What is AI dubbing?

AI dubbing replaces the spoken language of a video with another language. In Pictory you translate your video project, and the script, captions and on-screen text come back in the new language. Then you pick an AI voice and Pictory generates the voiceover from the translated script, scene by scene.

One voice, many languages. Premium voices speak every language, so a series can keep the same voice in each version. Or dub it in your own voice clone.

For the full translation flow, see the AI video translator. For subtitles only, the subtitle translator.

  • PPT to Video

    Your slides as a narrated video, then translated.

  • Script to Video

    Keep every word of your script, then translate it.

  • Idea to Video

    One sentence in. Script and scenes out.

Dubbing or translating

Dubbing or translating?

Translating a video in Pictory gives you the script, captions and on-screen text in a new language. Dubbing is the voice: an AI voiceover generated from that translated script. Most videos need both, and the AI video translator takes you through them in order.
