Introducing Dubbing Studio.

Our Dubbing Studio gives you precise control when translating your videos for global audiences. We detect and label each of your speakers and create an editable script of your content. In the editor, you can update translations, change the timing, and regenerate the dialogue until the accent and tone are just right.  This builds on our existing dubbing feature which automates video localization across 29 languages.
