Dubbing

What it does

Dubbing takes in source audio, source text, or target text and produces a localized version of the original content in a target language. Dubbing v2 works from the original audio rather than a transcript, so it aims to carry tone, emotion, and delivery into the translated track, and each output is delivered in a voice clone of the original speaker.

Creators, marketers, and teams typically upload a video or audio file, choose one or more target languages, and receive dubbed output with translation, voice cloning, and timing sync handled automatically. Sync-aware translation aims to align starts and stops with the original. Studios with broadcast requirements can instead order managed dubbing, where human translators and voice casting are added around the audio model.

This suits creators and marketing teams who want quick localization without building a pipeline, and enterprises that need API access. Use requires an ElevenLabs account; dubbing consumes shared monthly credits, so heavy use depends on plan size. Output is fully automated, so review is advisable for high-stakes or brand-sensitive content, and the page describes it as close to human quality rather than equal to professional human dubbing.
