As legendas e a dublagem com IA estão ficando mais rápidas e precisas, mas quanto da intervenção humana ainda é necessária? Quando se trata de aproveitar as ferramentas modernas, uma abordagem híbrida é essencial para uma localização audiovisual eficaz.

Na eSteno Media Services, estamos adotando novos avanços tecnológicos e desafios emergentes na indústria de localização audiovisual. Oferecemos uma solução híbrida que ajuda sua empresa a se preparar para um futuro impulsionado pela IA e centrado nas pessoas. E human-centric future.

Tecnologias Emergentes que Estão Influenciando a Indústria Hoje

A indústria do entretenimento está experimentando um aumento significativo na produtividade graças às legendas com IA, dublagem automatizada e tecnologia de edição. No entanto, muitos clientes ainda estão divididos sobre a eficiência da IA em comparação com o trabalho humano.

The human vs AI conversation is an ongoing dialogue that won’t change anytime soon. According to a Statista study, customers still preferred human work for storyboards, music, and spoken acting. On the other hand, customers consider AI tools better suited to foreign language dialogue and editing backgrounds.

You shouldn’t have to choose between AI tools and a human touch. Our legacy of excellence over two decades has proven that the more things change in audiovisual localization, the more things stay the same.

The customer experience demands accessible, accurate, and emotionally resonant content. With eSteno by your side, you ensure you’re always delivering the quality they’ve come to expect.

Growing Viewer Preferences Around Accessibility

AI tools are slowly, but surely connecting content and people with disabilities. AI can help with everything from creating faster captions to providing alt text for images.

Ongoing studies have found compelling use cases on how AI tools can help people living with aphantasia, speech issues, or brain fog. As such, businesses that want to lean on AI tools for audiovisual localization have several opportunities to respond to increasing demand for accessibility.

While the future for AI tools in audiovisual localization looks bright, there are still several challenges to be aware of.

Anticipated Challenges and Fresh Opportunities for Localization

Audiovisual localization AI is a powerful resource, saving translators and actors time creating compelling work for today’s hungry audience. However, a few limitations make AI tools better as a supplemental tool than a replacement for people.

–       Dubbing and Lip-Syncing

Accuracy vs low-cost production is already a fine line to straddle, but AI can miss out on dubbing’s finer details. For example, spoken lines that appear out-of-sync with lip flaps can make a movie or show seem low-quality.

This seemingly minor detail can ruin immersion and lower viewership ratings. While modern CC software has improved by leaps and bounds, a hybrid approach is crucial to maintain human nuance in modern toolsets.

–       Subtitle Composition and Speed

Another challenge facing AI localization is making sure subtitles fit neatly onto the screen and keeping pace with spoken dialogue. While AI tools offer more speed in production, a human touch is key for adding nuanced details that make a memorable viewing experience. This difference is why eSteno offers businesses a hybrid solution that strengthens – not dilutes – the human impact.
