## What Dubformer Does

Dubformer Studio is an AI dubbing platform where human directors control every creative decision. It is not an automated dubbing service — it is technology that recording studios and localization companies use to produce broadcast-grade dubbed content at scale.

### Core Capabilities

- **AI Dubbing**: Full-length dubbing with voice cloning, lip-sync timing, and emotional performance matching
- **Voiceover**: AI-generated voiceover with human direction for corporate, e-learning, and documentary content
- **Subtitling**: Automated transcription and translation with human review workflow
- **Audio Description**: Accessibility audio tracks with AI narration and human QC
- **Emotion Transfer**: Preserves the original actor's emotional performance (anger, joy, sadness, fear, surprise, disgust) in the dubbed output — not just words, but how they're said
- **Voice Cloning**: Clone a speaker's voice to maintain identity across languages, or cast from the S-tier voice library
- **S-tier Voice Library**: Curated broadcast-quality synthetic voices across languages, rated and categorized by style
- **Quality Gates**: Automated MOS (Mean Opinion Score) quality scoring at every stage — lines that fail quality thresholds are flagged for human review before delivery
- **AAF/EDL Export**: Industry-standard export formats for integration with Pro Tools, Avid, DaVinci Resolve, and other post-production tools

### Direction Controls

Studios direct AI performance at the phrase level:

- **Voice direction**: Adjust pitch, speed, emphasis, and breathing per line
- **Emotion prompting**: Set emotional tone per phrase (not just per-project)
- **Accent control**: Specify regional accent variants within a language
- **Timing locks**: Lock lip-sync timing to original performance
- **A/B comparison**: Compare AI takes side-by-side before approval

### Language Coverage

- **140+ target dubbing languages** including all major broadcast markets
- **55+ ASR source languages** for transcription and translation
- **Pivot language support**: Dub from any source language through an intermediate translation when direct language pairs aren't available

## Quality Benchmarks

Published quality metrics from controlled evaluations:

- **95% naturalness score** — human listeners rate dubbed output as natural-sounding
- **98% intelligibility** — speech clarity and comprehension
- **92% emotional authenticity** — preservation of original performance emotion

- Studios keep their client relationships, talent networks, and creative control
