Lipsmatch Speakers and events
Translate your keynote into more languages, in your own voice
Send us your recorded keynote and the languages you need. We translate your talk. You approve the translation. Our technology recreates your voice to speak it. Then we match your mouth to every word. Each language comes back as its own video.
See a matched mouth on an aired ad
Britannia shot this 50-50 Golmaal ad in Hindi. It also aired in English, with the client's own dub. Tap Original. The English voice plays over a mouth that still says Hindi. Tap Lipsmatch. Now the mouth says each English word. A keynote filmed in close-up gets the same match.
Your talk keeps working after the event
A talk you gave once, in one language, can reach people far beyond the room.
The event films your keynote and posts it. Then a booker abroad asks for a sample in their language. All you have is the version from the stage.
TED saw the same gap. In 2024 it said 70% of its audience is international. Its TED Fluent programme now offers talks in 12 languages, with AI voice and lip sync. TED reports 35% growth in its multilingual audience.
TED Fluent is TED's own programme. Lipsmatch makes this kind of version for one speaker, one event or a full talk series.
How speakers, events and bureaus can use it
One recorded talk does a different job for each of them.
- Keynote speakers publish their best talk for the markets where they want to speak. They send each booker a clip in the booker's language.
- Event organisers release keynotes and top sessions in more languages after the event. For a series that runs all year, a monthly plan fixes the hours and languages in advance.
- Talk series add a dubbed version for viewers who prefer to listen. TED's volunteer translators work in 115 languages. TED still added dubbing.
- Speaker bureaus offer translated talks to the speakers they represent. As a partner, a bureau gets files without our brand. Its speakers deal only with the bureau.
What each language version includes
Each language comes back as a finished talk, ready for your channel or a booker.
Our technology recreates your voice to speak the translation with the timing you had on stage
We change your mouth to match each new word, so the camera can stay close on your face
We translate each line and keep your names and terms as you list them
You approve the translation before your voice speaks it, and again when the video is finished
If your talk already has a dub, we match your mouth to every word of it
Each language is a new video for your channel, your speaker page or a booker's inbox
How a talk is dubbed with lip sync
You send one file. You approve each stage.
From stage to new language
Send the talk
Send the best recording you have and the languages you need.
Check the translation
We translate your talk. Each line fits the time you took to say it on stage. You check every line, or a translator you trust checks it.
Hear yourself
Your recreated voice speaks the approved translation. Then we match your mouth to every word, frame by frame.
Approve and publish
Our team checks each version. You watch it, approve it and publish it as a new video.
What to send with your talk
These few things save a round of changes later.
- The best recording you have. Ask the event for its master file. If the event recorded your microphone on its own track, send that too.
- Names and terms. List the names and phrases that must not change. Add how to say each one.
- Your slides. They help our team get your terms right. The slides in the video stay in the original language.
- Your languages. Name each one and its market, such as Spanish for Mexico or for Spain.
- The approvals. We work only with the approvals you already have for each voice and face on screen. If the event owns the recording, we need its written permission too. On a panel, each speaker whose voice we recreate must agree.
Subtitles, interpreters, dubbing or lip sync
Each option suits a different need. Subtitles cost the least and suit many talks.
| Question | Lipsmatch | Subtitles | Live interpretation | Dubbed audio only |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| What viewers do | Listen and watch | Read along | Listen on a headset or stream | Listen |
| Whose voice they hear | Yours, in their language | Yours, in the original language | The interpreter's | It depends on the dub |
| The mouth on screen | Matches every new word | Matches what they hear | Speaks the original language | Speaks the original language |
| After the event | A new video for each language | Stays with the video | Serves the live session | Stays with the video |
| Best for | Talks where your face and voice matter | Reach at low cost | People in the room | Wide shots with small faces |

Each language goes out as its own video
A lip-matched talk is a new video file. You publish it as its own upload.
Post it on a channel for that language, in a playlist or on your speaker page. You can also cut short clips for Shorts and Reels. In the description, add a line that says the talk is translated in your own voice.
YouTube's automatic dub adds a sound track in a voice that software makes. A sound track does not change the picture. Your mouth still speaks the original language.
Lipsmatch gives you a new upload, ready to post. It has your own recreated voice, and your mouth matches the translation. Our guide to your own voice explains how we make the voice and who controls it.

Speaker and event questions
Can I translate my speech to Spanish or Hindi in my own voice?
Yes. Send us the recorded speech and name the languages. Our team translates your speech and checks it. Our technology recreates your voice to speak it. Then we match your mouth to every word. We already shipped Hindi on aired campaigns. Spanish is one of the 90+ languages we support.
Are TED talks dubbed into other languages?
Yes, some are. TED Fluent offers selected talks in 12 languages, with AI voice and lip sync. TED says that translators review each dub before it goes live. The speaker also gives permission for every release.
Can a TEDx talk be dubbed into Hindi?
Yes, with the right approvals. Ask the TEDx organisers and TED what the event licence allows for dubbed versions. They and the speaker must approve in writing. Then we make the Hindi version in the speaker's recreated voice, with the mouth matched to every word.
The event filmed my keynote. Can I still get it dubbed?
Yes, once you have the right to use the recording. Your speaking agreement usually says who owns it. If the event owns it, ask for written permission to publish translated versions. We work only with the approvals you already have.
Do you offer AI live translation for events?
No. We work on the recording after the event. On the day, live interpreters and live captions serve the people in the room. Lipsmatch makes the version that people watch later, in your own voice. You can use both.
Can you translate a long video, like a full keynote or session?
Yes. Send the whole session as you recorded it. We plan the work around its length, its speakers and the languages. Before we start, we agree on the delivery dates with you. Each language then comes back as one finished video of the whole session.
What happens to jokes and stories that do not translate?
We dub the talk you gave. We translate each joke and story for its meaning, and keep it to the same length. Some wordplay works only in English, and a word-for-word translation loses it. If you want a different line for one market, send it to us. We translate it and dub it. You approve the translation before your voice speaks it.
How do I share a translated talk with bookers abroad?
Send them the version in their language. Each language comes back as its own video file. You can share the full talk or a short clip from it. The booker hears you speak their language in your own voice. For the public, post it as its own upload, on a channel or in a playlist for that language.
