What is AI dubbing?

Definition

AI dubbing replaces a video's spoken audio with machine-generated speech in another language, keeping the timing aligned with the picture. Modern systems can preserve the original speaker's voice via voice cloning.

Dubbing vs. subtitling

Subtitles translate text at the bottom of the frame; dubbing translates the audio itself. Dubbed tutorials let viewers watch the UI instead of reading, which matters when the steps on screen demand attention.

What complete video translation includes

For product videos, voice alone is not enough: captions and on-screen text labels must be translated together with the dub, or the video contradicts itself.
