"The BBC is piloting innovative new ‘virtual voice-over’ technology, which could change the face and voice of its international broadcasting. The new production tool will produce voice-overs and subtitles in multiple different languages for short video news packages online, using automatic translation and synthetic voice technology..... The tool, built by BBC News Labs, amalgamates existing technologies and allows a single editor to generate multi-lingual voiceovers on top of an existing video package and script. The script is translated automatically, edited by a journalist, and converted into a computer-generated voiceover. As the project develops automatic subtitles will be added. The pilot will be available in Russian and Japanese. It will allow audiences for those services access to many more video news packages, while the BBC hones the technology. The initial pilot will run until April 2016." Read full article at http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/latestnews/2015/bbc-virtual-voiceover-trans...
