YouTube has speed control, captions, auto-translate — but no accent control. Now it does. Free Chrome extension, on-device AI, one toggle.

Hey PH!

We launched Accent Conversion for meetings back in March. People loved it, but we kept hearing the same request: "Can I use this on YouTube?"

So we went and looked. Pick any popular lecture by a non-native English speaker and scroll to the comments. It's always the same: "Can't understand what he's saying." "Had to watch at 0.75x." "Captions are completely wrong."

Millions of views. Brilliant speakers. Huge chunk of the audience rewinding or just leaving.

That felt wrong. The content is right there. The only thing in the way is accent clarity. So we packaged our on-device AI into a free Chrome extension.

Open a YouTube video, toggle it on, speech gets clearer. That's it.

Ask me anything, I'm here all day.

Comment highlights

Congrats on the launch! This is exactly what YouTube needed, finally being able to actually understand brilliant non-native speakers without rewinding every 10 seconds.

Can I, as a creator, use this as a post-processing tool for my YouTube videos, or on my channel can I enable this tool? Is this tool for viewers or creators?

This is a huge deal for educational content. I teach an Excel for Financial Modelling course on Udemy (https://www.udemy.com/course/excel-for-financial-modelling/) and a big chunk of my students are non-native English speakers working in finance globally. Accent barriers in video-based learning are real, and on-device AI that solves this without requiring the creator to re-record is brilliant. Curious if you're seeing higher retention rates on videos where accent conversion is active?

This is what I can genuinely useful, practical leverage of AI, very nice. I have one question and one suggestion.

  • Question: does it work well also when people are talking on another or only for solo speakers?

  • Suggestion: Make also a funny/gimicky version where everyone can switch their voices to anything they like - I always wanted to sound like British royalty :)

YouTube has had speed control since forever but accent was always the missing piece. I've rewound the same sentence four times trying to catch a word. One toggle sounds right - this doesn't need to be complicated.

You know, 40 seconds of video and everything is clear. The main feature is clear!)

This is one of those apps you only appreciate once you’ve tried it in a noisy environment. Curious how it performs with more complex background noise like cafés or street traffic.

Looks Neat! Can we take it beyond meeting rooms ? Can we use this for voice over for my content, with natural emotion ?

We are Curious how natutal the converted voice sounds across different accents. does it preserve the speaker’s tone or lean more neutral?

love the idea. very useful for native language speakers. what's the accuracy of these models, the cost of a wrong accent can be significant in some use cases like critical meetings.

Most tools focus on captions, but real-time accent normalization in audio addresses a different problem! Curious how it handles heavily accented technical content like coding tutorials or medical lectures where vocabulary matters as much as clarity. Congrats on the launch, team Krisp!

I have struggled in meetings, where people don't have good microphones or are sitting away from the laptop or a lot of background noise, If Krisp can support that as well it will be awesome.

But that will be real time.

Just installed it. Tried it on an NPTEL lecture and before/after is impressive

intresting approach, but I hope it doesn’t distort the speaker’s tone too much. That natural flow is still important for learning.

Cool !! I usually spend half of my time on technical tutorials trying to decipher specific terms that get lost in translation or heavy accents.

Does this handle real time processing well enough ? there is no weird audio lag with the video ? if the sync is tight , this is very useful .

Finally. I spend half my day on YouTube watching technical documentation and deep-dives, and it's a constant struggle when the auto-captions can't parse technical jargon because of a thick accent. I usually end up wasting time rewinding or just giving up on the video entirely.

Seeing this as an on-device Chrome extension is interesting from a performance standpoint. I'm curious about the browser overhead—have you guys noticed any significant impact on CPU or RAM usage during longer 30+ minute lectures?

This is a genuine friction point for the global dev community. Great to see a practical use case for on-device AI that isn't just another chatbot. Good luck with the launch!

Just tried and it's amazing! Can't believe Youtube couldn't come up with this feature all these years!

This feels like when captions first became standard on YouTube. Once you have it you wonder how you watched without it
