# 🎙️ Apni Awaaz

**Dub English video into the Hindi people actually speak.**

Most Hindi dubs use शुद्ध हिंदी — stiff, Sanskritized language no one speaks at home.  
Apni Awaaz translates into everyday Hindustani — the natural mix your family actually uses.

| Official dub | Apni Awaaz |
|---|---|
| "मुझे इस विषय पर विचार करने दीजिए" | "सोचने दे एक second" |
| "यह अत्यंत मूल्यवान है" | "बहुत महँगा है यार" |

## Pipeline

1. **Whisper medium** — transcribe English with timestamps  
2. **Qwen 2.5 7B** — translate to colloquial Hindi (the magic layer)  
3. **Edge TTS** — generate natural Hindi speech  
4. **ffmpeg** — stitch and merge back onto video  

Total: ~8B params (well under the 32B cap)
