plain X - AI Supported Multilingual Video Workflow Platform
Carlos Amaral | Peggy van der Kreeft
Proceedings of the 23rd Annual Conference of the European Association for Machine Translation

The plain X platform is a toolbox for multilingual adaptation, for video, audio, and text content. The software is a 4-in-1 tool, combining several steps in the adaptation process, i.e., transcription, translation, subtitling, and voice-over, all automatically generated, but with a high level of editorial control. Users can choose which translation engine is used (e.g., MS Azure, Google, DeepL) depending on best performance. As a result, plain X enables a smooth semi-automated production of subtitles or voice-over, much faster than with older, manual workflows. The software was developed out of EU research projects and has recently been rolled out for professional use. It brings Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the multilingual media production process, while keeping the human in the loop.
