Brief

Dubbing v2 on ElevenAPI (announced Aug 6, 2026 by Eric Michaelis) conditions output on the original performance to fix flat audio and preserve tone, emotion and delivery across 90+ languages. Its sync-aware translation aligns start/stop timing, improves regional accents (e.g., Castilian vs Latin American Spanish), handles background audio and multi-speaker scenes, and offers a single API for translation, cloning, dubbing, and selective regeneration.

Why it matters

Dubbing v2 on ElevenAPI was announced Aug 6, 2026 by Eric Michaelis and conditions output on the original performance to fix flat audio, preserving tone, emotion, and delivery across 90+ languages.

Key details

  • The model uses sync-aware translation logic to align starts/stops with the original, captures regional accents (e.g., Castilian vs Latin American Spanish), and better handles background audio, music, effects, and multi-speaker scenes.
  • A single ElevenAPI pipeline runs translation, voice cloning, dubbing, and sync automatically; enterprises can supply or edit source transcripts/translations and regenerate only changed segments (see the ElevenAPI dubbing quickstart guide).

Developers can now embed AI dubbing directly into their products and workflows.

Dubbing v2 fixes flat audio by conditioning directly on the original performance. It ensures that tone, emotion, and delivery are preserved across 90+ languages. 

Sync-aware translation logic means that starts and stops align with the original out of the box.

New model improvements

Dubbing v2 now captures regional accents with sharper locale accuracy, distinguishing variants like Castilian and Latin American Spanish. It also handles background audio, music, and effects better, including scenes with multiple speakers.

Handle the full pipeline through a single API

Translation, voice cloning, dubbing, and sync all run automatically. For more granular editing, enterprises can go further: bring your own source transcript and target language translations, or edit the ones the model produces, then regenerate only the segments you change.
