CLOVA Dubbing

What is CLOVA Dubbing?

Clova Dubbing is a voice dubbing service from Naver. Add text to a video or document and it layers a synthetic Korean voice on top. The mobile app shuts down on 20 July 2026, after which the service runs only on PC and mobile web.

• 1Start right away with your Naver account, no sign-up needed
• 2You place the voice directly on the video timeline
• 3The app was discontinued in July 2026; it is now web-only

What sets it apart

These are the differences we found by running the same material through several tools in our training sessions.

Same job, different approach

You need narration for a team announcement video, but recording your own voice feels like a hassle

Common uses

Who it’s for

Can we use it at work?

The questions that adoption leads and security teams ask first.

Please note: The specific free-usage limits, plan prices, and the scope of training-data use must be checked directly on the official page. Following the shutdown of CLOVA X and Cue: in April 2026, the direction of the CLOVA family of services may change, so check the latest announcements before adopting it.

10-minute quick start

1. 1

   Open CLOVA Dubbing in a desktop web browser and log in with your Naver account. The mobile app was shut down on July 20, 2026.

2. 2

   Create a new project and upload the video or document you want to add narration to.

3. 3

   Pick the points where scenes change, type in your sentences, and place each voice clip one by one.

4. 4

   Preview the whole thing, fix only the awkward sentences, then export. For company use, first confirm your plan allows commercial use.

Copy-and-paste prompts

Replace only the [bracketed] parts, then paste it in.

Hello. This is [department name]. / Starting this month, [change] takes effect. / Please follow the steps shown on screen in order. / If you have any questions, please contact [contact person].
(Instruction: place each sentence separately at the point where the scene changes, and use a single female announcer voice throughout)

① First screen: Today you will learn three things.
② Second screen: First, [Topic 1].
③ Third screen: Let’s look at the point people get wrong most often.
④ Final screen: In one sentence, today’s lesson is [key sentence].
(Direction: place each sentence at the moment its slide appears)

[Event name] will begin at [time]. / All attendees, please proceed to [location]. / If you need help finding your seat, please ask the staff member at the entrance.
(Direction: clear, slow announcement tone; insert a short sound effect between sentences)

Always wear protective equipment before starting work. / Do not leave the designated walkways. / If you notice anything abnormal, stop work and notify [department] immediately.
(Direction: low, firm tone; repeat the last sentence once more)

First, press and hold the power button for [3] seconds. / When the indicator light comes on, open the [Settings] menu. / Select a language and press OK, and you are ready to go. / If you run into a problem, see page [page] of the manual.
(Direction: split the sentences at each moment the on-screen action changes; speak slower than normal)

Using it with other tools

Linking two or three tools changes your work more than any single tool does.

Before you start

• Cloning a voice without the speaker’s consent is prohibited. Do not edit the provided voices to imitate a specific person.
• Using audio created under a personal or non-profit license in company promotions or in content you sell exceeds the permitted scope. For commercial use, see the Premium plan.
• The mobile app was discontinued on July 20, 2026. From now on, use the web version on desktop or mobile.
• Internal abbreviations and Sino-Korean terms are often read incorrectly. Rewrite them as they sound, and always preview the audio first.

Pricing

Where CLOVA Dubbing falls short

We don’t just list the positives. Here is what fell short when we used it.

• You can’t see the price at a glance

  Pricing is not laid out in a clear table on the official page, so finding out the cost means going through several guide documents. That is a hassle if you need to set a budget.

• It’s a hassle on a phone

  Now that the app is gone, you have to work in mobile web, and splitting the script and syncing timing on a small screen is tedious. You end up at a PC anyway.

• Punctuation can change how it reads aloud

  Where you put commas and line breaks changes where the voice pauses, so you end up revising and replaying the script several times until you get the rhythm you want.
