One of the significant innovations is the Expressive Speech technology, which allows not only the reproduction of text but also the intonation, pace, and emotional tone of the original speech. This makes the dubbing more natural and closer to the original material.
Currently, automatic dubbing works for languages such as English, French, German, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. The platform is also testing a new feature that synchronizes the speaker's lip movements with the dubbed speech, ensuring visual alignment with the voiceover.
YouTube takes into account the potential concerns of both creators and viewers. Users can always switch back to the original audio track, and content creators have the option to disable automatic dubbing or upload their professional voiceover.
