Papercup’s AI tech automatically dubs video content into foreign languages with voice ‘indistinguishable from human speech’
A Britishartificial intelligence startup that helped Sky News and YouTube stars translate their video content into foreign languages has secured £8m in funding to expand its speech-dubbing venture.
Papercup, which was founded three years ago, attracted early investors including William Tunstell-Pedoe, whose business was acquired by Amazon to help develop Alexa, and Uber’s former artificial intelligence chief Zoubin Ghahramani. Now it is targeting the millions of hours of content companies such as Netflix need to translate.
