## What it does

Splits subtitles at natural boundaries, translates with an LLM in a translate-reflect-adapt loop, aligns timing and optionally dubs with several TTS engines, producing single-line subtitles that read like professional ones. Runs as a local web app; the README includes a prompt you can hand to a computer-using agent to install it.

## Use when

- subtitle and translate a video properly
- dub a video into another language
- fix long, badly split auto-subtitles

## Install

- Claude Code: `git clone https://github.com/Huanshere/VideoLingo.git && cd VideoLingo`
