In today’s global content landscape, it’s common to encounter media where multiple languages are spoken by the characters throughout the content. Transcribing multilingual content manually can be challenging, especially if you don't have the right linguistic resources readily available. This is where MediaCAT's Multilingual Sync, an AI-powered transcription feature, comes into play. With MediaCAT, you can seamlessly transcribe content that features multiple languages while leveraging MediaCAT’s AI to simplify the process. Here’s how you can make the most of this powerful tool.

Step 1: Upload Your Multilingual Content

The first step in utilizing MediaCAT’s Multilingual Sync is to upload your multilingual content. When doing so, you have the option to specify the languages spoken within the content. This step is optional, but it can significantly enhance the accuracy of the transcription. By providing the list of languages, you help the AI focus its efforts, leading to more precise results. If you’re unsure of the languages included in the content, simply select “Multilingual” for the source language, and the AI will automatically detect the different languages spoken.

Step 2: Edit the AI-Generated Transcription

Once the AI transcription is complete, MediaCAT provides an intuitive editor where you can review and refine the transcription. While our AI achieves up to 95%+ accuracy for our best-performing languages, we recognize that no AI is perfect. This is why MediaCAT incorporates a “human in the loop” (HITL) workflow. The HITL approach allows users to make necessary adjustments to ensure the transcription is accurate and ready for further processing. In this step, you can also assign or correct the detected languages within the subtitles, which is crucial for any subsequent translation tasks.

Step 3: Translate the Edited Multilingual Content

After finalizing the transcription, you can effortlessly translate the content into other languages using MediaCAT’s translation engine. By selecting “Multilingual” as the source language and choosing your desired target languages, MediaCAT will translate the content in one go. This streamlined process saves time and ensures consistency across all translations.
