Warner Bros. Discovery and Google have created a new caption generation tool, known internally as "caption AI." The tech was built on Google's Vertex AI development platform for generative AI products.

The new AI-powered captioning solution can reduce time spent captioning by 80% and cost by 50%, but it would still require human oversight at first.

Warner Bros. Discovery and Google Cloud have announced the deployment of a new, AI-powered captioning solution in the United States that utilises Google Cloud’s Vertex AI platform.

Google (GOOGL) and Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) announced Tuesday they are partnering to introduce artificial intelligence-generated closed captioning.

Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) is partnering with Google Cloud to generate closed captioning for content on the studio’s Max streaming service in the US. WBD will use a new “caption AI” solution that runs on Google Cloud’s Vertex AI platform to generate speech-to-text for some shows, starting with “unscripted programming.”

The partnership, which will initially be applied to the studio's unscripted programming, is designed to significantly reduce production time and costs The post Warner Bros. Discovery Teams With Google Cloud for AI-Powered Captioning appeared first on TheWrap.

Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) has agreed a deal with Google Cloud to use the latter's Vertex AI to generate captions for programming across a variety of platforms. WBD claims that its Caption AI system can significantly reduce production time and costs while improving the accuracy of captions for US-based viewers.

Warner Bros. Discovery has partnered with Google Cloud to use an artificial intelligence-powered tool to create captions for its content platforms. Caption AI uses Google Cloud’s Vertex AI platform and will be deployed first to unscripted programming to cut time and production costs around creating captions presumably sports and reality TV content.
