How AI dubbing works
The audio is split into speech and background, the speech is transcribed and translated, and each speaker is re-voiced in the new language with a clone of their voice, then mixed back with the background. ElevenLabs says its dubbing aims to keep each speaker's emotion, timing and tone.
Dubbing vs YouTube auto-dubbing
YouTube's automatic dubbing is on by default for eligible creators and dubs English videos into 20 languages. It lives inside YouTube. A dubbing tool gives you the translated file for any platform — Reels, TikTok, courses or ads.
