🎙️ Meet CAMB.AI! A UAE-based mediatech startup that leverages speech AI technology to instantly dub performances in over 100 languages, dialects, and accents, while retaining the original voices and nuances.

And, they just raised $4 million in their seed funding round.

💰 Investor lowdown: The round was led by Courtside Ventures, along with TRTL Ventures, Blue Star Innovation Partners, Ikemori Ventures, and Eisaburo Maeda.

• TRTL and the Dubai Future District Fund were early investors in the company.

🔚 End to end 

Traditional translation and dubbing methods often miss the mark, failing to capture the emotional depth, subtleties, and colloquialisms that enrich content.

CAMB.AI's suite of video and audio production tools are engineered to enable creators to transcend linguistic, cultural, and geographical barriers.

• The key? They don’t just translate speech—they preserve the speaker's emotional intensity and nuances, ensuring content remains as impactful in any language.

⚙️ Break it down 

To address the challenges of voice localisation, CAMB.AI created two technologies from the ground up; MARS TTS and BOLI Translator.

• MARS TTS (Text-to-speech): Retains the original voice's emotional and tonal nuances, ensuring authentic and emotionally resonant dubbed content.
• BOLI translation LLM: Manages the complexities of various dialects and linguistic nuances, to provide translations that are both accurate and culturally resonant.

The aim? Inclusivity in global communication.

• CAMB.AI even processes less commonly supported languages like Afrikaans, Malay, and Basque!

🎾 Game. Set. Match.

At the 2024 Australian Open, CAMB.AI's technology provided AI-driven multilingual dubbing and translation for players' post-match press conferences ☝️
