Language is a powerful tool that can either connect or divide us. In the realm of education, language barriers have long posed significant challenges for learners worldwide. However, recent advancements in technology are paving the way for a more inclusive learning environment. In 2023, we took a significant leap forward by introducing AI-powered text translations, allowing nearly 3 million learners to access over 5,000 courses in 25 different languages.
We are thrilled to announce the introduction of AI-dubbed courses in Spanish, French, German, and Brazilian Portuguese. Utilizing cutting-edge Generative AI technology, we have successfully translated and dubbed video content for more than 100 popular courses from esteemed educational institutions. This innovative approach not only captures the original speaker’s voice and speech patterns but also synchronizes lip movements, creating a seamless and natural viewing experience. Learners can now engage with course materials in their native languages, enhancing their overall learning experience and outcomes.
Initially, our AI-dubbed courses are available in four widely spoken languages, catering to nearly 800 million native speakers across various countries. This initiative is a significant step towards making quality education accessible to a broader audience.
- Spanish: With over 450 million native speakers in Latin America and 40 million in Spain, our Spanish-translated courses have already garnered more than 1 million enrollments, making it the most popular translated language on our platform.
- French: France boasts around 64 million native French speakers, and our French-translated courses have attracted nearly 450,000 enrollments, ranking as the second most popular translated language.
- Brazilian Portuguese: Spoken by over 200 million individuals in Brazil, Brazilian Portuguese is our third most popular translated language, with more than 370,000 enrollments to date.
- German: With approximately 80 million native speakers in Germany, our German-translated courses have already reached over 125,000 enrollments.
Research consistently indicates that learning in one’s native language leads to significantly improved outcomes. Learners engaging with translated courses complete them at higher rates and nearly 25% faster than those studying in the original language. Despite this, a staggering 40% of the global population still lacks access to education in their first language. Our AI-dubbed content addresses this pressing issue by offering over 100 career-oriented courses in high-demand fields such as AI, Data Science, and Cybersecurity, empowering learners to earn industry-recognized credentials in their preferred languages.
Industry leaders have recognized the importance of this initiative. A representative from a major technology firm stated, “Expanding the reach and accessibility of our courses is crucial. By leveraging AI to dub our content, we are enabling more learners to access our courses in their preferred languages, significantly enhancing their learning experience. Innovations like these are transforming the landscape of online education globally.”
Another executive from a leading automotive company emphasized, “Preparing our workforce for the future is essential. AI-dubbed courses allow us to provide vital training directly to our employees, ensuring they have easy access to high-quality, job-relevant content. This initiative supports our ongoing digital learning efforts and fosters global collaboration, positioning our teams to drive innovation across the organization.”
A learning and development manager from a prominent company remarked, “Learning in one’s native language significantly enhances comprehension and engagement. Initiatives like AI-dubbing enable us to broaden the reach of our training programs, resulting in higher course adoption and completion rates. This empowers our employees to develop their potential and confidently apply new knowledge in their daily tasks.”
We firmly believe that language should never hinder access to opportunities. Through AI-dubbing, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of innovation, ensuring that anyone, anywhere, can access world-class education and unlock their full potential.
