Today we’re launching Dubbing v2, our revolutionary new AI dubbing model. For the first time, the emotion and performance of the original speaker carries across every language. Instead of generating flat, disconnected audio from a transcript alone, Dubbing v2 conditions directly on the original performance - preserving tone, pacing, delivery, and emotional intent. This solves one of the biggest unsolved problems in AI dubbing: making translated speech feel like the original person actually said it.
Dubbing v2 preserves the original speaker's emotion and performance across 90+ languages
Conditions on original audio, not just transcript, for natural delivery
