Deepdub has announced a new partnership with Verbit aimed at transforming the global content localization process through AI-driven dubbing.
The collaboration combines Verbit’s Captivate captioning technology with Deepdub’s Emotive Text-to-Speech (eTTS) system to generate broadcast-ready dubbed audio directly from captioned media. The companies said the integrated workflow significantly reduces the time and cost associated with dubbing while retaining the emotional nuance of the original performance.
“At Verbit, we’re always looking for new ways to help our customers scale their content without compromising on quality or accessibility,” said Verbit General Manager Doug Karlovits. “This partnership with Deepdub bridges the gap between captioning and localization and demonstrates our commitment to delivering best-in-class global language solutions, giving our customers easy access to high-quality AI dubbing with the Verbit platform.”
The solution enables automated dubbing triggered from captioned content and deployed through a cloud-native API. Customers can select from thousands of licensed voices or replicate an actor’s actual voice, reducing the need for casting. Additional features such as voice tuning, accent control and emotional expression are built in to preserve intent and authenticity.
By integrating dubbing into Verbit’s platform, the companies said media owners and enterprises can eliminate manual handoffs between vendors, streamlining the localization process at the final stage of content distribution. This allows customers to localize and release programming across multiple markets more quickly.
“Localization has long been the bottleneck in global content distribution,” said Ofir Krakowski, CEO and Co-Founder of Deepdub. “By embedding our eTTS technology into Verbit’s workflow, we’re connecting accessibility and localization under one roof, enabling global media companies to deliver expressive, multilingual content with unmatched speed and scale, with our proprietary voice model ensuring industry-leading emotional fidelity and authenticity.”
The announcement comes amid rising demand for scalable localization solutions as media companies seek to expand their reach to international audiences. The firms will showcase the technology and outline their joint product strategy at the IBC 2025 conference in Amsterdam.
