As media professionals increasingly seek innovative solutions for content localization, XL8's MediaCAT emerges as a pivotal tool, redefining what's possible. Its Sync feature, renowned for its automatic transcription capabilities, is just the beginning. MediaCAT isn't just another localization platform – it's your all-in-one solution that combines AI-powered transcription with XL8's cutting-edge machine translation engine, supporting over 50 languages.
Reflecting on the potential of these technologies, Josh Pine, our Chief Revenue Officer, noted: "These new technologies bring important new options to global content monetization and help take down the barriers to distributing worthy programming to new audiences." This isn't just about streamlining workflows for new content – it's about breathing new life into your backlog content, helping it reach eager audiences worldwide who've been waiting to discover it.
What sets MediaCAT apart? Let's break it down:
Lightning-Fast and Incredibly User-Friendly Want to know what "fast" really means in the MediaCAT world? Picture this: an hour-long content translated in just a minute or two. But wait, there's more – need to run hundreds of translations simultaneously? Go grab that coffee break; they'll be ready when you return.
Sure, we all know machine translation is quick, but MediaCAT's real speed breakthrough lies in its project setup. Forget about wrestling with complex metadata entry or jumping through technical hoops. Just tell us your source language, pick your target languages, upload your files, and you're off to the races. Want to fine-tune things with custom glossaries or technical specifications? Those options are there if you need them, but they're never a barrier to entry.
Precision That Makes a Difference
MediaCAT's power lies in its unique combination of speed and accuracy. XL8's machine translation engine has consistently outperformed competitors in third-party evaluations, and here's something to celebrate: in a recent 2024 independent blind test involving eight different NMT engines, industry experts crowned XL8 as the best translation engine.
Why does this matter for your bottom line? Our research shows that a 5 percentage point increase in MT quality translates to approximately 7% faster lead times and 11% cost savings. That's the power of precision at work.
