AI Video Dubbing Service 'mimidub' Officially Launches, Expanding Support to 200 Languages

Titan Intelligence Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Ikumi Akatsuka), under the mission 'Creating the Interesting Future,' has officially launched its AI dubbing service 'mimidub,' which reproduces even voice quality and emotion, and has opened its service website starting today. mimidub is an AI video dubbing service that multilingualizes video content while preserving the speaker's voice, emotion, and speaking habits. Previously offered as a beta version to limited partners, we have expanded language support to 200 languages and are now offering it to all customers with officially rights-cleared works. ◆ Background of the Official Service Launch In the global expansion of video content, multilingual dubbing remains a major challenge. Producing dubs with professional narrators costs millions of yen per language and takes several months, making the hurdle of multilingualization high for companies and creators aiming for global expansion. On the other hand, mechanical automatic dubbing has had quality issues such as 'inorganic voices' and 'lack of emotion,' making it difficult to multilingualize content without compromising the brand's worldview or the work's charm. mimidub was developed with the aim of 'enabling multilingualization at an accessible cost and speed for everyone, while maintaining voice quality and emotion.' ◆ Features of mimidub mimidub achieves the following three things simultaneously with its independently developed AI speech synthesis engine: ① Multilingualization while maintaining voice quality and emotion It is less prone to the 'inorganicness' or 'lack of emotion' common in conventional AI voice conversion, reproducing the original speaker's voice, emotion, and even speaking habits. We have received numerous evaluations stating that 'the reproduction of voice quality and emotional expression is overwhelming.' ② Rights Clearance Due to its nature of translating and dubbing while preserving the original voice quality and emotion, production can be carried out under proper rights clearance by obtaining permission from the original speakers (talents or voice actors). Our company recommends還元ing profits to the original voice actors and talents, and we will continue to build a system as a service to expand the opportunities for performers. (Please note that we cannot accept dubbing without rights/permission for the original work.) ③ 90% Cost Reduction and Delivery in as little as 3 Days Compared to traditional dubbing production, costs can be reduced by up to 90%. Delivery is possible in as little as 3 days, from production to supervision by native speakers. This enables overseas expansion that was previously not profitable. ◆ Supported Languages mimidub supports approximately 200 languages, covering a large portion of the world's population. In addition to English, Chinese (Simplified/Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Arabic, and Hindi, it also supports major languages in various regions such as Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, and Malay in Southeast Asia; Turkish, Persian, and Hebrew in the Middle East; and Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, and Finnish in Northern Europe. It broadly covers major global markets important for localization and overseas expansion. ◆ Expected Use Cases mimidub can be used in all industries and applications with the need to 'deliver content across language barriers.' Representative use cases are as follows: Global expansion of entertainment content such as anime, games, and characters. Overseas distribution and dubbing production of video works such as movies, dramas, and documentaries. Multilingualization of IR videos and corporate videos. Overseas expansion of educational content, e-learning, and corporate training videos. Global distribution of video content by media and publishers. Multilingualization of facility introductions and experience content for tourism and inbound visitors. Multilingualization of brand stories for cosmetics and fashion brands. International broadcasting of sports and e-sports tournaments. Multilingualization of public relations videos and disaster information from local governments and public institutions. Multilingualization of academic videos and explanatory materials for medical representatives in the medical and pharmaceutical fields. Global expansion of product introduction videos and tutorials for SaaS and tech companies. Multilingualization of product introduction videos for e-commerce sites and D2C brands. ◆ Functions and Support System Provided in the Official Version With the official release, we have established the following to ensure a wide range of customers can use our service with peace of mind: Provision of guidelines regarding voice rights clearance. Dedicated support system for corporate clients. Custom対応窓口 for enterprise use. ◆ A Comment from the CEO We now support 200 languages, but in the future, we plan to research and develop accent removal in supported languages, richer emotional expression, and the preservation of pitch for things like singing. To be honest, our technology is still just a machine and not yet at a level that can match human expression. Therefore, by focusing on how well we can convey the strengths of the original performers in other languages, we were able to develop a world-class expressive speech synthesis engine. Furthermore, the creation of a new profession, 'Dubbing Artist (吹替家),' who supervises and edits AI-dubbed audio, and their active role within our company, is another factor behind mimidub's high quality. We will not forget to use technology to expand opportunities for someone, rather than taking someone's job away, and will continue our future development towards our vision of 'Creating the Interesting Future.' ◆ Titan Intelligence Inc.
