Dubs audio and video into other languages with the ElevenLabs Dubbing API (dubbing_v2), preserving the original speakers' voices. It walks through creating a project from a file or URL, waiting for transcription, adding target languages, downloading the dub, and reviewing or correcting transcripts and translations before regenerating.
Use when
- Localizing a video into other languages
- Translating a podcast or recording
