Using Dubbing and Voice-overs for Video Translation
Dubbing and voice-over services aren’t as prevalent an option as subtitling but do have some significant benefits including:
- Foreign dubbing makes videos instantly ready and accessible to foreign viewers without them having to change video settings.
- Dubbing services can be useful where captions would obstruct onscreen information in the form of text or diagrams.
- Voice-overs can be perceived by some viewers as a more relaxed, natural way to view foreign videos when compared to reading foreign subtitles.
