3Play Media Revolutionizes Localization With Human-In-The-Loop Ai Dubbing Services

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--3Play Media, the leading media accessibility provider in North America, is pioneering an innovative human-in-the-loop AI Dubbing solution. At launch, the new AI Dubbing product combines human-edited transcripts and translations with best-in-class AI voice matching to produce a premium, cost-effective, and highly accurate audio track at scale.“Outside of top-tier media, the economics and timelines of content localization don’t work for most companies,” Josh Miller, Co-CEO and Co-Founder of 3Play Media, said. “And frankly, the quality of fully automated dubbing is a brand risk for organizations trying to enter international markets. Global companies, emerging media, and publishers are looking to balance cost without sacrificing accuracy and quality.”“3Play Media is addressing AI Dubbing differently than the rest of the market - for the last 15 years, we have built our business on combining technology and people to produce cost-effective, quality captions, subtitles, and audio description at scale. We deeply understand the value of human-in-the-loop AI solutions, and are excited to launch an AI Dubbing product that organizations can trust,” Co-CEO and Co-Founder, Chris Antunes added. “Unlike new-to-market solutions, we also have a robust platform, integrations, and API workflows that are designed for ingesting and delivering video assets at scale, making the user experience seamless.”Benefits of 3Play Media’s AI Dubbing3Play Media’s AI Dubbing product offers exceptional quality and accuracy at a fraction of the cost and turnaround of traditional, human voice artist dubbing solutions

Thriving Through Vision Loss: 5 Bostonians On Identity, Career Growth And Giving Back

Twenty-two years ago, Nina Livingstone’s world went very dark and very quiet. The writer, journalist and public speaker lives with Usher syndrome, a rare genetic disease that affects both sight and hearing. Prior to becoming fully deafblind in 2000, Livingstone seized the opportunity to explore everything she could, from filmmaking to music composition. “I wanted to make use of what I had, when I had it,” she said. “I didn’t want to become or let it consume my head that I was a person with deafness or blindness. I was a person before anything else.”
