Narakeet Launches AI Voice Subtitler
Narakeet today unveiled a video subtitle generator that uses text-to-speech artificial intelligence.
This solution converts written subtitles into lifelike audio narration. It allows companies to localize video content by automatically synchronizing the AI voice output to the subtitle and closed caption timestamps,
"Working together with clients from various industries, from religious organizations wanting to reach global audiences to large enterprises that need to offer internal training videos to their workforce in multiple languages, we have been developing and testing this solution over the last few months. It's very exciting to be able to open it to the general public," said Gojko Adzic, founder of Narakeet, in a statement. "Instead of wasting hours on aligning audio with video, this new tool makes it trivially easy to produce alternative language soundtracks. Just upload a translated subtitle file with original timestamps, choose one of our 600 realistic voice generators in 90 languages, and get a perfectly synchronized audio track in minutes.
"Realistic text-to-speech technology is now easily available online, but more complex usage scenarios often require programming skills and technical knowledge beyond the reach of the usual consumer," Adzic continued. "We are putting all that power in the hands of regular people, who don't have the time or skills to build their own processing systems."
The Narakeet subtitle audio generator supports both commonly used standards for subtitle files, SRT and WebVTT. It is available as an online tool for individual users, and as a developer API for companies that want to automate alternative audio track recordings for hundreds or thousands of videos.
