Translate your YouTube videos - Swahili to English, or English to Swahili
Paste a YouTube link and Kauli fetches the audio itself - no downloading, re-uploading, or juggling files. Get a translated transcript, subtitles, or a fully dubbed track back, reviewed by a real editor before it's marked ready.
No card required to try it. Pay only for what you process, when you're ready.
Built for how creators actually work
Paste a link, not a file
Give us a YouTube URL and we fetch the audio directly - the upload step most tools force on you just isn't there.
Auto-import for a whole channel
Connect a channel or playlist and new public uploads show up as one-click pending orders in your dashboard - you decide what actually gets processed and paid for, nothing runs automatically.
Every order human-reviewed
An AI draft is fast, but a real editor checks it against the source audio before it's marked ready - accuracy your audience will actually notice.

Questions you probably have
Do I have to download my video first?
No - paste the YouTube URL and we fetch the audio directly. The download-then-reupload step most tools force on you just isn't there.
Can I connect my whole channel instead of pasting links one at a time?
Yes - connect a channel or playlist and new public uploads show up as one-click pending orders in your dashboard. Nothing runs (or gets billed) automatically - you decide what actually gets processed.
Will this work better than YouTube's own built-in auto-dub?
YouTube's auto-dub is a genuinely useful, free starting point for calm, single-speaker content. It reliably struggles with fast dialogue, overlapping speakers, and Sheng-inflected phrasing - exactly where a real editor checking every line against the source audio earns its cost, which is what every Kauli order gets regardless of plan.
Do I get a downloadable dubbed video file, or just audio?
Burned-in captions or a fully dubbed video file are included on Premium, or available as a $0.30/minute add-on on any plan - plain audio, transcript and subtitles are included on every plan.
What if my video mixes Sheng and English mid-sentence?
That's exactly the kind of code-switching a generic AI translation tends to mishandle - it's why a real editor checks every line against the source audio on every order, not just the ones that look risky at a glance.
