Update: Virtual Voice-Over Tool for Multilingual Journalists
BBC News Labs and BBC Digital Development have produced an innovative tool called “ALTO” which assists multilingual journalists in re-versioning news video content. ALTO combines a number of language technologies to allow a single language journalist to generate multilingual voice-overs.
BBC innovates voice-over technology
We have launched an online pilot service that offers continuous video play in different languages to our global audiences. In this joint effort with the BBC World Service and Global News Ltd we are trying out the latest language technology: machine translation and computer-generated voices.
BBC collaboration to build multilingual media monitoring system
We want to build an automated system that will not only monitor hundreds of international TV channels, radio stations, online articles and social media; this system will also be able to observe trends and detect news stories and events in several languages.
