Interestingly, I've been getting closer to wanting something like this. The biggest reduction on customer support we've been able to do so far is short screencasts explaining features quickly and clearly. But as Zenbox gets more and more international customers, this works less and less - we get emails asking for support in several different languages pretty frequently now. I'll probably look into Dubjoy, and hope it…

1. the prices get even lower if you need our service regularly. As a reguar customer you'd also get dedicated translators for each language, which means voice consistency across all of your videos.

2. we will. We have a quick demo, but please disregard voice quality on this one http://dubjoy.com/embed_test.html

The sound quality of the voices for the two example dubbed videos is poor, in my opinion. There's a slight echo or white noise over the voice.

I speak Japanese, and thought the Japanese quality wasn't bad at all - at least not in a distracting way. I don't speak Portuguese, and there was a bit more of an echo, but it still didn't sound distracting at all. This also seems like something they can grow with over time - I bought a nice USB mic because I was doing many screencasts, and the quality was much better. I'm sure over time as they grow in translators,…

Video translations are vetted by our trusted reviewers, but this raises a price a bit. Also sound quality can be really good, done by a voice talent, but this also raises a price a bit.

That's awesome, exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for sharing as-is, looking forward to seeing the finished product. Could save us a ton of support work, and possibly even help with conversions!

Hi Sean,

What languages do you guys typically get? My company provides managed services for multi-lingual support teams in the tech area. We can normally get the FIGS (French, Italian, German, Spanish) all out of the same office. Let me know if you're interested in hearing more. Contact details are in my user profile.
