What is XL8?
A Silicon Valley tech company at its core, XL8 takes AI-powered machine translation (MT), specially optimised for media content, to the next level. Its advanced technology allows significantly more efficient workflows by providing in-line editing, automated media transcription with time coding, automated subtitling, synthesised voice dubbing, real-time meeting interpretation, and live subtitling. XL8’s uniquely specialized translation engines have been built from the ground up utilizing professionally trained, human-perfected subtitles curated from the media industry’s top content producers. XL8 offers media-focused translation accuracy that is up to 40% higher than other generally available MT services.
Why use the XL8 MT engine?
XL8’s translation technology stands out from its competitors by using Context Awareness models to better translate colloquial phrases, thereby actually “localizing” content instead of simply translating it word for word. Furthermore, XL8’s translation engines can incorporate specific language formalities by recognizing the relationships among the characters in a show. XL8 features 2.5 billion+ words, and currently supports more than 77 language pairs. For more information visit xl8.ai or send a message to contact@xl8.ai.
