Limecraft and OOONA announce a partnership, integrating Limecraft’s Media Intelligence system into OOONA’s media localization platform.
Ghent, Belgium, 9 April 2024
Limecraft pioneered fully automated AI subtitling in the industry and has perfected its spotting algorithm, enabling well-known broadcasters and streaming platforms to achieve significant time and cost savings by creating high-quality subtitles from transcripts with just a single button press.
With the exponential growth of content production and the need to extend its reach, semi-automated processes have proven to be more efficient and cost-effective in subtitle production. Recent measurements reveal that the Limecraft and OOONA partnership can reduce subtitle creation time by up to 80%.
Maarten Verwaest, Limecraft’s co-founder, highlights, “When we first started talking with OOONA, we were about to cross the threshold of 2% error rate in dialogue accuracy. We have since smashed that benchmark and now offer industry-leading levels of accuracy and, by association, efficiency. We are very pleased that our solution is being integrated into the OOONA toolkit and experienced by an even wider user base. Customers should not have to worry about the technical integration of individual applications. Both OOONA and Limecraft are committed to providing seamless integration in terms of performance and user experience. By taking care of technical complexity, we free up valuable time for our users to concentrate on more creative tasks.”
Alex Yoffe, OOONA Tools Product Manager, explains, “We are continuously working on enhancing the automation functionalities we offer in our toolkit. Human language technologies are a big part of this puzzle: speech recognition, machine translation and synthetic voices too.”
Wayne Garb, co-founder and CEO at OOONA, emphasizes, “Limecraft has done a great job offering best-in-class speech recognition technologies for the subtitling use case. We are committed to improving customer experience through partnerships like these and are very happy to add Limecraft to the third-party technologies we make available to our users.”
