Problem
Speech Morphing develops artificial intelligence-powered speech technology. The company’s main product is a new kind of text-to-speech system that can generate natural-sounding voices with different styles and tones, even maintaining the original voice color across languages. This expressiveness enables more realistic and engaging human-computer interaction and breaks down language barriers in communication.
Speech Morphing's Mark Seligman shared about their exploration of LipDub AI's technology for lip-syncing dubbed videos. Till now, they’ve been creating translated voiceovers for videos in various genres, but have lacked lip-syncing capabilities.
But Mark knew that realistic communication relied on both audio and visual cues – meaning that realistic lip movements were needed to convey authentic emotions.
By integrating with LipDub AI, Speech Morphing was able not only to synthesize expressive speech tones, but also to visually express those tones through appropriate lip movements, empowering more emotionally impactful communication.
“We’ve been interested in dubbing in general – mostly multi-lingual translated dubbing. We've thought for a long time about the vocal aspects, but we've always had in mind the potential impact of adding lip sync to the mix."

Solution
Speech Morphing wanted to add lip-syncing to their video dubbing process to provide more natural experiences across multiple languages.

While Speech Morphing acknowledges the need for further exploration with syncing lip movements when multiple characters are on screen, their successes so far with LipDub AI clearly pave the path toward high-quality, budget-friendly dubbing. Efficient and affordable multilingual lip-synced dubbing would unquestionably be a boon for content creators and viewers alike, fostering more engaging and accessible sharing of global entertainment and content.
"Viewers are more engaged with videos that feature natural-looking lip-syncing in their own languages. Leveraging LipDub AI enables Speech Morphing to offer lip-synced dubs for videos where traditional dubbing might not be feasible due to budget constraints."

Results
Speech Morphing has discovered a game-changer: with LipDub AI, they can enhance their speech synthesis results to create uniquely natural high-quality video content in many languages. This enhancement was evident in their lip-synced translation of a British English travelogue announcer on screen into spoken Hindi, Spanish, and Japanese – in which LipDub AI effectively bridged the last mile to convincing multilingualism.
Beyond initial results, Speech Morphing sees significant business benefits. LipDub AI offers a solution to a long-standing challenge: viewer engagement. Natural-looking lip-syncing in their own languages can keep audiences captivated, fostering a deeper connection with the content. The effect is all the more striking in that most viewers have never experienced such seamless dubbing.
LipDub AI also presents Speech Morphing with a powerful tool for expanding their offerings. This advanced technology provides a cost-effective alternative to traditional human dubbing, a significant advantage for budget-conscious content creators. Previously, for projects with tight budgets, high-quality dubbing might have remained out of reach; but LipDub AI opens doors to a much wider range of clients. By offering solutions not only high-quality but affordable, Speech Morphing positions itself as a leader in the multilingual video content creation space.
“The engagement expectations seem pretty clear to me. People will see dubbed content as if it were produced in their target language and that's going to excite them. That's something they’ve never seen before.”
