XL8 Inc

Founded by ex-Google and ex-Apple, XL8 is a Silicon Valley tech startup, specializing in Machine Translation for Media & Entertainment where it outperforms all other translation vendors in M&E.

Currently in use with several industry leading language service providers (LSPs). Also, in process of integrating with major Studios such as NBCU, Lionsgate, Warner Brothers and Paramount.

Real-Time Speech Translation (RTST) is an undeveloped market with huge potential.

XL8’s technology overcomes limitations with existing Machine Translation (MT) quality, allowing multiple industries, such as sports, e-sports, live events, and travel to vastly expand their markets.

It further decreases the need for costly human capital, while greatly increasing the quality of the finished product, compared conventional approaches with resource-constrained and error-prone human interpreters.

XL8 is tackling the problem using unique AI technology built specifically for media & entertainment. Through an investor partnership with the world’s largest media localization company, Iyuno-SDI, XL8 is able to train its AI “brain” by re-ingesting their perfected data back into its engine.

Additionally, XL8 has developed state-of-the-art technology for simultaneous speech translation. Based on proprietary technologies, including personalized MT and RT Speech-to-Text Translation, XL8’s engines achieve less than 5 seconds of delay while maintaining over 90% translation accuracy.

Most tech giants, e.g., Google, Amazon, and MS.
A few MT vendors, e.g., RWS, Omnicien Technology, and DeepL.

None of other MT providers are specialized in Media & Entertainment. Because our engines are exclusively trained on media content, e.g. subtitles and conversations, the quality of our MT engines within this domain is incomparably higher than any others.

A combination of B2B (primary), B2C (secondary), and B2B2C (future), utilizing SaaS based pricing structures.
