Tool

A web-based application for rapidly navigating, transcribing and translating audio and video content

Tool job view

  • Allows a user to quickly and easily create transcriptions and translations of audio and video content
  • Access all the different transcription and translation vendors, through the EuroVOX API
  • Easily and quickly correct automated transcriptions and translations: text, sentence structure, timings
  • Export transcriptions and translations in different formats
  • Re-render content with embedded or burned-in subtitles, or a synthetically spoken audio track.

How does it work?

The tool uses the EuroVOX Core API for transcribing, translating and voice synthesis. It has its own business logic for handling phrases, jobs and user permissions.

Content can be processed manually by users, or automated using an API within the tool. This allows for content to be uploaded, transcribed, translated and rendered with subtitles or revoiced, fully automated - with the ability for a user to check or make corrections at a later stage.

What can it be used for?

  • News monitoring - currently being used as a key part of the EBU News Monitoring project, the tool can be used to help multilingual newsrooms integrate with each other.
    • News produced in one location can be processed and translated for use by other locations.
    • Stories and videos can be automatically ingested from across the globe and translated for your local teams
  • Faster news production - by lowering the barriers between languages, your teams can save time and money both in terms of production and distribution.
    • Your stories and content can be quickly transcribed and translated into other languages to increase reach.
    • Foreign language contributions can be quickly translated, navigated and clipped for professional voicing, further production
  • Archive processing - Archive content can be automatically ingested and made available for verification and correction using the tool.
  • Social media - Video clips can be subtitled and translated for publishing on social media.

How can I try it?

We currently host the tool for use by EBU members at https://tool.eurovox.io. Please log in using your EBU SSO credentials. For first time users, this will give the message access denied - at this point you should send an email requesting access and we will get back to you as soon as we can.

For non members, the code will shortly be released as opensource, meaning you will be able to host your own copy of the tool.
