Case Study: SailGP boosts fan engagement and race compliance with Acronis

SailGP tracks 58.9k speech phrases per race with Acronis

SailGP, an international sailing sports league, faced the challenge of increasing global fan engagement and ensuring race compliance. They needed to transcribe and translate athlete conversations in real-time for broadcasts and monitor for forbidden or safety-related "hot words." SailGP partnered with Acronis and Rolos to develop a bespoke machine intelligence voice recognition system using Acronis's expertise in real-time data processing.

The solution implemented by Acronis and Rolos was a cloud-based, multitier application featuring real-time speech-to-text transformation, multi-language support, and an intuitive UI for race management. This provided SailGP with the ability to add live subtitles to broadcasts, detect hot words for safety and censorship, and perform deep data analytics on historical races. The project successfully increased fan engagement by offering unique insight into the race and provided tools for improving team performance and safety.
