The European broadcasting union announced this month that the cloned voice of the commentator Hannah England will be used to provide commentary for the European Athletics Championships.
#IBM VOICE TO TEXT FULL#
IBM said the move was a step towards generating AI commentary on full matches.
That commentary can also be handed on to a second text-to-speech AI to turn it into audio commentary in near-real-time. It will then be fed into IBM’s platform, where it will be processed by the company’s AI models before ultimately being fed to a chatbot-style system that produces natural language commentary, specifically fine-tuned in the language of tennis and Wimbledon. “This new insight will help tennis fans to uncover anomalies and potential surprises in the singles draw, which would not be apparent by looking only at the players’ ranking,” said IBM.ĭata, such as tracking data for the ball, tracking data for the players and the type of shots the players make from different parts of the court, is collected from a variety of sources around the court. The coverage will also include AI-powered analysis of singles draws, examining how favourable a player’s path to the final might be. The club already uses IBM’s AI technology to provide features such as its player power index, which analyses player performance. It will use IBM’s watsonx AI platform, which has been trained in the “unique language of tennis” with the help of the All England Club. The service will be available on the Wimbledon app and website and will be separate to the BBC’s coverage for the 3 July-16 July tournament.
