Yes. ElevenLabs’ Dubbing is available on all plans, and the Dubbing API is included even on the Free tier—no Enterprise plan required. (help.elevenlabs.io)

You can programmatically dub an English audio file into other languages using the POST /v1/dubbing endpoint (set source_lang and target_lang), then retrieve the result via GET /v1/dubbing/:dubbing_id/audio/:language_code. (elevenlabs.io)

For reference, the Dubbing API supports audio files (up to 1 GB and ~2.5 hours via API). (help.elevenlabs.io)

Short answer: No. The ElevenLabs API does not expose a parameter to pick a Chinese dialect (e.g., “Beijing”). Accent/dialect comes from the chosen voice, not from a language/dialect flag. (help.elevenlabs.io)

What you can do without an enterprise plan:

  • Select or clone a Mandarin voice that was trained with your desired accent (e.g., Beijing) and use that voice_id with Text-to-Speech. The Voice Library supports filtering by language first, then accent; pick an appropriate Chinese voice and call the API with its voice_id. (elevenlabs.io)
  • In your TTS request, set language_code to enforce Chinese text normalization (ISO 639-1, e.g., zh) and use a model that supports Chinese (e.g., eleven_v3, eleven_multilingual_v2, or eleven_flash_v2_5). (elevenlabs.io)
  • API access (including TTS) is available on all plans; you don’t need Enterprise for this. (help.elevenlabs.io)

Notes and limits:

  • There is no official way to force a specific Mandarin regional dialect via API; you achieve accent by selecting/creating an appropriate voice. (help.elevenlabs.io)
  • Pronunciation dictionaries can tweak specific words, but phoneme tags are English-only; for Chinese you’d rely on alias substitutions, which won’t guarantee a Beijing accent. (elevenlabs.io)

I'm not using a chosen voice, I'm using the voice of the source audio - even in the destination language. HeyGen, which uses ElevenLabs, can change dialect. I've also read ElevenLabs claim they can.
