Use case · Arabic dubbing
Arabic dubbing that lands in the right dialect, every time.
Studios dub for one language; creators dub for one country. Hakim ships 15 Arabic varieties (Khaleeji, Egyptian, Levantine, Maghrebi, and more) so the same source video can land naturally for Saudi, Emirati, Egyptian, or Moroccan audiences without re-recording. Consent-gated voice cloning preserves the original actor's identity in the target dialect.
Three steps from source to dub
Transcribe + translate
Upload source audio or video. Hakim Arab v2 STT transcribes the source in its native language, dialect-aware so colloquial speech survives the pass. Pipe the transcript through the translation provider you already use (DeepL, GPT-4, internal MT); we don't lock you into ours.
Voice + dialect selection
Pick a stock voice from the catalogue (filterable by dialect, gender, age, style) or clone the original actor's voice with consent. Tag the target dialect; Khaleeji for Gulf audiences, Egyptian for North Africa, Levantine for the Mashriq, Maghrebi for the Maghreb.
Render with timing controls
Stream the synthesis with sub-120 ms TTFB or render in batch with explicit duration controls per line so the dub matches the original timing. Emit MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG, or PCM. Webhook callback when the batch is ready.
Built for production dubbing
15 dialects, native quality
Every Arabic variety in Hakim Arab v2 was trained on native speakers from the region, not on MSA samples warped through a dialect tag. Khaleeji warmth, Egyptian energy, Levantine cadence, Maghrebi phonology; distinct, not interpolated.
Consent-gated voice cloning
Clone an actor's voice from a single sample with explicit consent capture, watermarking, and a non-repudiable audit trail. Built to clear the legal surface (EU AI Act transparency, UAE Federal Decree-Law 34/2021) by design, not by claim.
Per-line duration control
Dubbing requires the dub to fit the source timing. Pass a
duration_msper line and Hakim adjusts pace within natural prosody bounds, falling back gracefully when the constraint is impossible. No more eyeballing TTS speed multipliers.Studio-friendly outputs
Multi-format export (MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG, PCM), explicit sample rates (16 / 22.05 / 24 / 44.1 / 48 kHz), and per-line timing metadata returned alongside the audio so your editor (Pro Tools, DaVinci Resolve, Premiere) can place the dub on the timeline.

Studio dubbing pipelines
Replace the local-vendor workflow that dispatched lines to a recording studio in each Arab market. One API, 15 dialects, the same actor's cloned voice landing in every regional cut. Per-line timing metadata feeds your existing Pro Tools / DaVinci Resolve flow.
Creator video localization
YouTube creators dubbing English content into Arabic for the GCC audience. Pick Khaleeji or MSA depending on the target country, batch-process the script in <1 min per video, splice the audio in your editor of choice.
Podcast translation
Translate English podcasts into Arabic with Egyptian or Levantine narration so the cadence matches what listeners actually hear in the medium. Stream the Arabic version into your hosting platform's RSS feed.
Game + animation localization
Dialogue-heavy interactive content where every NPC needs a regionally-appropriate voice. Voice cloning lets you keep the same actor across languages while changing the dialect for the target market.
