The company will demonstrate solutions for:

AppTek's one-of-a-kind automatic dubbing technology automates and accelerates the dubbing process to help content creators reach more audiences across the globe without the high costs and lengthy timelines involved in professional dubbing services. This next generation AI-enabled technology revolutionizes spoken translation for video assets by not only automatically transcribing and translating the original audio, but also presenting it back in the same voice and emotion of the source speaker while matching the time constraints and speaker changes within each media asset. By tapping into this technology, content producers can immediately unlock more value from existing media assets by extending their reach to new international audiences with a compelling viewing experience delivered at a fraction of the cost of professional services.

AppTek's adaptive text-to-speech (TTS) solutions offer high quality natural sounding synthesized speech that can be used for both offline dubbing as well as real-time speech generation. The speech synthesis solution is offered through AppTek exclusive voices or can be adapted to customer provided voices to recreate the speaking qualities of the original speaker with any given script. Media and entertainment professionals can now leverage natural, lifelike automated speech synthesis to offer their viewership engaging voiceover experiences.

Subtitling and Captioning Solutions for Media Localizers

AppTek's ASR and meta-aware MT technologies are designed to support the subtitling and captioning workflows of language service providers and content owners. They aim to reduce manual labor and accelerate production timelines by making use of content metadata, such as genre, style, speaker gender, etc. to produce more accurate machine translations. Furthermore, the company's highly advanced "Intelligent Line Segmentation" technology has been trained via neural networks on the segmentation decisions of professional captioners and subtitlers in order to deliver more accurately segmented automated subtitles which can provide a significant jump-start to professional workflows.

Live Automatic Captioning and Speech Translation

AppTek offers live automated captions for broadcasters through its OmniCaption 300 captioning appliance, a cost-effective stand-alone server installed with the latest advancements in ASR technology that resides on-premises and delivers real-time fully-automated closed captions with unmatched accuracy and speed.

Another element keeping sentiment low and impacting performance has been the fear of de-listing for U.S.-listed Chinese stocks.
