Voice-Over in Your Audience’s Language
Translated scripts, native voice talent, and finished audio that fits your video.
Verbatim Languages provides voice-over translation in any language for video, e-learning, and marketing content. We translate and adapt your script under our ISO 17100:2015-certified process, record it in our own studio with native-speaking voice talent and a language director fluent in your language, then mix and sync the audio to your video. Founded in Orlando, Florida in 2005, we work with clients across the United States and worldwide.
Scripts Built for Timing
Many languages run longer than English. Our translators adapt your script so it fits the time on screen and still sounds natural.
The Right Voice Talent for You
We work with a wide variety of native-speaking voice talent in any language. Tell us the age, tone, and style you want, and we’ll send voice samples before we record.
Our Own Studio & Post Production
We record in our own studio with a bilingual audio engineer. Our sound mixers & editors have decades of experience delivering for broadcast, theatrical, and web video, in whatever format you need.

How It Works
1. Send Us Your Video
We work from your script, or we transcribe the audio if you don’t have one. Let us know if on-screen text needs translating too.
2. We Translate & Adapt the Script
Timed to fit your video, not just translated word for word.
3. You Approve the Final Script
Changes after recording mean re-recording, so this is the time for edits.
4. We Record
Native-speaking voice talent in our own studio, directed by a language director fluent in the target language, with a bilingual audio engineer.
5. We Mix, Sync & Deliver
The voice track is edited to picture, mixed with your music & effects, and delivered as audio files or a finished video in the format you need. Lower thirds and on-screen text can be localized too.
Over 20 Years of Language Services
Verbatim Languages was founded over 20 years ago by interpreters who understand client needs firsthand. Every voice-over script goes through the same ISO 17100:2015-certified translation process as our certified translations, so what your audience hears is accurate before it’s ever recorded.

FAQs
What’s the difference between voice-over and dubbing?
Voice-over adds a new voice track in the target language, usually narration. Dubbing replaces every line of on-screen dialogue and times it to the speakers’ lip movements. Voice-over is faster and more economical. Dubbing is more immersive for content with people talking on camera.
Should I choose voice-over or subtitles?
Subtitles are the faster, lower-cost option and keep the original voices. Voice-over is better when viewers need to watch the screen instead of reading it, like product demos and training, or when the content is audio only. Many clients use both.
Do I need to provide a translated script?
No. We translate and adapt the script ourselves, because a voice-over script has to fit the timing of your video. If you don’t have a script at all, we’ll transcribe the original audio first.
Will the translated audio fit my video?
Yes. That’s why we adapt the script rather than translate it word for word. Many languages run longer than English, so our translators adjust the phrasing to match the time on screen. Then our editors sync the recording to picture.
What languages do you record?
Any language you need. Every voice we cast is a native speaker of the language they record.
Can I choose the voice?
Yes. Tell us the gender, age range, accent, and tone you want, and we’ll send voice samples so you can choose before we record.
What do you need from me, and what do I get back?
Your video or audio file, the script if you have one, and any on-screen graphics you want localized. A clean version of the video without on-screen text helps. We deliver separate voice tracks, a full mix, or a finished video, in the file formats your editor or platform needs.
How long does it take?
It depends on length, number of languages, and review time. A two-minute explainer is quick. A 40-module e-learning course is not. Tell us your deadline when you request a quote, and we’ll give you an accurate timeline.
Who do I talk to?
