What is BodyTalk?
BodyTalk is Panjaya’s AI Dubbing Platform, which enables anyone to localize their video content for any audience, in any language, while preserving on-screen speakers’ natural voice and lip movements. BodyTalk produces localized videos that look and feel as natural as the original, through:
Automated Adaptive Translation, Speech Modulation, and Audio Retiming: BodyTalk 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. BodyTalk features a suite of precision tools that give video creators the ability to modify translations or adjust performance nuances. Human-in-the-loop adjustment means you remain in control of your content's message, tone, and emotion.

How does BodyTalk work?
Our automated solution makes it easy to dub in 3 simple steps. First, pick your target language(s) and upload your video. BodyTalk then creates a draft audio-only dub for each language. Second, review and, optionally, edit the translation or audio of the draft dubs in our Studio. Third, generate the final dubbed video with or without lip syncing and download.
What languages are supported?
BodyTalk supports dubbing in the following languages: Arabic, Bulgarian, Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English (US), Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew (source only), Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (BR), Portuguese (PT), Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Spanish (MX), Swedish, Tamil, Turkish, Ukrainian.
How long does it take to dub a video?
Dubbing times vary and depend on the video length and complexity. A general rule of thumb - it takes about the length of the video to generate a dub ready for review, and about twice the length to incorporate lip syncing.
What issues can occur in the dubbing process? And how can I address them?
Though our automated platform accounts for all the complexities of dubbing, it can make mistakes. From time to time, there may be transcription or translation errors. Additionally, overlaps or general timing mismatches of the audio may occur due to differences in languages. Fortunately, our Studio provides a suite of tools for addressing these issues. Transcription and translation text can easily be edited in the Studio, and dub timing overlaps and mismatches can also be addressed through our audio editing tools.
