Sound Effects in MediaCAT & EventCAT translates your Zoom meetings

March has been a momentous month for artificial intelligence, with groundbreaking advancements. As we move forward, it's becoming increasingly challenging to imagine a world without AI, and even more crucial to incorporate it into our media content localization endeavors. However, with great power comes great responsibility, as such we recognize that it’s incumbent upon us to  exercise caution and diligence with our AI development and application. At XL8, we understand how important this is, and therefore maintain the highest  integrity standards with our AI-powered localization solutions. With that in mind, we're thrilled to launch our March newsletter with a promise to provide unwavering support for your AI-powered localization needs. Let us help you stay ahead of the curve with the latest AI innovations and their practical applications in the world of media localization.

MediaCAT Feature Updates

SDH Support for Sync

MediaCAT's Sync feature has achieved a new milestone by being able to capture and caption a wide range of sound effects, including but not limited to gunshots and shattering glass.

Unlike other products in the market, MediaCAT's cutting-edge STT feature offers an unrivaled ability to accurately capture an extensive array of sound effects. This feature will improve the user experience not only for those who have difficulty with hearing, but also for individuals who prefer to watch videos without sound.

XL8 Launches Real-Time Translation App for Zoom Meetings, Showcases AI-powered Media Solutions at DEG EnTech Fest

XL8 is expanding its EventCAT interpretation technology into the online video conferencing world with a new app that delivers accurate real-time translation for your multilingual Zoom meetings. Our recent unveiling of the app at DEG’s EnTech Fest was met with major enthusiasm. "I'm listening to someone speaking a language I don't know, but it's amazing how quickly the app recognizes it and shows me subtitles in my language.” said one of the attendees who tried out our app, “Best of all, the conversation flowed smoothly. I can see many uses for this in the future, including work applications."

You can see the app in action in our recent Youtube video. The app uses the same core translation technologies as our EventCAT platform, so you can use your existing XL8 account to access our new Zoom app. If you’d like to try our app first hand, we welcome you to join our waitlist.

XL8 also show-cased its LiveSubs solution along with our core MediaCAT platform. XL8’s LiveSubs returns HLS, RTMP, and Zixi streams ready for large-scale CDN distribution. And, our award winning MediaCAT platform streamlines transcription, subtitling, and dubbing workflows harnessing the power of AI.
