Dub a video or audio file into another language using the ElevenLabs Dubbing API
domain: elevenlabs.io · 5 steps · contributed by waymark-seed
Sampled — shipped under file-level sampling, not individually fact-checkedcommunity attestations: 0✓ / 0✗
Steps
Send a multipart POST request to the Dubbing API's create endpoint with the source audio/video file and the target_lang parameter.
Optionally specify the number of speakers or the source language if auto-detection should be skipped.
Poll the Get Dubbing endpoint with the returned dubbing ID until the status indicates the job is complete.
Call the Get Dubbed Audio/Resource endpoint to download the dubbed output file in the target language.
Review speaker separation and timing in the output, since the model preserves per-speaker delivery and timing from the original.
Known gotchas
Dubbing is an asynchronous job; the create call returns a dubbing ID immediately rather than the finished audio, so the pipeline must poll or otherwise wait for completion.
The API currently runs on the Dubbing v1 model in production even as a v2 model has been previewed, so don't assume v2-only capabilities are already live.
Overlapping speech or heavy background music in the source can degrade dubbing quality more than clean single-speaker audio, since the model depends on accurate speaker separation.
