The challenge

Clear and error-free commu­ni­cation channels are essential in the context of government work, especially on behalf of the Federal Press Office / Bundeskan­zleramt. It is not only the topicality and relevance of the content that plays an important role here, but also the fact that such broad­casts are produced without barriers and errors. TVN produces the private reporting from the Federal Chancellery / Bundeskan­zleramt for the Berlin Pool TV production company.

The challenge was not only to provide such state­ments completely barrier-free with subtitles and sign language inter­preters, but also to provide an additional level of control for the correctness of the trans­mitted state­ments, which offers the highest possible precision.

Solution

TVN SOLUTIONS and TVN PRODUCTION were confronted with this difficult task and wanted to offer their customers a customized solution that would meet all require­ments.

TVN Solutions developed an innov­ative workflow based on the artificial intel­li­gence of the aiconix Deep Live Hub, which performs real-time transcription and inserts the human control layer into the process. The Deep Live Hub makes it possible to subtitle government speeches with a slight delay and with virtually no errors. And the ability to correct and adjust the subtitles edito­rially in real time has reduced the error rate to just 0–2%.

In order to meet the require­ments of the Federal Press Office, TVN relied on a compre­hensive managed service that includes not only the technical staff at the Federal Chancellery for content creation, but also the correction, distri­b­ution and recording of subtitles with trained personnel. This also includes compliance with GDPR guide­lines, the require­ments of the Federal Ministry of the Interior and regular system customization to ensure optimal perfor­mance. The entire production service includes both the control room and camera production at the Federal Chancellery, which is realized by TVN personnel and technology, as well as the remote production in Hanover. Here, the transcription is checked again by an editor and corrected if necessary. The stream is then distributed to the target address and published.

Result

The combi­nation of automated AI technology and human editorial control enabled accurate and reliable subti­tling to be realized in near real time. This solution not only increased the trans­parency and acces­si­bility of government speeches, but also maximized accuracy, which is partic­u­larly important in public and political contexts.

Features:

  • AI support

    The Deep Live Hub enables automatic transcription in real time.

  • Editorial control

    During the live broadcast, the subtitles are corrected in the Deep Live Hub editor to minimise errors.

  • GDPR certi­fi­cation & BMI standard

    The solution fulfils all GDPR and Federal Ministry of the Interior require­ments, ensuring data protection at the highest level.

  • Web distri­b­ution and recording

    The subtitles created are efficiently distributed and recorded by TVN via the web.

Long-term collab­o­ration

The rollout took place in 2021 and has been used success­fully ever since. As a fully managed service, TVN offers continuous system adjust­ments and services to further increase the efficiency of subti­tling. This under­lines the trusting partnership between TVN and the client.
