The problem it solves

You need the same recording available in several languages, but coordinating translators and checking their work eats up your week. Mistakes slip through when nobody has time to review every version, and tracking which files are done and where they live gets messy fast.

Who it fits

Podcast producers, course creators, or teams distributing audio content to international audiences.

How it works

  1. A new audio file arrives and is split into each target language
  2. The audio is translated into each language automatically
  3. OpenAI checks each translation for quality and flags any failures
  4. Approved files are uploaded to Google Drive with clear names and logged in a summary spreadsheet
  5. You receive an email with the finished files and a status report
What you get

Translated audio files ready for release

Your audio gets translated into five languages, quality-checked, and delivered to your inbox ready for release.

What you get

A set of translated audio files organized in Google Drive, plus a summary spreadsheet and an email notification.

What you need

A Google Workspace account, an OpenAI API key, and access to an audio translation service.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
