## Definition

Dubbing is the process of replacing or adding a new audio track in a different language over existing video footage, enabling multilingual content distribution.

## Extended Definition

Traditional dubbing required hiring voice actors for each target language. AI dubbing now uses text-to-speech models to generate voice tracks in 50+ languages while preserving the original speaker's voice characteristics through voice cloning. AI dubbing workflows involve transcribing the original audio, translating the transcript, generating speech in the target language, and synchronizing the new audio with the video (including lip sync adjustments). This dramatically reduces the cost and time of multilingual content production. Dubbing enables creators to reach global audiences from a single source video. The quality of AI dubbing has improved significantly, though accented or emotional speech remains challenging.
