Evidence claims:
- [upstream_claim] README: automatically translates and synchronizes audio dialogue into other languages as a command-line tool; author calls it 'pure experimental'; supports multiple translation engines (Meta NLLB, Apertium API) and warns errors can be introduced at each step. · locator: README, intro · source: https://github.com/Softcatala/open-dubbing
- [sourced_fact] README setup: requires accepting pyannote/speaker-diarization-3.1 user conditions on Hugging Face and a Hugging Face token; example: open-dubbing --input_file video.mp4 --target_language=cat. · locator: README, Accept pyannote license · source: https://github.com/Softcatala/open-dubbing
- [sourced_fact] GitHub metadata: Apache-2.0, not archived, last push 2025-07-08. · locator: repository metadata · source: https://github.com/Softcatala/open-dubbing
- [upstream_claim] Research review verdict at export: reviewed (as of 2026-10-17). Recorded by the research pipeline, not a hub review outcome; evidence.review stays unreviewed until an independent reviewer records one.
