Quick answers
What is the difference between AI dubbing and an AI avatar?
AI dubbing translates video you have already filmed, keeping your real presenter and matching their lip movement to the new language. An AI avatar, or digital human, is a life-like presenter generated from a script, so no new filming is needed.
Can I update a translated video without re-filming?
With a Guildhawk digital human, yes: edit the script and every language version updates. With dubbing, you re-film the changed section and dub it again.
Is AI translation accurate enough for regulated content?
With Guildhawk, every script is verified by specialist linguists before the video is produced, in both formats.

Which should you choose?
Match the format to the content. Many clients use both.
Choose AI dubbing when
- You already hold a library of filmed training
- The presenter's own performance carries the message, as in leadership messages and testimonials
- Content is stable and rarely changes
- Original footage of sites, equipment and demonstrations must stay intact
Choose a digital human when
- You are creating new training or compliance content from a script
- Procedures and policies change often and must stay current in every language
- You need many languages from one consistent presenter
- Your presenter has little time to film
