Papercup was founded in 2017 with a mission to make all the world’s videos watchable in any language. Using state-of-the-art machine learning, Papercup has created an AI system capable of translating people’s voices into other languages. The delivery is indistinguishable from human speech and can also retain characteristics of the speaker's voice.
Papercup helps global content owners unlock revenue by localizing videos faster and more affordably than traditional methods. Our native-speaking translators ensure perfect translation accuracy and emotional dubbing. We stand out by creating proprietary voices with voice actors, powered by our own speech engines and trained on licensed data.
The London-based startup has raised over $33.2 million in funding to date, with backers including leading venture funds Octopus Ventures, LocalGlobe, Sands Capital Ventures, Guardian Media Group Ventures, Entrepreneur First and BDMI as well as media leader Sky (now owned by Comcast).
