YouTube will use artificial intelligence to quickly double the videos put on the platform.
This was one of the promises of the new management: to offer AI tools to content producers on the platform. A measure mentioned just a few months ago and which should soon bring something new for the dubbing of videos on the platform.
Aloud to report
On YouTube, many of us consume videos produced abroad, and therefore in a language that may escape us. In general, to find us there, it may be necessary to activate subtitles that are not particularly precise. Aware of this small problem, the video streaming giant will soon offer a new dubbing service.
For this, he will call on a team from the company Aloud, from its internal incubator Area 120 by Google and which offers a dubbing service powered by AI. Its use is simple: the artificial intelligence analyzes the video, transcribes its content so that it can be checked by the creator, and once the whole has been validated, proceeds to the translation, then behind, to the dubbing.
Some languages currently available
The new feature is already being tested by several hundred creators on the platform, according to an official interviewed by The Verge. Currently, the tool only works with three languages, English, of course, as well as Spanish and Portuguese. But many other idioms should soon be added. AI capabilities should also be improved to ” cause [d’ici 2024,] translated audio tracks sound like the creator’s voice, with more expression and lip sync “.
This enhancement to the video translation tool is not new to the Alphabet Group. He had indeed already presented last month his “Universal Translator”, a tool whose AI was able to directly translate a video into another language, to duplicate this same video, and finally to reinsert the translated speech into the images of ‘origin. This performance was astonishing, as the voice and the movement of the lips had been perfectly adapted. Is it the latter that YouTube implements today?
