Order dubbing


About

Dubbing lets you add translated audio tracks to your video. It’s a REACH service ordered through an external vendor, and the final audio is synced to the original dialogue. 

  • The dubbed voice is generated using text-to-speech technology
  • For professional (human) dubbing, the script is prepared by a human translator, then voiced using a synthesized voice.
  • The system tries to match the dubbed voice to the speaker’s gender when possible, depending on the available voices for each language.
