TEL AVIV, Israel, Feb. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Deepdub, the leading AI-based audiovisual dubbing and language localization company, announced today the release of its first-of-its-kind Accent Control technology.

  • Deepdub's Accent Control technology leverages custom generative AI models to manipulate and control the accents of characters in dubbed content, offering an unprecedented level of authenticity and flexibility.
  • These capabilities were developed into Accent Control, which enables precise control to apply and adapt accents across all 130+ languages and dialects.
  • The technology is accessible through the Deepdub GO platform , a virtual AI dubbing studio designed for post-production editors, where users can intuitively apply and adjust accents using a simple interface.

NACOGDOCHES, Texas, Feb. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In a new lawsuit filed against Stepping Stones Early Learning Center, Nacogdoches mother Lindsay Tompkins claims caregivers neglected her 3-year-old daughter, allowing her to exit the daycare unnoticed, walk over half a mile, and end up in the middle of Highway Loop 224 in May 2023. The complaint states a group of good Samaritans stopped traffic on the high-speed highway and rescued the toddler, who was standing between the two lanes holding a Shrek doll. The daycare allegedly did not realize the child was missing until two workers returning from their lunch break passed the commotion, recognized the toddler, and drove her back to the daycare center.

  • The daycare allegedly did not realize the child was missing until two workers returning from their lunch break passed the commotion, recognized the toddler, and drove her back to the daycare center.
  • Immediately following the incident, Stepping Stones Early Learning Center workers broke Texas daycare laws when they did not notify law enforcement or Tompkins about what happened, according to the suit.
  • However, reports from multiple witnesses, including the good Samaritans who rescued the girl, exposed the daycare center's lie, according to the complaint.
