About PolarnikTTS
PolarnikTTS turns YouTube subtitles into a voice-over, TV-style: the original audio is ducked and a synthesized narrator reads the subtitles in your language, in sync with the video.
- Works ahead of the playhead: rebuilds sentences, translates them with context and synthesizes speech before it is due, so the narrator never lags.
- Choice of TTS engine: Microsoft Edge neural voices, OpenAI, Google Gemini, ElevenLabs - or fully local on your own GPU (Chatterbox, XTTS-v2) with voice cloning from a 10-second sample.
- Translation by YouTube or by an LLM (OpenAI, Gemini, Claude, DeepL, local Ollama) that restores punctuation and natural word order.
- In-player panel in YouTube style: on/off, engine, voice, rate, volume, ducking, offset, "slow the video down when the narrator falls behind".
- Interface in 23 languages, voice-over in 47; voices follow the chosen language.
