The Challenge

While the data has shown that business growth with podcast advertising is rooted in English, podcasting has grown even more diverse in the last year. The Latinx segment is one of the fastest-growing groups, making an argument for content in Spanish to reach this expanding audience. With English currently holding the number one spot for the most spoken language globally, it only accounts for 16.5% of the population. However, with Spanish currently spoken by 543 million people, accounting for 7% of the world’s population, Sounds Profitable now can reach over 20% of the world’s audiences. However, here’s the problem. When you translate audio content, you always have to forfeit the voice talent that everyone has recognized as part of the brand. Either way, whether you use translation software or hire a fluent speaker, you have to accept this fact— at least before synthetic voice technology.

The Solution

Using Veritone Voice, and leveraging the expertise of our managed service team, Bryan was able to build a voice model that can speak Spanish in his voice—his voice clone. After running the content through a translation engine, bi-lingual experts can review the transcript to confirm everything looks correct. This guarantees that word choice accurately represents the original concepts from English to Spanish. This approach is excellent for those that want to validate the potential audience outside of their native language. Once that audience has proven interest, teams can then seriously look at localizing their content.

Cycle interactions (cycle next and cycle previous) allow users to cycle through a folder or group of objects at the click of a button. When a user clicks to activate this interaction, Ceros will automatically show the next object (or group or folder) in your targeted folder while also turning off the visibility for all of the other assets in that folder. Alternatively, you can use the cycle previous interaction to show the previous object in the folder.

To source new SVGs, locate the Media Library in the top toolbar, select "Icons," and search key terms. To change the color, select the .svg file (try searching .svg in the layers panel), scroll down in the design panel, and select the color swatch.

In this experience, there are two tabs with only one visible at a time. In the studio, after making your edits in each tab, make sure to turn the visibility of "tab: the challenge" ON and "tab: the solution" OFF.

The video background is pinned which means it is fixed to a specific point in the viewport. Pinning an object allows you to keep the objects always visible on the canvas, regardless of where the user scrolls on the canvas. Note: Pinned objects do not currently work on full-height embedded experiences; only standalone experience and scrolling embedded experiences. To unpin select the "pinned video background" group. Next to the X,Y coordinates click the pin icon. To replace the video, select the video on the canvas or in the layers panel and click the "Replace Video" button, which is next to the video thumbnail in the design panel. Any video settings on the original video will carry over to the new one.

CASE STUDY:

While English holds the number one spot for speakers globally, they needed to find a way to take their written content, Bryan’s voice for the audio narration, and translate it into other languages. In this case, Bryan Barletta’s team wanted to reach the Latinx segment. The trick was how to do this without losing Bryan’s voice.
