Building Vozo — AI video translation.

Making content global by default.

3× Product Hunt launches

AI dubbing is getting solved.

Video localization isn't.

If viewers hear one language but read another,
the video isn't truly localized.
The next challenge isn't audio.

It's visual context.

Interesting perspective from the leading localization publication:

Jensen’s GDC talk → fully translated into Chinese.

Audio → on-screen.

This wasn’t possible before.

We just hit #2 monthly on Product Hunt (right behind Google’s Stitch 2).

🎉 Vozo Visual Translate just won 👇 on @ProductHunt
🥈 Product #2 of the Month
🥇 SaaS #1 of the Month
🥇 Productivity #1 of the Month

Thank you to everyone who voted, shared, and supported us. 🙏

You can now localize every single layer in video with Vozo — from voices to visuals, including subtitles and on-screen text. All of it.

Let valuable messages reach the world.

🚀 We just hit #1 Product of the Day on Product Hunt!

This is our 3rd PH launch for the same product journey, and the results so far:

🥇 #1 Product of the Day
🥈 #2 Product of the Day / #2 Product of the Month
🥇 #1 Product of the Day (again!)
Super grateful to the PH community ❤️

[CY @LightField]

To show what this makes possible, we translated one of my favorite talks by Geoffrey Hinton -- Will AI outsmart Humans?

It’s exactly the kind of knowledge that should travel far beyond the language it was first spoken in.

For this demo, we translated the video into Chinese. Since many people here are English speakers, I kept the original English audio and only translated the on-screen visuals — so you can directly see what full video translation now makes possible.

🚀 We just launched Vozo Visual Translate on Product Hunt.

And we’re currently #1 on the board.

This is our 3rd PH launch so far:

🥇 Launch #1 → Product of the Day
🥈 Launch #2 → Product of the Month
🚀 Launch #3 → today

This time we tackled the last missing piece of video translation:

translating the video itself.

Not just:
• subtitles
• dubbing
• lip sync

But also on-screen text inside the video.

If you like the idea, we’d really appreciate your support today 👇

You can try Visual Translate today.

We have a free trial if you want to test it on your own videos.

And if you like the idea, we’d really appreciate your support on Product Hunt 🙏

[CY @LightField]

Subtitles are not video translation.

Look at this Prof. Hinton talk. Most of the information is on the slide, not in the speech. But video translators only translate the voice.

So we built Visual Translate -- launching today on Product Hunt 🚀

Show us some love on PH ↓

@TechByMarkandey Thank you Markandey! Really appreciate the support 🙏

We believe video translation shouldn’t stop at subtitles — the visual layer matters too.

Excited to see what creators build with it.

[CY @LightField]

After two PH launches, I’m honestly not sure PH is really a discovery engine anymore.

Both times the first traction wave actually came from outside PH: X, early users, friends

Curious if others saw the same thing?

[CY @LightField]

Preparing for our 3rd Product Hunt launch for Vozo next week 🚀

One thing I’m noticing:

Hunters seem to matter much less than they used to.

Now it feels like:
• Distribution matters more
• Your own audience drives early traction

For founders who launched recently —
what actually made the biggest difference?

[CY @LightField]

@simplydt Agree.

Curious — did your later launches actually perform better than the first?

[CY @LightField]

@TechByMarkandey Thanks! Curious if you’ve launched on Product Hunt before too?

[CY @LightField]

@torziva First launch is always exciting 😄

One thing that helped us:

Try to get your first wave of supporters ready before launch.

The first few hours often determine whether the product gets momentum on PH.

[CY @LightField]

@lukatofocus This is a great way to think about it.

Many founders treat PH like a lottery ticket.

But the teams that do well usually treat it like an iteration loop:

launch → learn → improve → relaunch.

[CY @LightField]

Many people think Product Hunt is a one-time launch.

But most successful products launch multiple times as they evolve.

Next week will be our 3rd PH launch for Vozo.

How many times have you launched there?

[CY @LightField]

@VibeUi_Official Makes sense.

I think PH discovery still matters — but mostly after the first traction wave.

From what I’ve seen, the early momentum usually comes from:

• your audience
• early users
• founder network
Then PH discovery amplifies it.

[CY @LightField]

@simplydt Totally agree.

The first launch tells you if people even care.

The second tells you if the positioning improved.

The third is usually where the product + audience finally align.

PH works much better as a feedback loop than a one-time launch.

[CY @LightField]

For context — this will be our 3rd Product Hunt launch.

Our first two launches:
🥇 #1 Product of the Day
🥈 #2 Product of the Month

More importantly, those launches helped us attract 800K users (directly and indirectly).

From that experience, it feels like distribution matters far more than hunters today.

Curious if other founders noticed the same shift.
