kPoint has announced the release of two new features to its video platform – voiceover and spoken word search, ahead of the World of Learning Conference. The much awaited features will help organizations address the challenge of reusing and updating legacy content by converting them to videos with voiceover.

kPoint technologies today announced the release of its much anticipated voiceover feature.

kPoint’s voiceover feature addresses the age old problem of converting legacy content to video and giving them a new voice. Called kPoint Voiceover, the feature helps convert written script to speech effortlessly, while providing the most human quality of voice possible. The feature enables voiceovers in multiple European and Asian languages apart from English.

Additionally, kPoint also released its spoken word feature. kPoint’s spoken word search captures and indexes every word spoken by a speaker in recordings, including proper nouns and acronyms. An automatic speech recognition engine then finds out frequently referred words within a video and brings them to focus by adding tags and highlights.

Following the release, Shridhar Shukla, Managing Director of kPoint, said: “The demand for innovative and easy-to-use program that can help add new voice to presentations or capture and index the spoken word has always been driving us to deliver on these mandates. kPoint’s voiceover and spoken word search features are not only an answer to these long standing demands, but also a celebration of linguistic diversity.”

kPoint was launched in 2011 as a company focused on enabling and enhancing the use of video in business. An enterprise video platform that enables organizations to easily create videos, share videos securely and facilitate viewing of videos by intended audiences, kPoint has continually helped organizations move from traditional to virtual, and from virtual to social learning by the adoption of video.

kPoint is at Stand C- 70 at World of Learning at the NEC Birmingham, UK, September 29-30.
