The company is committed to solving the key problems of emotional transmission in AI dubbing and providing better localized solutions to the global media industry.
Unlike traditional AI dubbing technology, Dubformer was the first to introduce emotion transfer technology.

This technological breakthrough has brought new possibilities to the video localization industry.
According to market research data, the global video localization market size has reached US$7 billion and continues to expand at an annual compound growth rate of 16%. Dubformer's innovative technology provides media companies with new solutions that significantly reduce localization costs while significantly improving dubbing quality. This technological breakthrough not only changes the industry structure, but also brings a better audio-visual experience to global audiences.
Dubformer's technical strength has been fully verified on the international stage. In the WMT2024 competition in the field of machine translation, Dubformer performed well in the voice translation project, surpassing industry giants such as Google Translate, DeepL and ChatGPT in the comprehensive rankings of multiple languages, fully demonstrating its technological advantages. This achievement not only consolidates Dubformer's leading position in the field of AI dubbing, but also lays a solid foundation for the company's future development.
Since its founding by machine translation expert Anton Dvorkovich in September 2023, Dubformer has maintained an amazing growth rate, achieving a monthly quarter-on-month growth rate of 50% in the past six months. At present, the company has provided services to more than 200 customers in Europe and the United States, including well-known companies such as Paramount. Dubformer's AI dubbing solution supports over 130 languages, providing full technical support for content creators, localization companies and broadcasters. Through emotion transmission technology, Dubformer is redefining the standards for content localization, making AI dubbing more natural and emotionally expressive.
This round of financing will provide strong impetus for the further development of Dubformer. The company plans to use funds to expand its business scale and continuously enhance its AI technology capabilities. In the future, Dubformer will continue to work to enhance the emotional authenticity of dubbing and create a more attractive localized content experience for global audiences. With the continuous advancement of technology, Dubformer is expected to create more innovations in the field of AI dubbing and promote the development of the entire industry to a higher level.
