In an era where video content drives communication and business growth globally, demand for effective video localization solutions is exploding. Today, we at Panjaya.ai are proud to unveil BodyTalk, our AI-driven video dubbing platform. BodyTalk takes an enormous step forward in overcoming the challenges of video translation by ensuring dubbed content not only sounds right, but also looks right. By synchronizing voice, lips, and body movements, we ensure that dubbed videos retain all the connective power of the original.
Harnessing the Power of Human Performance
Video localization isn't just about making your content accessible in different languages. It's about retaining the integrity, emotion, and personality of the original. In this regard, traditional forms of localization like subtitles and voice-only dubbing have always fallen short, effectively stripping away the emotional weight of a speaker's performance.
Today, AI dubbing is transforming how organizations can reach and engage with global audiences at scale. However, much of the power of human performance is still often lost in translation. The core of the issue lies in body language—an integral part of human communication that dubbing solutions today fail to replicate.
When dubbed voices don't align with the natural expressions and movements of speakers on screen, audiences feel disconnected. The performance feels uncanny, and the emotional impact is diminished. That's why dubbed videos often fall short in capturing attention or driving engagement. Audiences might understand the words, but the experience—the connection—is lost. This is the challenge that inspired us to build BodyTalk.
Our Unique Solution: Capturing Authenticity, Movement, and Emotion
BodyTalk retains the connective power of video by ensuring the audio, visuals, and movement work harmoniously together. Our AI-powered platform offers a complete video adaptation experience that maintains the speaker's unique identity while providing the most natural and lifelike dubbing available. Here's how we make it happen:
Automated Adaptive Translation, Speech Modulation, and Audio Retiming: Our system automatically adjusts translations and aligns the rhythm and tone of the dubbed audio with the pauses, breaths, gestures and other body movements in the original video. This adaptive approach to translation and speech synthesis ensures that viewers experience the message as naturally and authentically as the original audience.
Precision Tools for Human-in-the-Loop Adjustment: We know that great localization requires nuance. Our platform features a suite of precision tools that give creators the ability to modify translations or adjust performance nuances. Human-in-the-loop adjustment means customers remain in control of their content's message, tone, and emotion.
Handling Real-World Complexity: Whether it’s a dynamic interview, a speaker walking across a stage, or someone turning to address another speaker, our technology is equipped to handle complex face movements, varying angles, and occlusions. BodyTalk ensures that lip sync remains perfect even in challenging scenarios.
With its automated synchronization of voice, lips, and body language, as well as intuitive interface, BodyTalk is an out of the box toolkit that allows businesses to translate and dub videos without any technical expertise, at scale. The platform is designed to make content localization a seamless, fast, and efficient experience, even for large-scale projects.

BodyTalk is built for versatility, catering to a wide range of industries. Key use cases include:

This boosts understanding and engagement with products and services, regardless of language.
Case Study: TED's Journey with BodyTalk
Panjaya.ai has already secured partnerships with organizations like TED and JFrog, dramatically improving their accessibility and engagement metrics. For example, TED, one of our earliest partners, sought to expand the reach of their Talks globally while maintaining the authentic feel of each speaker's message. With BodyTalk, TED was able to translate Talks into multiple languages while retaining each speaker's unique style, tone, and body language. This led to:
115% increase in views for dubbed Talks
70% increase in non-English browser views
2X the user completion rates compared to their previous subtitled content
"Panjaya’s BodyTalk platform has transformed how we approach video localization at TED,” said Andy Merryman, CTO of TED. “Using the platform allows us to preserve the core message of our speakers while making content feel more natural across languages. This technology has helped us bridge language gaps, ensuring that TED Talks resonate with audiences worldwide"
The Origins of Panjaya
Panjaya was born from a shared passion for transforming how the world experiences video content. Our leadership team has deep roots in the technical and product sides of video content delivery, combining decades of expertise to address some of the industry's most enduring challenges. The lead researchers at Panjaya bring over 20 years of collective experience in audio and vision AI, applying cutting-edge technology to solve complex problems. Our head of engineering has spent more than 20 years building enterprise-grade video services, including at Vimeo. And the executive team are seasoned serial entrepreneurs that have dedicated 30+ years to building innovative video-related consumer and enterprise products. This powerful blend of expertise in AI, engineering, and product innovation laid the foundation for Panjaya—a company poised to redefine video localization.
Our collective experiences made it clear that traditional video localization was fundamentally flawed—too often, localized content fell short of conveying the emotion and meaning of the original video, especially when visual and vocal cues were mismatched. We saw how these mismatches made localized videos feel awkward and less authentic, diminishing their effectiveness. We set out to build a solution that didn't just localize content, but one that preserved the emotion and integrity of the original speaker. This desire to overcome the limitations of traditional localization led to the creation of BodyTalk.
Why Panjaya Is Different
We understand that when it comes to localization, authenticity matters. BodyTalk addresses the age-old problem of dubbed content appearing awkward, robotic, or "off" when voiceovers don't match the original body language. Unlike existing dubbing services that simply replace audio tracks, BodyTalk integrates voice synthesis and modulation, computer vision, natural language processing, text generation, and intelligent retiming to create a seamless adaptation that looks and feels as natural as the original speaker.Our technology ensures that the pauses, expressions, and body movements of speakers are accurately reflected across languages and cultures. The result is a viewing experience that feels as impactful and authentic as the original—what we call "deep reals."
