Translate audio using AI

n8n template #2083

Summary

Overview This workflow takes some French text, and translates it into spoken audio. It then transcribes that audio back into text, translates it into English and generates an audio file of the English text. To do so, it uses ElevenLabs (which has a free tier) and OpenAI. Setup These steps should only take a few minutes: In ElevenLabs, add a voice to your voice lab and copy its ID. Add it to the 'Set voice ID' node Get your ElevenLabs API key (click your name in the bottom-left of ElevenLabs and choose ‘profile’) In the 'Generate French audio' node, create a new header auth cred. Set the name to xi-api-key and the value to your API key In the 'credential' field of the 'Transcribe audio' node,

How to set it up

Open template #2083 on n8n.io and click Use for free, or copy the template JSON and paste it onto an empty canvas in n8n.
Create a credential under Credentials → Add credential: OpenAI Chat Model. Then open each of those nodes and pick the credential.
Check the model in the OpenAI Chat Model node. The template may point at a model your account can't use; swap it for one you have access to.
Click Execute workflow and step through each node's output to confirm the data looks right.
Toggle the workflow to Active so its trigger runs on its own.
