3Play Media has introduced a new dubbing service that utilizes artificial intelligence with a human-in-the-loop approach to provide quick and efficient localization of video content.
This service offers a blend of human-edited scripts and AI voice matching, concluded by a human quality check, enabling the delivery of dubbed videos within days.
Service Features and Language Support
Initially, the service supports multiple languages including English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, and Spanish, with plans to add more languages in the future. Clients can upload videos directly to the 3Play Media platform or automatically via API or integration. Upon completion, the videos can be downloaded using the same methods. The service incorporates translation glossaries to maintain consistency in translations and strives to retain ambient sounds in the videos.
Executives Comment on the Market Need
Josh Miller, the co-CEO and co-founder of 3Play Media, highlighted the challenges in the current market for content localization, particularly for companies outside the major media sphere. He emphasized that traditional methods are economically and temporally prohibitive for many businesses, and the quality risks associated with fully automated dubbing could deter companies trying to enter new international markets.
Chris Antunes, also a co-CEO and co-founder, remarked on the company’s unique approach to combining technology and human expertise. He underscored the importance of reliable, cost-effective solutions that do not compromise on quality, which they have been developing over the past 15 years. According to Antunes, the robustness of their platform and its integration and API capabilities simplify the process for users, making it efficient to manage video assets on a large scale.
