Dubbing YouTube content for a global audience used to mean losing your voice or sounding robotic. With AI voice cloning, creators can now keep their unique tone (no matter the language). But not all tools deliver the same results.

At AIR Translation Labs, we believe the best dubbing sounds exactly like you (not like a robot or an unrelated voice actor). That’s why we blend 80% human translation with 20% AI.

That’s how we get studio-quality dubs that stay true to your voice identity across languages. One example is our Peterson project, where voice cloning helped preserve the speaker’s identity in German, Ukrainian, and Spanish. See how it sounds →
