Dubbing voice library

The voice library keeps a voice for every video, so an actor sounds the same in every episode and every film. Everything stays on your computer, in the app's voice library folder.

Saving and using voices

Save to library on a speaker’s card keeps its sample as a voice; name it after the actor or the character. Library voice gives a speaker a voice from the library. A voice with the speaker’s name is offered first, and a cast (a series, a film’s actors) narrows the list. A speaker you have not named takes the voice’s name; a name you gave it is kept.

Using a library voice copies its sample into the project, so changing or deleting the voice later never changes a dub by itself. When the library has a newer sample of a voice a project uses, the speaker’s card says so and you choose whether to take it.

The Voice library screen

Open Voice library from the dubbing list to see every voice. A voice can have several samples; one of them speaks (Speak from this). Add recording takes a WAV of your own voice, or of a voice actor who agreed to it, so a dub can speak with that voice instead of the original actor’s. Show folder reveals where the library lives.

Back up, share and import

  • Back up saves the whole library to one .voicepack file. Keep it somewhere else; Import puts it back on this or another computer. The screen tells you when the library has changed since its last backup.
  • Share (on a voice or a cast) saves just those voices to a .voicepack for someone else. Sharing a voice cut from a video asks first: anyone with the file can make that voice say anything.
  • Import shows what a pack holds and where each voice came from, and asks you to confirm you have permission. A voice you already have keeps its name and gains the samples it lacked.

Each voice carries its origin — your own, consented, or taken from a video — shown on share and import. A pack holds speaking samples and names, no voiceprints.

Not built yet

Recognising actors automatically from their voice is not part of the app yet; you assign library voices to speakers yourself.

FAQ

Is the voice library uploaded anywhere?
No. It stays in the app's voice library folder on this computer.
Will deleting a voice break my dubs?
No. A project holds its own copy of the sample it uses.
Where do I get the Voice library screen?
From the Dubbing list. It needs a license, like the rest of Dubbing.
