Hi everyone, I’m the maker of AniCanto.
I started this for my kids. After our family moved overseas, they had fewer opportunities to hear Hong Kong Cantonese and read Chinese. They love Japanese anime, so I wondered whether I could use that interest to help them stay connected to the language.
For anime fans, AniCanto can create English, Cantonese or Mandarin dubbing on your own device. You can also compare subtitles, switch audio tracks and replay individual lines to explore Cantonese or Mandarin through stories you already enjoy. Import videos you have the right to use; AniCanto does not provide an anime catalogue.
The Mac and Windows version began as an open-source hobby project. Bringing it to iPhone and iPad meant working within much tighter memory limits, testing lighter local models and spending far too long listening to the same test clips. AI dubbing requires compatible hardware and downloaded models; supported older devices can use system-voice read-aloud features.
The basic mode is free, with an optional one-time purchase for Expert settings. AI still makes mistakes, and the results vary with the source material and model.
I’d love to hear how the English dubbing sounds to you, and whether the learning tools help you practise Cantonese or Mandarin. Thanks for taking a look!
