Build an AI dubbing pipeline with faster-whisper, XTTS-v2, and FFmpeg

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

A developer tutorial walks through creating a script that transcribes English video audio with faster-whisper, translates it via an LLM, and synthesizes Spanish speech with voice cloning using XTTS-v2.
