AI-Media is showcasing Lexi Voice, its real-time AI voice translation software, in Hall 5, marking the solution’s official launch into the European market.
Lexi Voice is speech-to-speech translation (S2ST) with the largest selection of translation engines and synthetic voices to deliver natural-sounding, real-time alternative language tracks for live broadcasts.
“With Lexi Voice entering the European market, broadcasters and event organisers can deliver multilingual experiences that break down language barriers like never before,” said Tony Abrahams, CEO, AI-Media. “We’re proud to lead the way in redefining how audiences connect with content globally.”
The company is using IBC to pitch the product to broadcasters, content creators and event organisers in Europe who need to meet new compliance standards under the European Accessibility Act (EAA).
AI-Media is also debuting Lexi Ad, a fully AI-automated audio description solution designed to make video content more accessible for audiences with vision impairment. Unlike traditional ad workflows, Lexi Ad automates the process, delivering descriptions up to 90% faster and more cost-effectively, supported by smart facial recognition, customisable narration and seamless integrations.
