The Power of the Veritone Voice Network with John Murphy
Podcasting is undeniably having a moment. Over the past few years, podcasts have seen a massive rise in popularity and currently have over 380 million listeners worldwide. And with such a huge global footprint comes a diversity of listeners who fall well outside the English speaking demographic. But how do you reach those listeners if you don’t speak their language? Creating translated versions of your episodes may seem like an easy solution, but producing and recording them comes with a bunch of extra costs, like renting space and sourcing equipment. It’s also a big demand on both your time and that of your guests. But what if there were an AI solution that could provide you with quick and easy vocal translation, in the original voice of your host? That’s where the new Veriton Voice Network comes in.
