Dubformer Introduces Emotion Transfer Technology to Achieve a New Level of Emotional Depth in AI Dubbing. “Until now, AI dubbing has struggled to capture the emotional nuances that human voice actors bring to their performances. With Emotion Transfer, we elevate the entire AI dubbing process by focusing on the emotions behind each phrase, enhancing the expressiveness of the output. By transferring emotional dynamics instead of cloning voices, we’re able to create a result that’s both more engaging and true to the original performance. This approach represents a significant leap in AI dubbing technology,” said Anton Dvorkovich, Dubformer’s CEO and Founder.
