It proposes innovative strategies for translating English video content into Indian regional languages, leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as machine translation, speech recognition, and text-to-speech synthesis. The suggested approach involves a systematic four-phase process, encompassing audio separation, text conversion, machine translation, and speech synthesis. [1] By utilizing open-source tools like IBM's Watson supercomputer and the Flite engine from Carnegie Mellon University, the system achieves a commendable 79% accuracy in terms of naturalness and fluency, as evaluated by native speakers. However, challenges persist in handling multi-speaker conversations and accommodating a broader range of Indian languages. Despite these limitations, the research lays a solid foundation for future advancements in the field. By fostering cross-cultural communication and knowledge dissemination, the proposed solution holds the potential to bridge linguistic barriers, empower marginalized communities, and foster an inclusive digital ecosystem in India.
