Who a Somali dub actually reaches
22M speakers across Somalia, Somaliland, eastern Ethiopia is the headline. Whether they need the dub at all is the part that decides if it is worth doing.
Somali is unusually uniform for a language of its size — one standard reaches the Horn of Africa and one of the world's most dispersed diasporas, with large communities in the UK, the US, Sweden, Norway, and Finland. Diaspora audiences consume Somali-language media daily and there is very little of it beyond news.
Where they watchYouTube, Facebook, and TikTok, with the diaspora accounting for a large share of watch time and of the paying audience.
What an AI Somali dub gives you
Reach, Latin captions, timing against your cut, and the accents your audience speaks — the four things a generic 90-languages claim never tells you.
22 million speakers
Somalia · Somaliland · eastern Ethiopia · Kenya · UK, US and Nordic diaspora
Latin
Generated from the same script the voice reads, so captions match the audio.
About 15% longer
Saying the same thing in Somali takes roughly 15% more time, so a line-for-line Somali script would overrun your cut. Vidwip writes the Somali to be spoken to time and paces it back onto your footage.

How much does dubbing a video to Somali cost?
Somali dubs on the Advanced model, the one that covers all 94 languages: $6.00 per minute of source video, per language. Here is how much Somali dubbing each plan includes, free plan first.
| Plan | Price | Dubbing time |
|---|---|---|
| Freeno card | $0 | 10 seconds |
| Starter | $25/mo | 4 min 10 s |
| Pro | $99/mo | 16 min 40 s |
A Somali dub runs about 15% longer than your English source, but the bill follows your source video, not the dub — a 10-minute original is 10 billable minutes of Somali either way. Adding Amharic alongside it doubles that to 20.
The audience is very widely distributed
A substantial share of Somali speakers live outside the Horn of Africa, across very different time zones, incomes, and connection speeds. Content that assumes a viewer in Mogadishu misses much of the audience that actually has money to spend.
How AI dubbing to Somali works
Vidwip transcribes your audio, translates the script into Somali, and voices it with an AI clone of the original speaker — paced to your cut, with Somali captions from the same script. The first two steps happen above; an account is only needed to render the Af-Soomaali audio.
