How VoiceCheap works
VoiceCheap keeps transcription, translation, voice generation, SmartSync timing, delivery settings, exports, and publishing in one workflow. You do not need to move between separate subtitle, dubbing, and publishing tools to finish a multilingual project.Two main ways to work in VoiceCheap
The rest of this page focuses on the full dubbing project flow.
Full dubbing project workflow
1
Import media
Start with a local video or audio file, or import supported content from YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X/Twitter, Google Drive, or another
public link when that source is available in your workflow.
2
Set the project context
Choose a target language, optionally confirm the original language, name the project, and tell VoiceCheap how many speakers are present if
you want better speaker diarization. You can also use your saved brand vocabulary or provide an existing SRT file at this stage.
3
Transcribe the source
VoiceCheap starts transcription first. If the primary provider fails, the workflow can fall back between supported transcription providers before the project moves on.
4
Review the source project
After transcription, the project page becomes the main place to check speaker segmentation, confirm the source text, and prepare dubbing
settings, voices, and instructions before you launch the translated output. VoiceCheap may also highlight original segments that look
suspicious so you can review likely transcription issues first.
5
Translate and generate audio
The source transcript is translated into the target language, then VoiceCheap creates dubbed audio using the voice strategy you selected. SmartSync is part of this step, so the translated speech is adjusted to fit the original timing more naturally.
6
Refine timing and delivery
Review the translated result, compare source and target segments, use project actions such as replace-all or translation time skip, decide
whether subtitles are needed, and enable optional lip sync if the voice and timing already sound right.
7
Review, export, or publish
Download the original or translated assets, export subtitles or JSON, copy hosted output links, create dynamic subtitles, or publish through
Smart Publish when connected channels are configured.
