Adapt cuts localization time by 45%

Adapt is an end to end localization service provider focused on combining new AI enabled tools with regional localization experts. Last month they switched to Scribe, our Speech to Text model, to speed up their transcription workflow and they've already seen material time savings.

Many transcription models hallucinate when processing multi-language dialogue. Adapt struggled finding tools that could transcribe content that switched from Arabic to Hebrew. Their tools could transcribe the Arabic accurately but when the content switched to Hebrew it would still be transcribed in Arabic, creating unintelligible outputs. ElevenLabs handles these situations better thanks to our multilingual capabilities, thus reducing errors and time spent for review and saving Adapt time, which directly translates to cost savings as well. 

Even with English source content Adapt benefited from material time savings.  Adapt recently used Scribe to transcribe Willa, a short film produced by Corey Mayne,  Scribe was able to reduce the time spent by Adapt to get to their final transcript by 45%. 

Scribe correctly understands sentences, creates the right blocks, picks up words that were missed by other models, and even captures sound cues and flags properly, all this contributed towards time and labor savings in Adapt’s localization process. In this sample below, you can see how the final cut from the producers matches Scribe's transcript perfectly, whereas the previous tool used by Adapt creates time misaligned blocks, which forces the producer to break it down and properly time sync it so it matches the audio on screen and the pace of narration.

Given these results, Adapt Global integrated ElevenLabs in all their workflows so it can benefit all their clients. 

“We’ve been extremely impressed by the capabilities and quality of ElevenLabs voice generation and dubbing products, so we were excited to test Scribe when it launched and the results speak for themselves. We immediately saw material savings in both time and costs which we then passed onto our clients.” Justin Beaudin, Founder & CEO, Adapt
