LEXI Voice by AI-Media Launches at NAB 2025: Real-Time AI Voice Translation Goes Global
Las Vegas, NV — April 14, 2025 — AI-Media, a global leader in captioning and translation technologies, introduced LEXI Voice, a real-time AI-powered voice translation solution, at the NAB Show 2025.
This innovation is poised to reshape how broadcasters and content creators engage multilingual audiences by offering a scalable and affordable alternative to human interpreters.
What Is LEXI Voice?
LEXI Voice is the latest advancement from AI-Media’s suite of accessibility and automation tools. It uses automated speech recognition (ASR) and synthetic voice generation to translate live spoken content into multiple languages in real time.
This solution builds upon the established LEXI Captioning Engine, which powers accurate automated captions across numerous broadcast and digital platforms.
By adding the voice layer, LEXI Voice allows broadcasters to serve multilingual audiences without the high costs or delays of traditional live translation.
“LEXI Voice redefines how broadcasters and content creators engage global audiences in real time.”
— James Ward, Chief Sales Officer at AI-Media
Multilingual Reach with Scalable Technology
LEXI Voice supports translation into over 100 languages. Broadcasters can provide up to five alternate-language voice tracks per channel, dramatically increasing accessibility and audience engagement.
Each voice track can be configured for:
-
Regional accents
-
Gender preferences
-
Tone customization
This level of personalization helps match the linguistic and cultural expectations of diverse audiences. It also allows content creators to maintain consistent branding, with tools to preserve key terminology and proper names across translations.
Cost and Accessibility: A Game-Changer
One of the most disruptive aspects of LEXI Voice is its price point:
-
$30 per hour, in addition to the standard LEXI captioning fees.
Compared to human interpreters—who often cost several hundred dollars per hour—LEXI Voice can reduce translation costs by up to 90%, according to AI-Media. This democratizes multilingual broadcasting, making it accessible even to small and mid-tier content creators or event organizers.
Seamless Integration with Broadcast Workflows
LEXI Voice was engineered to plug directly into existing workflows, minimizing disruption for broadcasters. It is fully compatible with:
-
SDI (Serial Digital Interface) and IP-based environments
-
AI-Media’s Alta (software encoder for IP video workflows)
-
Encoder Pro (hardware-based captioning solution)
These integrations ensure that even complex live production setups can adopt the technology without requiring infrastructure overhauls.
Why the NAB Show 2025 Matters
LEXI Voice’s debut at NAB Show 2025, which drew over 55,000 attendees from 160 countries, signifies AI-Media’s commitment to driving accessibility and AI innovation in global broadcasting.
The NAB Show is a key venue for unveiling transformative media technologies, making it a strategic launchpad for tools aimed at wide industry adoption.
Broader Implications and Use Cases
LEXI Voice offers benefits not just for traditional broadcasters but also for:
-
Live event producers
-
Government and civic communications
-
Corporate webinars and product launches
-
Educational institutions and online learning platforms
As live streaming and remote content consumption continue to surge globally, tools like LEXI Voice enable inclusive engagement without the resource burden of hiring live interpreters or multilingual voiceover artists.
