How to dub a video into another language on iPhone

Published 14 October 2026

Short answer: in Voxcene, translate your captions first (Captions → Language → Translate → …). Then open AI Studio → Dub into another language and tap Dub. Voxcene speaks the translation you approved, line by line, in time with your edit. The original sound stays underneath, turned down. It’s part of Premium: 100 credits per minute, plus 3 per minute for the translation. It isn’t lip-sync.

Step by step

  1. Caption the video in its own language.
  2. Translate the captions. In the editor’s Captions panel open Language and tap Translate → English (or any of 60+ languages). Read the translation and fix any line, because the dub will say exactly these words.
  3. Open AI Studio and tap Dub into another language. It stays greyed out with “Translate the captions first” until step 2 is done.
  4. Tap Dub. When it’s ready, tap Add to timeline. The dub is added as one clip, with the original sound turned down.
  5. Export. The video leaves with the new voice and, if you like, the translated captions burned in or as an SRT file.

The Captions panel in Voxcene with Language set to Original or English and a Translate → English button Translate the captions first. The dub speaks exactly what they say.

What it does well, and what it doesn’t

Lines start where the original lines startYes
Speeds a line up a little to fitUp to 18%
Original music and room sound keptYes, turned down
Lip-syncNo
A different voice per speakerNo, one voice for the whole video
Choose or clone a voiceNot in this version

That makes it a good fit for a product demo, a how-to, a talking-head explainer or a short ad, where people want to understand you in their own language. If you need lip-synced close-ups of several people talking over each other, use a specialised dubbing service.

Tip: keep both languages

Dub into English but keep the Greek captions? Or the other way round? The captions and the dub are separate. Choose the caption language in the editor, and the dub stays as it is.

Questions

Is it lip-synced?

No, and the app says so. Each line starts where the original line starts and may be sped up a little (at most 18%) to fit, but the mouth movements aren't changed. It works best for explainers, tutorials and product videos.

Can I choose the voice, or use my own?

Not in the current version. The dub uses one natural voice for the whole video, and there's no voice cloning.

What happens to the original sound?

It stays, turned right down under the dub, so music and room sound don't vanish. Both arrive as one change that a single undo takes back.

Which languages?

Any language you can translate the captions into: 60+, including Greek, English, Spanish, French, German, Italian and Arabic.

What does a minute cost?

Dubbing is part of Premium and costs 100 credits per minute of video. Translating the captions first costs 3 credits a minute. Premium includes 600 credits a month, and top-up packs are available.
