SOLUTIONS
Deepdub’s solutions – specifically tailored for the M&E industry – focus on enhancing the efficiency and quality of dubbing and voice-over processes. Their services cater to a broad range of media content including films, TV shows, documentaries, animations, video games, and corporate videos.
One of the core features of Deepdub’s offerings is their proprietary emotion-based text-to-speech technology (eTTS™) which allows the creation of human-like voices that carry emotional depth. This technology supports a broad spectrum of languages and dialects, ensuring content is localised authentically for global audiences. Deepdub also integrates voice cloning technology, which eliminates the need to re-record, thus saving significant time and resources while ensuring consistency in voice quality.
Deepdub’s platform offers an end-to-end solution where production teams can collaborate within a virtual AI studio environment. This setup not only streamlines the production process but also allows for high-quality, streaming-ready outputs. The platform’s capabilities include automatic audio splitting, cultural and linguistic adaptation, and integration with professional tools to output dubbed files in various formats like CSV, AAFF, SRT, WebVTT, AM4, and WAV.
By leveraging AI and deep learning, Deepdub reduces the turnaround time for dubbing projects—by up to 70%—and cuts costs by approximately 50%. Their approach ensures that media content can be efficiently and effectively localised, maintaining the integrity and emotional resonance of the original production across different languages and cultural contexts.
They also provide speech-to-speech translation, voice cloning without needing re-recording, and fine-tuning for accents across over 130 languages. This allows for seamless localisation of content on a global scale.
Their solutions promise up to 70% faster turnaround times and significant cost savings, supporting end-to-end collaboration in virtual studios.
