Simon Says to provide its AI transcription tools for Resolve
Simon Says, an AI-based transcription, captioning, and translation platform for video professionals, has announced its seamless integration with Blackmagic’s DaVinci Resolve for macOS.
Users can now find meaningful dialogue, in any language, and receive the frame-accurate video transcript as ranged markers, color coded by speaker, then caption timelines and even align translated subtitles once the edit is complete - all with a few clicks from DaVinci Resolve.
“Today, Simon Says became the first company to support AI transcription in Resolve,” states Shamir Allibhai, founder and CEO of Simon Says. “DaVinci Resolve is one of the most exciting non-linear editors on the scene today. Blackmagic Design has a growing, passionate user base, in part because of its unique strategy to sell great cameras with tightly coupled software add-ons and also because it offers a high-end video editing application for free. These users have been asking us to integrate our software with DaVinci Resolve, and we’re so happy to deliver it.”
Now, video editors will be able to transcribe rushes, dailies, and raw footage from DaVinci Resolve, then receive and attach markers to clips, greatly accelerating the editing process by enabling editors to quickly make sense of their recordings and identify compelling soundbites.
At the end of an edit, users can instantly subtitle and caption their content - a critical legal requirement for distribution in the US for most TV broadcast channels, as well as OTT streaming channels such as Netflix.
With Simon Says, editors can transcribe their raw footage in minutes. Simply select the clips to import and transcribe. Add speaker labels, bookmark and make any edits in the nifty video-transcript editor.
In addition to transcribing video, Simon Says can easily and quickly caption video edits and translate subtitles into 100 languages.
To get started, users can download the Simon Says app for macOS and install the Resolve scripts to communicate between Resolve and the Simon Says AI cloud.
