Straker Translations, listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX:STG), will provide its artificial intelligence-driven localised translation services to major US TV production studio for multiple TV series for the Latin America market.

The NZ$1m deal for services that will be completed by March 2020 will be the first time a television studio uses an advanced translation platform that incorporates artificial intelligence and machine translation algorithms to power automatic speech recognition to transcribe, translate and understand the nuances of actors’ dialogue while adhering to specific standards for sub-titling.

This significantly increases translation automation before finally being edited by human translators through technical quality control and post-edition workflows.

Straker’s fully integrated platform enables the studio, which is undisclosed for competitive reasons, to substantially reduce the time needed to localise TV shows by translating Latin America market, enabling quicker release times in those markets and decreasing the risk of piracy and associated security and authentication concerns.
