What EzDubs does

EzDubs is a real-time speech translator. Our proprietary models translate speech without waiting for complete sentences, clone voices on the fly (without enrollments), and even replicate emotions in the translated language. Our iOS and Android apps translate live phone calls, automatically dub voice messages, and auto-translate text conversations so that you can communicate seamlessly across languages, with your voice and emotions. Thousands of users use EzDubs to communicate with friends and family who speak different languages, manage offshore teams, and even have relationships across languages.

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built EzDubs to translate speech in real time, not waiting for full sentences. Our tech clones voices instantly without prior enrollment and even captures emotion in the translated speech. Our app works on iOS and Android for live calls, voice messages, and text conversations, breaking down language barriers for people who talk often across languages.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, and the company would remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we have built our team and product so far, and it puts us close to customers, partners, and top AI talent we work with.
