Convert a Swahili video to English - or English to Swahili, or Kikuyu - checked line by line
An AI draft translates fast, but a real editor checks every line against the source audio before it's marked ready - a translated transcript, subtitles, or a fully dubbed track, whichever your video actually needs. Based in Kenya, built for Swahili, Kikuyu and English specifically, not a generic hundred-language tool.
No card required to try it. Pay only for what you process, when you're ready.
Built for real translation work, not a generic tool
Human-reviewed, not just machine-translated
An AI draft is fast, but a real editor checks it against the source audio line by line before it's marked ready - accuracy that matters when a mistranslation changes what was actually said.
Transcript, subtitles, or a full dub
Pick the actual deliverable your video needs - a translated transcript for reading, subtitles for the video itself, or a fully dubbed track.
Swahili and Kikuyu specifically, not an afterthought
Kikuyu goes through real human transcription and translation (no automated speech-recognition model supports it yet), not a lower-quality automated fallback bolted onto a tool built for other languages.

Questions you probably have
How do I convert a Swahili video to English?
Upload the file or paste a YouTube link, pick English as the target language and the deliverable you need - a translated transcript, subtitles, or a fully dubbed track - and submit. An AI draft runs first, then a real editor checks it against the source audio line by line before it's marked ready.
Do you translate text documents, or only audio/video?
Audio and video only - Kauli transcribes the spoken audio first, then translates that. There's no standalone document-translation feature.
Can I get just a translated transcript, without subtitles or a dub?
Yes - pick the actual deliverable your project needs when you submit an order: a translated transcript, subtitles, or a fully dubbed track.
How is Kikuyu translation handled?
Kikuyu goes through real human transcription first (no automated speech-recognition model supports it yet), then the same AI-assisted translation and human-review pipeline as every other language.
Is the translation literal, or does it read naturally?
A real editor checks it reads the way an actual speaker would say it, not the way a translation engine assembled it - a literal word-for-word translation often misses idioms entirely, which is exactly what the human pass catches.
