Hanamkonda: A team of engineering students of SR University here have developed a multilingual multimedia platform that auto-dubs and subtitles videos into multiple languages, keeping original voices with cost efficiency as well as global scalability.

Titled ‘Vividha Hub’, the artificial intelligence (AI) powered open source platform has been developed by the second year CSE (AIML) students, Ch Pushkar, Ch Shivasai, M Siddhartha and K Adithya under mentorship of faculty Dr. Promod Kumar.

The platform showcased at the Yantra-25 Project Expo at SR University received praise from the jury for its relevance, ingenuity and real-world application. Compared to traditional dubbing and subtitling services, the platform drastically reduces operational costs by 90 percent, claim the students.

Speaking to Telangana Today the team member Siddhartha informed that Vividha Hub could revolutionise global content communication by offering automated video translation and voice cloning while preserving the speaker’s authentic voice tone. It stands at the intersection of artificial intelligence, natural language processing and media technology.

Automated transcription, voice cloning and synchronisation significantly speed up content delivery in minutes. It maintains original background audio, preserving video aesthetics and viewer engagement. It supports a wide variety of audio-video formats.

The process is simple yet technologically robust- upload a video, transcription is generated automatically. Advanced voice cloning applies the selected language with original voice characteristics in translated versions. The platform could be a replacement to dubbing artists, he explained.

The platform is zero proprietary analytics or data harvesting, which means no trackers used. Open design allows global contributors to improve security. Currently the team is working on some bugs and to address compatibility issues, Siddhartha explained.

The project is not just a prototype but a market-ready solution. The team is looking to collaborate with educational institutions, NGOs and content platforms to pilot the solution across multiple languages and regions, he noted.

SR University Vice Chancellor, Dr. Deepak Garg noted that projects like Vividha Hub exemplify the future of content globalisation, highlighting the importance of AI in democratising knowledge and bridging cultural divides.
