Having provided subtitling services for years, Wiitrans has now applied the latest AI technologies with the WiiMedia media localization platform.
By tapping the potential of AI speech recognition, natural language processing, big data, and neural machine translation, WiiMedia optimizes the subtitling process, and automates the transcription, time-coding, and translation stages.
We strive to stay ahead of technological developments to advance the intelligent transformation of the industry, streamlining repetitive workflows to offer producers and distributors of video content more efficient, quick, and low-cost localization services.
WiiMedia offers a media localization solution for the entertainment, sports, education, and marketing industry domains. We are able to meet the diversified needs of clients by utilizing the latest technologies.
With WiiMedia, clients can benefit from a complete one-stop solution to their transcription, subtitling, time-coding, translation, video compression, post-production, and other multimedia needs, instead of coordinating their projects across several vendors.
AI technologies perform transcription with speech recognition, deep learning, time-coding, and neural machine translation with human post-editing. This new model of “AI Transcription + Subtitling Engine + Professional Editing” shortens the turnaround time for 5 times as much capacity as manual workflows.
The deep integration of AI technologies to complete highly repetitive work reduces the amount of labor required and decreases costs by about 50% compared with conventional workflows. WiiMedia is key to our Wiitrans Media Localization Solution, and features custom service flows and transparent pricing.
Audio files undergo specialized processing before the content is automatically transcribed into text with speech recognition technique. The final scripts are ready for use once they have been post-edited professionally. WiiMedia transcribes an hour-long video in just 10 minutes, which is almost 20 times as efficient than manual transcription.
The AI-transcribed subtitles can be instantly pre-translated with our in-house dedicated WiiMT, an integrated neural machine translation engine that has been trained with tens of millions of sentences of high quality subtitle-corpus, ensuring that the accuracy of translations are above the market average. As a guide, WiiMedia raises subtitling efficiency for an episode in a television series by about 5 times comparing with conventional process.
The subtitles generated then have to be synchronized with the audio. Inputting time stamps is a process that takes both time and labor. As such, WiiMedia uses natural language processing to identify when the speaker pauses or ends a sentence to insert time codes automatically while the audio is being transcribed. With additional human post-editing process, WiiMedia ensures the accuracy of time-coding for the final version of the video.
WiiMT, our proprietary translation engine, has been trained with tens of millions of sentences in genres, such as TV and movies, documentaries, and variety. Thanks to the continuous tuning of the engine, translations of a higher-than-average quality can be produced at a more budget-friendly price. WiiMedia also comes with an online term base and translation memory tool to ensure accurate terminology right from the draft.
Based on style guidelines for the video content, WiiMedia can perform customized checks and specify where errors occur. Automating the review of items, such as number of lines in a shot, character limitations, reading speed, numbers, high-frequency words, and punctuation, to minimize the risk of human error, ensuring consistent and accurate subtitles.
WiiMedia can process .avi, .mp4, .flv, .rmvb, .f4v, and other mainstream video formats. To satisfy various requirements from our clients, the exported files can display the final subtitles alone, or together with the source in a top or down layout. And WiiMedia exports the SRT, ASS/SSA subtitle files with just one single click.
Our WiiMedia AI media localization system is integrated with our project management cloud platform - WiiCloud. Editing of the neural machine translation drafts by linguists takes place entirely online, without the need to download large video files. Our project managers centrally manage the entire life cycle, including file processing, linguist assignments, quality control, progress monitoring, and final delivery.
WiiMedia’s real-time tracking feature allows project managers to stay on top of project progress for on-time delivery. For ease of mind, clients can log in online to check on the project at anytime.
