The goal of both services is to enhance efficiency and quality in content production through natural voice synthesis and multilingual translation capabilities. They are designed to help both production companies and general users easily create high-quality multilingual content.
Barco Voice offers features such as voice collection, voice generation, text-to-speech (TTS), and voice conversion (VC). It provides a collection of over 250 multilingual voices, and the voice generation feature allows users to create a new voice for themselves or any desired person using only a short audio sample.
The generated voices can be converted into English, Japanese, and Taiwanese while maintaining the original tone. The TTS feature automatically distinguishes between sentences and paragraphs in the text to generate lifelike speech, and the voice conversion feature enables existing voices to be transformed into different timbres.
Barco Translation supports features such as media dubbing, text translation, document translation, image translation, and a glossary. The AI can automatically separate voice and background sound in videos and translate them into 10 languages or dub them into 4 languages.
Documents in various formats, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, can be translated into the desired language while maintaining the original format. Text within images can also be automatically extracted, translated, and then reapplied to the image. The glossary feature ensures consistent terminology usage.
Both services are provided as Software as a Service (SaaS), and an integrated subscription plan allows users to access both services under a single subscription. The Starter Plan offers 3,000 credits, equivalent to 11 minutes of dubbing, for 6,600 KRW per month, while the Creator Plan provides 17,500 credits, equivalent to 70 minutes of dubbing, for 38,500 KRW per month. In the future, NC AI plans to hold promotional events and expand subscription options according to content production environments and industry-specific demand.
NC AI is considering expanding its services by introducing these newly launched offerings into actual production environments to enhance usability and provide official translation and voice support functions for manufacturing and commerce sectors.
Lee Yeonsu, CEO of NC AI, said, "With the launch of these services, NC AI's Barco Solution is evolving into a multi-modal creative platform that connects text, voice, images, and 3D. Rather than being a simple AI service, we aim to create an integrated AI creative environment that encompasses the entire content production process, supporting efficient and creative global content creation."
