Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a free plan that includes dubbing?

ElevenLabs offers a free tier with a monthly credit allowance, but access to the full Dubbing Studio requires a paid subscription starting at the Starter plan. The free tier gives you enough credits to explore other ElevenLabs features before committing.

How many languages does ElevenLabs Dubbing support?

ElevenLabs Dubbing supports over 90 languages and accents, covering a wide range of global markets from major European and Asian languages to regional variants.

Does it change the speaker's voice when dubbing?

No — the system automatically clones each original speaker's voice and applies it to the translated audio, so the dubbed output sounds like the same person speaking the target language rather than a generic synthetic voice.

What is the difference between the self-serve studio and ElevenProductions?

The self-serve Dubbing Studio is designed for individual creators and marketers who want a fast, automated workflow. ElevenProductions is a fully managed service aimed at studios and broadcasters that adds human translators, quality review, and professional audio mixing for broadcast-ready results.

Is there an API for programmatic dubbing?

API access for dubbing is currently available only to select enterprise customers and is not yet open for general self-serve use. Teams needing API access should contact the ElevenLabs sales team to discuss enterprise options.
