OOONA, a leading provider of professional management and production tools for the media localization industry, announced today a partnership with Voiseed to launch a groundbreaking new course entitled Introduction to AI Speech Editing . The course addresses the growing demand for skilled professionals who can work with synthetic voices in AI-powered dubbing workflows. It will be hosted on the OOONA EDU platform.

A Milan-based AI startup, Voiseed specializes in creating multilingual expressive voice content to support the localization of any type of video. Co-founded by Andrea Ballista, a veteran in the audio localization field, the company has developed patented speech synthesis technology called xpressive. The latter enhances synthetic voice generation with eight core emotions. These ensure that every line of dialogue feels authentic and culturally resonant. xpressive forms the backbone of Voiseed's Revoiceit platform a virtual studio designed to streamline workflows for synthetic voice editing.

Through this partnership, OOONA's EDU platform will host a self-paced, interactive course designed to provide localization professionals with a solid foundation in digital audio fundamentals. Participants will gain the knowledge they need to evaluate AI-generated audio for technical and linguistic accuracy. They will also learn editing techniques for prosody, phonemization, pronunciation and reading pace. This will allow them to develop the skills needed to step into the rapidly growing role of AI speech editors in new AI-driven dubbing workflows.

There is an urgency to leverage technology to improve the efficiency of the content creation process so as to succeed in increasingly competitive international markets, says Andrea Ballista, Voiseed co-founder and CEO. The current state of the art in synthetic speech can now support emotion detection and transfer but localization professionals remain essential to ensure a high-quality result is achieved. Our goal with this course is to empower professionals to familiarize themselves with new AI technologies and master the skills needed to integrate them in their workflows.

We are very pleased to introduce a course on synthetic speech editing to our EDU platform, adds Wayne Garb, OOONA co-founder and CEO. There is a significant skills gap in the localization market for professionals proficient in handling synthetic voices effectively that we hope to address. This course reflects our commitment to leading innovation in the media localization field and helping the market grow.
