Tech AI used to create multilingual tutorial videos for foreign workers

Teachme AI can create tutorial videos from raw footage in a short period. It can cut editing times by over 90 per cent, with footage automatically divided into chapters with subtitles and written explanations. The software can produce content in languages such as Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian and Bengali. "The videos are useful for helping (workers) to learn the ropes at their jobs," Satoshi Suzuki, president of Studist, said, underscoring the importance of giving the necessary training to foreign workers. The number of foreign workers in Japan as of the end of October 2023 topped 2 million for the first time, according to government data. Last month, Japan's parliament enacted revised laws to replace a controversy-plagued foreign trainee program with a new system that encourages workers from abroad to stay longer. During a demonstration test of the AI software at a meat shop in Ageo, Saitama Prefecture, north of Tokyo, a 30-minute video demonstrating the how-to's of packing meat with Thai explanations was produced in about 15 minutes.
