03 iFLY A/V Translation

AIGC Empowers International Communication

With the tide of globalization, cross-border communication is becoming increasingly frequent. However, language barriers have always been a major obstacle to communication. In order to solve this problem, iFLYTEK has launched a revolutionary product—iFLY A/V Translation. This product not only eliminates language barriers, but also provides a more vivid and natural interactive experience. iFLY A/V Translation’s multilingual subtitle creation function can generate subtitles in multiple languages in real time for videos and live broadcasts. Whether it is conference speeches, education and training or entertainment content, the audience can choose the appropriate language according to their needs and enjoy a barrier-free information acquisition experience. Powered by machine translation technology, iFLY A/V Translation quickly and accurately translates the original language into subtitles in the target language. This technology not only supports mainstream international languages but also covers more minor languages, ensuring that every user can communicate freely on a global scale.

Multilingual Voice Dubbing

iFLY A/V Translation's multilingual voice synthesis technology can convert text into fluent, natural and emotionally rich voice output. The application of this technology is not limited to voice broadcasting but can also be used in scenarios such as virtual assistants and intelligent customer service, providing a more humanized interactive experience.

Small-Sample Voice Cloning

With iFLY A/V Translation's small-sample voice cloning technology, users can clone their voice using just a few voice samples. This means that users can enjoy personalized voice assistants and even imitate native speakers' pronunciation in foreign language learning, improving learning efficiency. iFLY A/V Translation accurately separates the voice patterns of different speakers in a multi-person conversational environment, achieving accurate voice recognition and tranion. Using lip-driven technology, the synthesized voice and expressions can be adjusted in sync with the speaker's lip movements, making the virtual image more realistic. This technology has revolutionary significance in fields such as virtual reality and animation production.

The two-day conference revolved around the theme of "Vibrant Vision; Smart Horizons", and explored the innovative upgrade paths forward for the audio-visual industry through various forms of speech exchanges, interactive experiences and business visits. It focused on the development and application of artificial intelligence and ultra-high-definition technology in the field of full-media production and broadcasting, to promote industry collaborative innovation and jointly build a new pattern of intelligent full-media. Deepting will continuously improve its  technical capabilities, seize development opportunities, promote the deep integration of media, and innovate content production and dissemination methods to achieve  high-quality development in the broadcasting and television industry.
