For creators

Your channel already travels. Your language doesn’t.

Most of the people who would love your work will never find it, because it only exists in one language. Octavia takes the video you already made and gives it back to you in 60+ languages — in your own voice, at your own pace, with your soundtrack intact.

The problem

What gets in the way

The specific reasons this content usually stays in one language.

Subtitles cap your ceiling

A large share of viewers will not watch a video they have to read. Subtitles widen the door; they do not open it.

Re-recording does not scale

Nobody is re-shooting a twelve-minute video eight times. That is why most channels stay in one language forever.

A second channel starts at zero

Launching a language with three videos looks abandoned. Depth is what makes a new-language channel look alive.

Capabilities

What Octavia does about it

The parts of the platform that matter for this work, rather than the full feature list.

Your voice, not a stand-in

Voice preservation carries your tone, energy and delivery into every language, so subscribers still hear you rather than a narrator.

Keep your soundtrack

Magic Mode separates dialogue from music and effects, so the track and atmosphere you chose survive the dub instead of being replaced by silence.

Never sped up to fit

Character-aware timing keeps speech natural rather than compressing it into the original duration, which is what makes most dubs sound rushed.

Collabs stay legible

Multi-speaker diarization gives each person their own voice, so podcasts, interviews and guest videos still play as conversations.

Captions that pass

Styled, word-level subtitles for muted feeds, plus translated tracks and transcripts for search.

Back catalogue in batches

Process a whole library at once and release it on a schedule, so a new-language channel launches with depth rather than three videos.

Workflow

How it runs

Four steps from the file you already have to every language you need.

Step 01

Upload the finished cut

Start from the master you already exported. No re-shooting, no re-recording.

Step 02

Check the transcript

Fix names, product terms and channel in-jokes once, before anything is translated.

Step 03

Pick your languages

Choose from 60+. Review the translation before a single second of audio is generated.

Step 04

Export and publish

Dubbed audio, subtitle tracks and transcripts, ready for every platform.

FAQ

Questions worth asking

Including the ones where the honest answer is a limitation.

Will it still sound like me?

Voice preservation is built to carry your tone, pacing and delivery rather than substitute a generic narrator. You can also assign a professional voice per language if you would rather not use a synthetic version of your own — some creators prefer that, particularly for languages they do not speak at all.

What happens to my background music?

Magic Mode separates dialogue from music and effects, so the new narration sits over your original bed. This matters more than people expect: strip the soundtrack and the localized version feels cheaper than the original, even when the translation is perfect.

Should I dub or just add subtitles?

Both, ideally. Subtitles are cheap, improve discovery because platforms index caption text, and work in muted feeds. Dubbed audio is what actually lifts watch time in a market, because viewers can watch instead of read. Most creators subtitle everything and dub the videos that matter.

Do I need a separate channel per language?

For anything beyond a couple of languages, yes. A dedicated channel or feed per language can be discovered by people browsing in that language and accumulates its own audience, which multi-track audio hidden behind a selector cannot do.
