About

EzDubs is a real-time speech translator. Our proprietary models translate speech without waiting for complete sentences, clone voices on the fly (without enrollments), and even replicate emotions in the translated language. Our iOS and Android apps translate live phone calls, automatically dub voice messages, and auto-translate text conversations so that you can communicate seamlessly across languages, with your voice and emotions. Thousands of users use EzDubs to communicate with friends and family who speak different languages, manage offshore teams, and even have relationships across languages.
