NEW YORK, Sept. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — In a global news channel first, Newsmax is working with SyncWords to provide live AI-powered translated breaking news and analysis in local languages.
Starting with Spanish, SyncWords is dubbing and subtitling Newsmax’s 24/7 news channel from English to local languages using an advanced AI platform following successful trials earlier this summer. Newsmax is in active discussions with international distributors, and those in the U.S., about adding additional local language options.
SyncWords generates accurately translated AI subtitles and voice dubs in over 100 languages. SyncWords’ reseller, Orasi Media, brokered the innovative partnership.
Andy Biggers, SVP Distribution, Newsmax said: “As part of its mission to deliver news that improves lives and strengthens freedoms, Newsmax is proud to be the first news network to use live dubbing to deliver its coverage and analysis to new audiences around the world in local languages, making access to important stories more inclusive. Newsmax’s collaboration with SyncWords will enhance its distribution opportunities and help deliver the channel in new markets, allowing it to provide coverage of U.S. politics and policy that impact people around the globe, including the upcoming presidential election in November.”
“Our collaboration with Newsmax is a testament to how we enable broadcast and streaming companies to expand their viewership and grow revenues by licensing their content to distributors in new regions in their native languages,” added Ash Shah, CEO of SyncWords. “Our cutting-edge AI-driven subtitling and dubbing platform modules and easy-to-use APIs are key to speed deployment timelines while delivering a top-quality service that is easy to scale.”
The collaboration between Newsmax and SyncWords allows non-English speaking viewers immediate access to breaking news, dubbed and/or subtitled in real time, demonstrating the transformative power of AI in news broadcasting.
