Crunchyroll Tests A.I. for Better Subtitling

February 28, 2024 Manoj News 0

Crunchyroll’s president, Rahul Purini, revealed in an interview with The Verge’s Decoder podcast that they’re experimenting with using artificial intelligence (A.I.) to improve subtitling and closed captioning.

The goal is to speed up the process of releasing subtitles in multiple languages closer to the original Japanese anime release dates.

They’re also trying out A.I. to help users personalize their experience and discover new titles, along with using it for various workflows within the company.

Crunchyroll Confirms Testing A․I. for Subtitling:

Crunchyroll faced criticism for poor-quality subtitles on the first episode of The Yuzuki Family’s Four Sons anime in October 2023.

They removed the episode temporarily due to complaints but later reuploaded it with updated subtitles, collaborating with the series licensor for the improvements.
