A IBM Case Study
MediaWen International, a B2B SaaS provider of cognitive online video solutions (closed captioning, multilingual subtitling and automatic dubbing), needed a global, high‑performance cloud and cognitive computing partner to launch linguistic services worldwide. The company selected IBM—using SoftLayer bare metal hosting, the IBM Bluemix development platform and IBM Watson language APIs—to meet those requirements.
IBM implemented SoftLayer infrastructure, Bluemix and Watson language APIs to deliver speech‑to‑text, machine translation, text‑to‑speech and natural language processing capabilities. The result is a scalable, security‑rich offering that provides cognitive subtitling, translation and automatic dubbing for customers in media & entertainment, e‑learning, finance, government and healthcare, improves accessibility for illiterate, hearing‑ and visually‑impaired users, and supports MediaWen’s expansion across Asia, Europe, and North and South America.
