ANECDOTE

ElevenLabs and Multilingual Podcast Production

  • ElevenLabs' text-to-speech technology was used to create voiceovers of President Zelenskyy's words in Ukrainian and Russian.
  • The translation process involved AI and a large human element.
  • Six language mappings were needed: English to Ukrainian and Russian, Ukrainian to English and Russian, and Russian to English and Ukrainian.
  • The process was complex due to constant switching between three languages, sometimes word by word.
  • Finding specialized translators for each language pair was crucial.
  • Time constraints were a significant challenge, with only hours available for the entire translation process.
