Lipsmatch Malayalam
Malayalam AI dubbing and lip sync, for Kerala and the Gulf
Lipsmatch gives your video a Malayalam voice and a mouth that moves with every word. If you have a Malayalam dub, we match the mouth to it. If not, we translate your script, and our technology recreates the speaker's own voice. Our team checks every version.
Malayalam lip sync on a 50-50 Golmaal film
This spot is from Britannia's 50-50 Golmaal campaign, which ran in IPL primetime. Tap Original to hear the client's Malayalam dub on the Hindi mouth, as it was shot. Then tap Lipsmatch, and watch the lips move with the Malayalam words.
Malayalam viewers live in Kerala and across the Gulf
A Malayalam version speaks to 2 groups of viewers. One is families in Kerala. The other is Malayalis in Gulf cities such as Dubai, Kuwait and Doha.
One file serves both. The voice and the mouth speak Malayalam, so the video looks made for these viewers, wherever they watch it.

How we translate your script into Malayalam
We settle these points with you before we make the voice.
- Standard or community speech. Standard Malayalam suits most ads, lessons and channels. A sermon or a community talk can use the speech of its own listeners, such as Nasrani or Arabi Malayalam. Tell us who listens, and we choose with you.
- Subject words. A 2026 study tested machine translation of Indian online lectures. In Malayalam, it changed too many subject terms, 5 or more in every 200 words. We agree on a term list with you. Each term then stays the way your field already says it.
- A translation you approve. You read the Malayalam translation before we make the voice. We time each line to your edit, so your cuts and pauses stay where they are.
Into Malayalam for Malayalis, out of Malayalam for India
Into Malayalam, a video reaches Malayalis at home and abroad. Out of Malayalam, it reaches viewers across India and beyond. In Ormax's 2022 streaming report, 88% of the people who watched Malayalam content lived outside Kerala.
| Route | Who it reaches | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| English to Malayalam | Malayalis in Kerala and the Gulf | English ads, courses and channels. Britannia's Bourbon, made in English, aired in 9 languages, Malayalam among them. |
| Hindi to Malayalam | Kerala viewers of a national campaign | Hindi ads and channels. The 50-50 Golmaal film above went from Hindi to Malayalam. |
| Malayalam to Hindi | Hindi viewers across India | Malayalam films and shows. Many are already dubbed into Hindi. With Lipsmatch, the mouth moves in Hindi too. |
| Malayalam to English | Viewers who speak no Malayalam | Malayalam lessons, talks and channels, in the speaker's own recreated voice. |

A Malayalam mouth for Kerala and the Gulf
In the Golmaal spot above, Original plays a Malayalam voice over lips that still move in Hindi. Lipsmatch moves those lips with the Malayalam, and the rest of the frame stays as filmed.
A Malayali family in Kochi or Dubai now sees the speaker talk to them in their own language.

Malayalam dubbing questions
How do I translate a video from English to Malayalam?
Send us the English video, and tell us if your viewers live in Kerala or the Gulf. We translate the English script into Malayalam, and you check it. Our technology recreates the speaker's own voice to speak it, with the original delivery. Then we change the mouth to match each Malayalam word, and you receive a new video file.
Can you translate a Hindi video to Malayalam with lip sync?
Yes. The 50-50 Golmaal film on this page was shot in Hindi. We delivered its Malayalam broadcast master with the mouth matched. If you have a Malayalam dub, send it. If not, we translate the Hindi script into Malayalam and recreate the speaker's own voice to say it. Our team checks every version before delivery.
Does YouTube auto dubbing support Malayalam?
Yes. YouTube can auto dub English videos into Malayalam, as a sound track in a generated voice. That dub swaps only the audio, so the lips still move in English. In a Lipsmatch version, the speaker's own recreated voice speaks Malayalam, and the mouth forms every word. A sound track cannot change the picture, so our Malayalam file goes up as its own video.
Can I translate my Malayalam video to English in my own voice?
Yes. We translate your Malayalam script into English and check it against your meaning. Our technology recreates your own voice to speak the English, and Lipsmatch matches your mouth to it. We use your voice and face only with the approvals you already have.
Which Malayalam dialect do you dub into?
We use standard Malayalam for most videos. It suits ads, lessons and channels for viewers in Kerala and the Gulf. Religious or community content can use the speech of its own listeners, such as Nasrani or Arabi Malayalam. We agree on the choice with you before we translate.
How much does Malayalam dubbing cost?
We quote each video after we see it. Send one scene first. We send it back in Malayalam, with the mouth matched, at no cost and with no commitment. The quote follows the minutes of video, the languages you add, and who makes the Malayalam dub. If you publish often, a monthly plan sets the hours of finished video and the languages, billed monthly.
