A translation engine has to fill those gaps from context, and it only hears what is in the recording, so clear, complete sentences raise accuracy more than anything else. Everyday speech also differs from the formal language [2], which is why a casual voice note is harder than a lecture. ### What to check in the English Most errors come from a few predictable places: - Pronouns: 'dia' can come out as he or she, and 'kami' and 'kita' both become 'we' [1]. - Time: without a word such as 'sudah' or 'besok', past and future can blur. - Titles: 'Pak', 'Bu', 'Mas' and 'Mbak' carry respect that plain English drops. - Names, numbers and prices: worth verifying against the original, as with any language. ### What happens to the original audio The Indonesian speech is transcribed and translated, then each speaker is re-voiced in English with a clone of their voice and mixed back with the background sound [3]. Turn on Drop background audio to keep only the English voices.

A: Upload or record the Indonesian in Kenerate's AI Dubbing, leave the spoken language on Auto-detect or pin Indonesian, choose English and download. You get English speech in the speaker's own voice. Q: Does it translate live, while I talk? A: No. It dubs saved files and recordings, so you wait for the result instead of hearing English as you speak. For a live conversation, use a phone app such as Google Translate's conversation mode. Q: Does it give text or audio? A: Audio. You get spoken English in the same voice, not a text translation. If you want to read English on a video, dub it first and then add Auto Subtitles to the English version. Q: Can I translate English voice to Indonesian too? A: Yes. Indonesian is one of the 33 target languages and English is a source language, so upload English speech and pick Indonesian. Q: Which files can I upload? A: Audio files up to 50 MB and videos up to 500 MB, up to 15 minutes each. You can also record audio with the mic in the browser. Q: Will the English sound like the original speaker? A: Yes. Each speaker is re-voiced with a clone of their own voice, up to 32 speakers in one file, so a conversation keeps its back-and-forth. Q: Does it work with Javanese or Sundanese? A: No. Indonesian and Malay are source languages, but Javanese and Sundanese aren't. A few local words in Indonesian speech may pass, so check them in the result. Q: How much does Indonesian to English voice translation cost? A: 3 credits per second of the source file: a 30-second voice note is 90 credits and a minute is 180. The cap is 15 minutes per file, and if a dub fails the credits are refunded automatically. Q: Is it free? A: It's free to try, not free to use. New accounts get 25 free credits, about 8 seconds of speech. After that you pay by length with one-time credit packs that never expire. ## Related pages - Translate audio: https://kenerateai.com/translate-audio - Video translator: https://kenerateai.com/video-translator - AI dubbing: https://kenerateai.com/ai-dubbing - Translate video to English: https://kenerateai.com/translate-video-to-english - Tagalog to English: https://kenerateai.com/tagalog-to-english-voice-translation - Indonesian text to speech: https://kenerateai.com/indonesian-text-to-speech ## Sources - Kenerate AI Dubbing (tool): https://kenerateai.com/app/tool/dubbing - ElevenLabs — Dubbing docs: https://elevenlabs.io/docs/capabilities/dubbing - Wikipedia — Indonesian language: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesian_language - Wikipedia — Indonesian grammar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesian_grammar - Google Translate Help — live translate: https://support.google.com/translate/answer/6142474
