Dubverse

AN ENDEAVOR REMOVING LANGUAGE BARRIER FROM VIDEO CONTENT THROUGH AI

Since the COVID-19 epidemic began, there has been a surge in the consumption of online video content across languages, requiring the dubbing of TV episodes and films into several languages. The future appears to be “dubbing on the go”, where videos are dubbed into numerous different languages with only one click, thanks to the growth of the creative economy— content producers, influencers, bloggers, etc.

As the pandemic-induced demand hit the market, Dubverse entered the market with the AI-powered video dubbing solution in 2021. Within one year of its inception, Dubverse carved a unique position for itself in the realm of AI-based video production. Dubverse is as simple as Video In – Video Out, dubbing video in 30+ languages in 150+ voices with a click of a button. Dubverse is further planning to facilitate additional content creation with tech, building tools around gen AI which can help boost scalability and also help present content be accessible to the world.

THE JOURNEY TO BECOMING A PIONEER
Varshul Gupta founded the Software as a Service (SaaS) platform Dubverse.ai after recognising the demand for dubbed media. Anuja Dhawan, an old acquaintance, and coworker later joined him. Thanks to technological advancements, it is now possible to preserve the tone and style of the original speaker. At Dubverse, they have travelled the entire way with constant innovation and R&D. For all of the significant technological breakthroughs, they adhere to the procedure listed below.

“I have personally observed a shift in the industry; brands are putting in greater effort to be more vernacular in their content, marketing, and especially training materials,” Dubverse is trying to bridge the gap and make it easier for brands to do so. Our Ai powered dubbing engine can save a lot of time and money while being even more efficient in the process,” Anuja Dhawan said when discussing the growth trajectory of Dubverse.

CRAVING OUT AS A DIFFERENTIATOR
Dubverse was envisioned to low down the barrier in constant creation by using generative AI. The supply of content is a concern. Thanks to the widespread acceptance of digital technology and more affordable and accessible internet, there is sufficient demand for content consumption, which is constantly growing. Dubverse has made significant technological progress, making it feasible to preserve the tone and fashion of the original speaker. The team is incredibly interested in the future of AI in media content. The following are significant reasons why the company stands out:

AI-powered video dubbing
Self-servable script editor
30+ Indian and Global Languages Covered
Folder and Team management
AI Subtitles for all languages
in-house voice cloning TTS technology
Accesible from any browser/desktop. No Specific Hardware requirements

Additionally, only a small percentage of languages and dialects are represented online, as English makes up 80% of all web traffic. It is incredibly challenging for any content developer to provide the same thing in all 4000 languages. Dubverse has become the natural extension to that where it’s very easy to dub any video from one language to any other.

SIGNIFICANCE OF R&D FOR THE COMPANY’S GROWTH
Being a deep tech, a significant percentage of the resources must go toward research and development. By making use of the first mover advantage, Dubverse stays in front of the innovation curve. They collaborate with academicians and AI consultants who are pioneering academic research and turning it into practical, marketable use cases.
