Our main focus has been honing in on speech, especially its expressiveness, because that’s what keeps viewers hooked. When folks ponder AI, they tend to fixate on speed and cost, overlooking other vital aspects. Quality is paramount, and for us, it boils down to watchability. That means ensuring the audience is captivated, sticking around for the duration, and minimizing drop-off rates. Our research revolves around making content as captivating as possible.
Our strategy focuses on excelling in a select few areas within AI. We prioritize languages with strong dubbing preferences and disruptive market potential. Starting with translating English into seven languages, we expand only when confident in quality. Our initial focus is on Latin American, US Hispanic, and European markets, including Arabic as a service.
