Result

$1.12 to dub 60 min

STT + translate + TTS

Transcription (STT): $0.3600
Translation (LLM): $0.00838
Voice-over (TTS): $0.7560
Total: $1.12
Per minute: $0.0187

Dubbing combines speech-to-text, translation and text-to-speech. Enter video length to estimate the full per-minute and total cost across all three steps.

How this is calculated

Dubbing stacks three steps per minute of video: transcription (STT per minute), translation (LLM tokens from the transcript, ~words per minute × 1.33), and voice-over (TTS per character). We sum all three across the video length for a per-minute and total cost.

Is this a good result? What to do next

For long content, TTS voice-over usually dominates because it's billed per character of the full script. Each additional target language roughly repeats the translation and TTS steps, so multi-language dubbing multiplies quickly.

Typical planning ranges

TTS voice-over: usually the dominant step
Transcription: ~$0.003–$0.006/min
Each extra language: repeats translate + TTS

Ranges are typical planning figures to sanity-check your result, not authoritative benchmarks. Your numbers will vary with use case, volume, and vendor.
