The Best AI Dubbing Tools in 2026
Dzianis Kukareka, Founder · Updated
Most AI dubbing tools will get a voice into another language. Where they differ is lip sync, how many languages they cover and how you pay. If the speaker’s face fills the frame and the lips have to match, look at HeyGen or Rask AI. If you need an unusual language or want dubbing through an API, ElevenLabs covers 90+ languages. If you want the dub, the transcript and the subtitles from one project without taking on another subscription, that is what we built BlaBlaScribe for: 27 languages at $1.00–1.50 a minute, in packs that don’t expire, with a free 15-second preview on your own video. And if you already edit in Kapwing, VEED or Descript, try their built-in dubbing before adding another tool.
BlaBlaScribe is our product, and its voices are generated by ElevenLabs. For every other tool on the list we went by the vendor’s own pricing page as it stood in October 2026.

What to check before you pick one
Lip sync. Worth paying for when a face fills the frame. In tutorials, screen recordings, voice-over and podcasts nobody will notice it’s missing.
Whose voice you hear. Either a library voice for each speaker or a clone of the person on screen. Cloning someone needs their consent; we wrote up what voice cloning allows and what it doesn’t.
Timing. A translated line usually runs longer than the original. A decent tool shortens or re-times it and shows you the lines that still don’t fit.
Background audio. The original speech should come out, and the music and sound effects should stay.
What you’ll actually spend. Monthly credits make sense if you dub every week. Packs make sense if you dub now and then.
The 8 best AI dubbing tools
1. BlaBlaScribe: dub, transcript and subtitles in one project, no subscription
BlaBlaScribe dubs video and audio into 27 languages. Each speaker gets a voice of their own, or a clone of the original one. Every translated line is written to fit the gap it has to fill, and the ones that still run long are flagged for you. Music and effects stay under the new voice. Because dubbing starts from the corrected transcript, the same project also gives you subtitles in 50+ languages and an MP4 with the dub, with burned-in captions if you want them.
Price: 10 minutes for $15, 30 for $39, 60 for $72, 100 for $100, translation included. Minutes don’t expire and work on any plan, the free one included.
Before you pay: a free 15-second preview on your own video, up to three per language.
It’s the wrong pick if you need lip sync (HeyGen, Rask) or a language outside our 27 (ElevenLabs, HeyGen). We compared ourselves in more detail with ElevenLabs and with Rask AI.
2. ElevenLabs: the most languages, plus an API
ElevenLabs started with text-to-speech and now also does voice cloning, sound effects and dubbing into 90+ languages, with up to 32 speakers per file and API access on every plan. Starter is $6 a month and buys roughly 10 minutes of automatic dubbing; Creator is $22 for about 40.
What you get is a dubbing pass rather than a finished video, so expect to review and assemble it somewhere else.
3. HeyGen: lip-synced talking heads
HeyGen translates video into 175+ languages and dialects, clones the voice, matches the lips and can handle up to ten target languages in one go. Creator is $29 a month ($24 if you pay yearly) and takes videos up to 30 minutes long.
4. Rask AI: lip sync on a monthly plan
Rask translates into 135 languages and can clone voices in 32 of them. Creator costs $39 a month and includes 25 minutes. Lip sync only starts at Creator Pro, $99 a month. The free trial is 3 minutes, enough to run one complete short dub.
5. Kapwing: dubbing inside a team editor
Kapwing Pro costs $24 a month ($16 yearly) and includes 50 dubbing minutes in 40+ languages, plus 1,000 subtitle minutes. Voice clones and lip sync are Business-plan features.
6. VEED: dubbing in an all-round browser editor
VEED’s Pro plan adds dubbing in 25+ languages on top of the editor, subtitles and translation. If VEED is already where you edit, it’s the obvious place to try dubbing first.
7. Maestra: voice-over minutes bundled with transcription
Maestra sells transcription, subtitles and translated voice-over in one plan. Basic is $49 a month ($39 yearly) with 120 voice-over minutes. Voice cloning needs Premium, and lip sync is an add-on at $2 a minute.
8. Descript: dubbing for podcasts you edit as text
Descript dubs into 30 languages inside the editor where you cut audio by editing the transcript, and it’s paid for with the AI credits on your plan. Handy when the episode is already being edited there.
Which AI dubbing tool should you use?
| If you… | Pick |
|---|---|
| Dub tutorials, courses or product videos a few times a month | BlaBlaScribe |
| Need subtitles and a dub from the same translation | BlaBlaScribe |
| Dub close-up talking heads that need lip sync | HeyGen or Rask AI |
| Need a rare language or regional dialect | ElevenLabs or HeyGen |
| Build dubbing into your own app | ElevenLabs |
| Already edit in Kapwing, VEED or Descript | Their built-in dubbing |
What a 10-minute video costs to dub
Take one 10-minute video into one language. With a BlaBlaScribe 10-minute pack that’s $15. On ElevenLabs Starter it’s about $6, if it’s the only thing you dub that month. On HeyGen or Rask it comes out of a $29–39 monthly plan. Five languages means 50 minutes on BlaBlaScribe, so a 60-minute pack at $72. The more you dub every month, the cheaper a subscription gets per minute; if you only dub now and then, packs come out ahead. We go through that choice in subtitles vs dubbing.
Frequently asked questions
Can AI dubbing keep my own voice?
Yes. BlaBlaScribe, ElevenLabs, HeyGen, Rask, Kapwing (on Business) and Descript can all clone the original speaker, so the person sounds like themselves in the new language. Only clone your own voice, or one you have permission to use.
Is there a free AI dubbing tool?
Not for whole videos. What you can get for free: 15-second previews on your own video at BlaBlaScribe, three short videos a month at HeyGen, a 3-minute trial at Rask, and ElevenLabs credits that come with a watermark and no commercial licence.
Do I need lip sync?
Only when the speaker’s face fills the frame. Tutorials, screen recordings, documentaries and podcasts are normally dubbed with a well-timed voice and no lip sync at all.
How do I dub a video step by step?
Upload it, check the transcript, pick the language and voices, listen to a preview, then dub and export. The full walkthrough is in how to dub a video into another language with AI.
