Dub speech to add translated voiceover

The Dub speech lets you translate your script into another language and generate a new voiceover using AI Speakers. You'll find this option in the AI Actions panel, and it creates a new audio track based on your translated script.

If you want to translate captions without dubbing the original audio, see our separate guide on translating your captions into another language

How to dub translated content

  1. Open the AI Actions panel, then choose Translate under the Repurpose section.
  2. Choose your target language(s). Any language you've already translated to will display a green dot. Re-translating will overwrite the existing version, including any manual edits.
  3. Check the box labeled Dub speech. Assign each speaker label to a stock voice for dubbing.
  4. Click Apply. Descript will generate a translated composition with dubbed voiceover using the selected AI Speakers.

Regenerate dubbed audio

If your translation includes dubbed speech, you’ll need to regenerate the audio after making any text edits to hear the updated audio. This ensures your voiceover matches the final translation.
