The Future Tech stage hosted Steve Jones (Corrivum) and Tom Bridges (CaptionHub) to discuss the launch of Timbra, a real-time multimedia localisation suite developed by CaptionHub.
Bridges outlined the necessity of localisation, emphasising that only a small percentage of the global population spoke English as their first language, thereby highlighting the importance of reaching non-English speaking audiences. He detailed the challenges of existing localisation technologies, such as high costs, resource intensiveness, and technical constraints like high latency and single points of failure. Timbra aimed to address these challenges by providing a scalable, reliable, and easy-to-use solution that could handle multiple languages simultaneously with high accuracy.
Jones shared his experience using Timbra and CaptionHub's technology for large-scale events like AWS re:Invent and Oracle's Cloud World. He underscored the reliability and scalability of the platform, which could efficiently handle real-time translation into multiple languages, thus meeting the demanding requirements of live broadcasting. Jones illustrated the ease of setting up and managing live captioning projects using Timbra, noting its advantages over traditional methods, which were cumbersome and prone to failures. He demonstrated the platform's capabilities live, showcasing its seamless integration and real-time caption accuracy.
