Every film a child picks, in a voice they understand.

dubidu turns the subtitles of a streaming film into spoken dialogue, live, in the child’s own language. One click in Chrome, on the services the family already pays for. Launching in Romania. Built for Europe.

Under 1 centwhat one hour of dubbing costs us in servers (estimate).

From €5.99a month per family, no contract.

01The problem

Friday night. A film the whole family wants to see. One of them can’t read.

Ana is six. Tonight’s film is in English, with Romanian subtitles.

She can’t read yet. So her mother reads every line out loud, over the actors, for an hour and a half. Or they pick something else.

Streaming services dub their biggest hits into their biggest languages. When a film has no dub in the family’s language, the youngest viewer is left out. In countries that subtitle rather than dub, families with small children run into this every week.

64%of the 436 Netflix family titles we checked in Romania have no Romanian audio track. Measured by dubidu, live count.

What Ana sees

Un prieten scump? Un suflet pereche?

02The solution, live

One scene. 17 languages. Generated while you watch.

Pick a language. Dubnow writes every voice of this scene from scratch, right now, inside your own browser, and plays it over the original music and sound. Nothing here is pre-recorded, and no server is involved.

Choose a language to start. The first time, your browser downloads Dubnow (398 MB, once).

Times measured in your browser. The engine is downloaded from Hugging Face on the first click and kept by the browser; then it runs on your graphics card, or on the processor when there is none. Fastest in Chrome or Edge on a computer. In the product, lines come from the subtitles on screen; here they are typed in. Sintel © Blender Foundation, CC BY 3.0.

03Technology

Four steps, a few seconds ahead of the scene. On an engine we own.

No studio, no per-minute AI fees. dubidu reads, casts, speaks and mixes on its own, for any film the family opens.

STEP 1

Reads

The Chrome extension picks up the upcoming subtitle lines of the film the family is watching.

STEP 2

Casts

Every line gets a speaker: who talks, child or adult, which voice. Popular films get a cast prepared in advance.

STEP 3

Speaks

Dubnow, our engine, turns each line into a voice on an ordinary server, faster than the scene plays.

STEP 4

Mixes

The voice plays at the right moment. The original dialogue goes quiet; music and effects stay.

A cast for every film

Characters keep their own voice from the first line to the last, so a child can follow who is talking.

Sintelyoung woman · warm, clear voice

Gatekeeperold man · deep, slow voice

Narratoradult · calm, even voice

Faster than the film

For one second of speech, Dubnow needs about a third of a second on four ordinary processor threads. In the browser it is faster still.

languages, one model

A new market needs voices and a few pronunciation rules, not a new engine.

families on one server

watching at the same time in a simulated load test, with no line late. Servers start and stop with demand.

per-minute voice fees

We run our own engine, so the cost of a dubbed hour does not follow a supplier’s price list.

voices today

Designed in-house. Voices recorded with actors in our own studio app are in production.

The 31 languages Dubnow speaks today

All of them run on one model; there is no separate model per language. Romanian is tuned by ear, with its own spelling rules. The others run as the model was published and still need checks by native speakers before a launch.

04Business

Families pay monthly. Almost all of it stays.

Three plans, priced by hours of dubbing a month. After card fees, tax and servers, more than nine euros out of every ten remain with the business, even if a family uses every hour of the plan.

Start

€5.99 / month

10 hours of dubbing · 1 screen

We keep €5.59 (93%). Card fees, tax and servers take €0.40.

Familie

€9.99 / month

20 hours of dubbing · 2 screens

We keep €9.43 (94%). Card fees, tax and servers take €0.56.

Maxi

€14.99 / month

40 hours of dubbing · 4 screens

We keep €14.18 (95%). Card fees, tax and servers take €0.81.

If this many families subscribe to the Start plan

Estimate: card fees 1.25% + €0.20, 1% income tax, one €79/month server per 120 families, €100/month other running costs. Before salaries and marketing. The company is not VAT registered today.

Romania is the first country. The engine already covers 24 more.

Every new country runs on the same extension, the same servers and the same billing. What changes is the language, the voices and the marketing. Tap a country.

Voices in the browser

Dubnow inside Chrome: almost no server cost per hour, and room for every language and every film.

07Legal

Built to stay inside Romanian and EU law. Open about what is still being checked.

In November 2026 we reviewed dubidu against Romanian copyright law, the Civil Code, GDPR, the Romanian e-privacy law and the EU AI Act. This is the summary. The full review and a lawyer’s opinion belong in the data room.

Private use, at the family’s request

The subscriber starts the dub on their own account, for their own household. dubidu does not broadcast or publish anything.

No dub is saved or shared

Each voice is generated for one viewer, kept in memory while it plays and never written to a file or offered to anyone else.

No protection is bypassed

The extension reads only the subtitle text the player already shows. It never touches encrypted video or audio.

Voices with consent

Actors record only under a written contract that names the uses of their voice. No real person’s voice is copied without one.

Little data, never sold

We keep what the service needs to run an account and a payment, and sell nothing about customers or what they watch.

Ready for the AI Act

Dubnow is used under an open licence that allows commercial use. Machine-readable marking of synthetic voices is in progress, ahead of the 2 December 2026 deadline.

Open points, with counsel

No law we reviewed forbids what dubidu does. Two questions still need a lawyer’s opinion, and we would rather you hear them from us.

Is a live voice reading a temporary technical copy?Our position is that it is, which the law allows for lawful use. A court could instead see it as a new reproduction of the subtitle text.
The streaming services’ own termsTheir terms limit how subscribers may use their apps. That contract is between the subscriber and the service; we state the commercial risk openly, to customers and to you.

08The opportunity

Take dubidu to the next market, with the founder at your side for the hand-over.

How

Part tied to recurring revenue after closing
A paid transition period with the founder

Good to know

It relies on streaming services showing subtitles in the browser.

09The price

One price, paid in three parts. Much of it once the business proves itself.

A buyer pays at closing for revenue already earned, and for the rest as it keeps coming in. The amounts are shared after an NDA, together with the Stripe history.

PART 1

At closing

Paid when the assets change hands, set against the recurring revenue verified in Stripe over the months before the sale.

PART 2

Earn-out over 12 months

Paid from escrow during the first year, as long as monthly recurring revenue holds at the level agreed in the contract.

PART 3

Paid transition

Four to six months of the founder’s time: the engine, the voices, the servers, the catalogue and every account handed over properly.

Asking price, all three parts

Open to discussing the split. Payment through escrow, as an asset sale under Romanian law.
