot fire duplicate events.
