What the company did
Dubjoy was a Y Combinator Summer 2011 startup that translated and voice-dubbed videos into any language, right in the browser. Its Chrome extension added a 'Translate with Dubjoy' button to every YouTube video; users could record voice-overs in the browser to dub videos into other languages. It targeted language service providers, voice actors, translators, and interpreters.
