What the talk is about

Most of the internet is in English, and content made in smaller languages struggles to travel. Anna Bohoněk works at Fameplay, a studio that makes AI avatars and synthetic voices. A semester in Costa Rica showed her how much language shapes what people are able to imagine. In this talk she connects that experience with the practice of producing multilingual content with AI.

You'll learn how Zdeněk Haník, a 72-year-old volleyball coach, teaches thousands of people in Spanish, English and German through an avatar with a cloned voice, even though he barely speaks those languages. Anna explains why avatar and voice generation still needs people, who proof listeners are, and how to prepare text for text-to-speech so that the voice reads numbers and abbreviations correctly.
