✦ AI Summary
Catenoid has launched AI speech recognition-based real-time captions and automatic translation features on its cloud-based live streaming platform Kollus LIVE.
The supported languages for real-time captions are Korean, English, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified), Spanish, French and Vietnamese, and the platform supports mixed Korean-English speech recognition as well as simultaneous original-language and translated captions.
After broadcasts end, language-specific SRT subtitle files are provided as .zip files, and Kollus Player lets users choose whether to display captions and select the language.
As live streaming is used more widely for corporate webinars, online training, public events and other formats, demand is also growing for caption support for audiences in multiple languages.
Catenoid operates Kollus LIVE, a cloud-based live streaming platform, and in response has launched AI speech recognition (STT, Speech-to-Text)-based real-time captioning and automatic translation features on Kollus LIVE. The new features are intended to improve the viewing experience and increase content operation efficiency for corporate customers.
Catenoid said the new features use AI to recognize live broadcast speech in real time, automatically generate captions from the recognized speech and also provide translated captions automatically.
Supported languages for real-time captions are Korean, English, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified), Spanish, French and Vietnamese. Catenoid described the launch and features as follows.
Catenoid said Kollus LIVE AI real-time captions support recognition of mixed Korean and English speech and provide both original-language captions and translated captions at the same time. This makes it easier for overseas viewers to understand the broadcast content.
The initial supported languages for translated captions are Korean and English. The company plans to gradually expand the supported languages based on customer demand. Catenoid said Kollus LIVE AI real-time captions reduce the time and cost burden of caption production compared with manual work.
After the broadcast ends, subtitle files for each language are provided in compressed file (.zip) format. As a result, no separate caption production is needed when converting a live video into a VOD replay.
Catenoid also highlighted Kollus Player features as part of efforts to improve viewing convenience and UX. In Kollus Player, users can choose whether to display captions and can also select the caption language directly. The caption display area adjusts automatically in line with caption length, and the maximum number of displayed lines is 3. This minimizes the amount of the video screen covered by captions.
Kim Hyeong-seok, CEO of Catenoid, said that as live streaming is rapidly spreading into education, corporate events, public sector uses and commerce, the importance of captioning and translation features that help viewers understand broadcasts without language barriers is growing. He added that Kollus LIVE offers AI real-time captioning and translation features, and said the functions will reduce the content operation burden for customers by supporting real-time captions during broadcasts and replay use after broadcasts.
