Veritone, Inc. has announced that The Playbook podcast featuring David Meltzer will use Veritone Voice to offer its content in Spanish to serve the Latinx market. Already offering this content in English, Meltzer plans to expand his audience reach to Spanish audiences, acting as a key use case in how AI-enabled voice can help promote cultural and language barriers and enable unique voices to reach global audiences. Driven by the mission to empower over 1 billion people to be happy, Meltzer and team understand that they must expand beyond the English-speaking market.

Previously, they were using translators and voice actors as a means to translate the content. However, this approach creates numerous production challenges such as managing multiple schedules, costs and a reduction in authenticity. With Veritone Voice, the team can more efficiently and effectively deliver Meltzer's content in his own distinctive voice in Spanish, maintaining the essence of his personality and thought process in another language.

Built using Veritone's foundational Enterprise AI technology and combining it with the company's many years of expertise in content licensing, Veritone Voice is a hyper-realistic synthetic Voice as a Service (VaaS) solution that's part of the new Veriverse portfolio of offerings. The solution allows celebrities, athletes, influencers, broadcasters, podcasters and other prominent figures across industries to securely and ethically create, distribute and monetize synthetic voices. Winner of the 2021 NAB Product of the Year Award, Veritone Voice offers both stock and custom voices, serving customers of all sizes as a true end-to-end synthetic voice solution that's empowering new ways of communication across global audiences.
