Telestream has announced an update of its Qualify QC solution.
The latest version of the cloud-native quality control (QC) tool harnesses AI technology to power a number of upgrades, including an automated language detection feature that identifies spoken languages in media content.
Aiming to streamline workflows for broadcasters and streamers, the feature eliminates the need for time-consuming manual QC processes, enabling organisations to rapidly scale global operations and meet demand for content localisation, said the company.
Ravi McArthur, technical product manager at Telestream, commented, “Qualify redefines accuracy in language detection by expertly handling accents, regional dialects, and even challenging noisy audio environments. Unlike traditional systems, Qualify seamlessly integrates with workflows like captioning, translation, and localisation, empowering media organisations to streamline operations on a global scale. By bridging the gap where manual or rule-based solutions fall short, we are advancing the future of efficient, high-quality content distribution.”
Additionally, the Qualify upgrade provides:
- Integration with platforms such as Vantage and media asset management systems including Iconik. JSON reporting and customisable scripting capabilities also empower users to efficiently automate metadata tagging and transcoding.
- Comprehensive QC including AI-enabled profanity detection to ensure compliance across evolving regulations and standards.
- Dolby Atmos loudness compliance.
“New technical demands and increasingly rigid deadlines make quality control processes more complex and inefficient for global media companies,” added McArthur. “Qualify streamlines workflows and increases time-to-value while still ensuring impeccable quality and compliance. Leveraging the state-of-the-art PyTorch model, our automated language detection meets the demands of a global, multilingual audience without compromising on efficiency or quality.”
