A YouTube spokesperson toldThe Verge that the company has already been testing out the AI dubbing tool with "hundreds" of creators.
There are a few pretty big limitations with Aloud, according to the FAQ section on its website. The startup's AI-powered tool currently only works with English-language videos and can only dub into two languages, Spanish and Portuguese, at this time. However, with Google's backing and this new partnership with YouTube, it wouldn't be surprising to see Aloud roll out more language options in the near future.
