Yes, the first few thai videos I tried didn't even offer the cc sub-menu pick. It does seem to support auto-translate FROM other languages INTO thai though. Which some thais might find helpful.

Sorry. Still groggy and jumped to my own meaning of your request. Finally re-reading it I see your question is actually a "Text to Speech" question. So the video is in a non-English language? And assuming English subtitles can be displayed, you want to "convert" those written English subtitles into spoken (audio) English so that someone can hear them? Preferably not sounding like a robot or auto-tuned singer? Is that correct? Or are you looking for something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puccini Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) My apologies for not having given a screen shot with my original post. Here it is now: Source: https://youtu.be/eEWtfFNpFBs There is so much fast talk in this video series that reading the English subtitles gives me little to no chance to actually watch the action in the video. For this reason, it would be nice to have a function for the user to enable text-to-speech so that the English translation of the dialogue in the subtext would play on my monitor's or my phone's speaker.

mtls2005 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) Is there a dubbed version? I couldn't see that they did one. I guess you could feed the .srt file (assuming you can find one) into a text to speech program, but syncing it? Probably impossible. On the plus side, that new feature of adding subtitles has wowed a few thai people I showed it to. Edited January 3, 2022 by mtls2005 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
