Veritone, Inc. launched Veritone Voice Network, a multilingual custom AI voice solution and podcast monetization service that combines synthetic voice creation and AI translation services to localize podcasts and grow ad revenues and audiences. The new technology service offering supports the goals of podcast networks to expand into foreign language and international markets in an authentic way, while seamlessly empowering podcast hosts to maintain their established voice identity. Leveraging Veritone's proprietary aiWARE platform and the award-winning technology of Veritone Voice, the service enables podcast hosts to create a custom and enterprise-grade synthetic voice model.

Veritone Voice Network transcribes and translates podcast episodes into the desired language output and then applies the host's multilingual synthetic voice model to deliver a ready-to-air translation of the original episode. By using this service, podcast hosts can generate podcasts that stay true to their sound while reaching new audiences. Language barriers have historically posed one of the biggest challenges to expansion opportunities for podcast networks.

Veritone Voice Network aims to overcome these barriers and unlock opportunities to reach new audiences and connect with them in the original voice and personality of the host. Studies have shown a desire among non-English speaking audiences for increased access to content originally produced in English. By localizing podcast languages in their customized voice, hosts have the opportunity to reach a much wider array of diverse audiences.
