ElevenLabs has released Dubbing v2, an AI dubbing model that maintains original speaker emotion, tone, and pacing across 90+ languages while keeping audio synchronized with video content.

The updated platform represents a significant advancement in AI-powered dubbing technology. Dubbing v2 addresses a core limitation of previous systems: the loss of emotional nuance during translation and voice synthesis. The system processes audio to extract and preserve speaker characteristics including emotional inflection, conversational pace, and tonal qualities. These attributes are then applied to dubbed versions across supported languages, delivering more natural-sounding translations. The technology maintains lip-sync accuracy, ensuring audio aligns with on-screen dialogue. This capability positions the tool for use in film, television, podcasts, and other video content requiring professional dubbing. With support for 90+ languages, ElevenLabs targets creators seeking to distribute content globally without the time and expense of traditional dubbing studios. The v2 update follows earlier releases in the company's dubbing suite and reflects ongoing development in generative AI audio technology. The platform joins a growing market of AI dubbing solutions competing to reduce production costs and turnaround times for multilingual content.
