Davie is named on 1 patent: “Generating Dubbed Audio from a Video-Based Source.” The invention describes a process for producing translated audio from video and its corresponding audio. It generates a preliminary transcript in another language, aligns translated text with the timing of the original audio, and flags translated portions that exceed their available timing windows. After a device receives the original and translated transcripts and an initial speech dub, a user can modify the original transcript. The system then uses that revision to generate a second speech dub in the target language.
