Language Syllable Expansion & Studio Tier Reference
Why translated scripts change duration — and how Bilingual Script Editing keeps voice-overs locked to picture.
| Target Language Group | Duration Multiplier | 1,500-Word Script Runtime | Studio Pacing Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chinese (Mandarin & Cantonese) | 0.95x (-5% compact syllables) | ~9.5 mins (at 150 WPM) | Compact syllable density fits source lip-sync slots cleanly. |
| Malay & Indonesian (BM / BI) | 1.18x (+18% syllable expansion) | ~11.8 mins (at 150 WPM) | Polysyllabic phrasing runs ~18% longer than English; script tightening keeps on-camera lip sync crisp. |
| Japanese & Korean | 1.08x (+8% honorific phrasing) | ~10.8 mins (at 150 WPM) | Polite corporate registers (Keigo / Haeyo-che) add ~8% spoken duration. |
| Spanish & Portuguese | 1.20x (+20% Romance expansion) | ~12.0 mins (at 150 WPM) | Spanish & Brazilian Portuguese expand ~20%; time-fit editing avoids rushed delivery. |
| German, French & Italian | 1.22x (+22% European expansion) | ~12.2 mins (at 150 WPM) | Compound nouns and Romance clauses expand ~22%; condense lines in the Bilingual Script Editor. |
| Arabic (MSA & Gulf) | 1.15x (+15% formal phrasing) | ~11.5 mins (at 150 WPM) | Modern Standard Arabic adds ~15% spoken duration on formal corporate scripts. |
| Tamil, Hindi, Thai & Vietnamese | 1.16x (+16% regional expansion) | ~11.6 mins (at 150 WPM) | Tamil and South/Southeast Asian scripts benefit from syllable-aware script adaptation. |
| Global / Localised English (US, UK, SG, MY) | 1.00x (1.0x baseline) | ~10.0 mins (at 150 WPM) | Matches English source timing 1-to-1 for accent & persona swaps. |
Calculator & Pricing FAQ
Questions about dubbing & voice-over pricing
Clear answers on word-to-minute conversion, volume discounts, commercial rights, and local currency invoicing.
How many words equal 1 minute of voice over across languages?
In English corporate narration, 150 words equal roughly 1 minute (125 WPM for calm e-learning; 170 WPM for upbeat commercials). When translating into Malay, Indonesian, Spanish, French, or German, syllable counts typically expand by 15%–22%, whereas Mandarin and Cantonese run ~5% more compact. Our calculator applies these expansion factors automatically.
How much does AI dubbing and AI voice over cost per minute?
Self-serve AI dubbing and AI voice over in Pikka Dubbing (dubbing.pikkaai.com) starts at USD 24.90/min for 1–10 minutes, drops 20% to USD 19.90/min for 11–30 minutes, and drops 40% to USD 14.90/min for 31+ minutes—including a Bilingual Script Editor and up to 5 free rounds of script editing and voice regeneration. Managed Hybrid AI + ISO 17100 native linguist QA typically ranges from USD 35–49/min depending on volume.
What happens if my translated script is too long for my video's lip-sync slots?
When effective target speed exceeds ~165–170 words per minute, voice delivery can sound rushed or drift from on-camera lip movements. In Pikka Dubbing's Bilingual Script Editor (or via Translife's native adaptation team), lines are tightened by 10%–15% before voice synthesis, with 5 free voice regenerations included at no extra charge.
Can Translife invoice managed voice over and dubbing projects in MYR or SGD?
Yes. While self-serve cloud sessions on dubbing.pikkaai.com bill instantly in USD, enterprise and agency projects managed by Translife can be quoted and invoiced in MYR (Malaysia), SGD (Singapore), or USD—including e-Invoice / GeBIZ / corporate vendor onboarding.
Do I need speaker voice cloning, or can I use commercially cleared AI voices?
Both are included at the same per-minute rate. Choose Original Speaker Voice Clone when preserving a founder, instructor, or host's identity, or choose Do-Not-Need-To-Clone curated studio personas for e-learning, IVR phone systems, and commercials without biometric voice-release paperwork.
