AnAI Selected for Ministry of SMEs and Startups’ ‘Deep-Tech TIPS’ Program

Selected as a "Super Gap" Outstanding Startup
Up to 1.7 Billion KRW in R&D Funding

AnAI, an AI-based media dubbing solution company, announced on the 2nd that it has been finalized for the Deep-Tech TIPS program, hosted by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups.

Deep-Tech TIPS is a government initiative that selects startups possessing innovative technologies in 10 "Super Gap" sectors, providing up to 1.7 billion KRW in R&D funding and follow-up support. This selection recognizes both the technological prowess and business viability of the proprietary AI dubbing and localization technology developed by AnAI.

For this Deep-Tech TIPS project, AnAI proposed and was selected for its "Metacognitive Analysis Dubbing System based on Vocal Emotion and Sentence Context (DynEX-Engine)." The DynEX-Engine aims to implement an automated production process while maintaining high dubbing quality by precisely analyzing and reflecting character emotions and dialogue context. This system is expected to significantly reduce the labor dependency and cost burden of traditional dubbing, effectively meeting the global media industry's demand for high-speed, large-scale localization.

With this selection, AnAI plans to focus on: commercializing the DynEX-Engine and strengthening R&D capabilities, advancing AI speech and video synthesis, expanding collaborations with overseas media companies, and strengthening partnerships with FAST channels and global OTT platforms.

"The selection for Deep-Tech TIPS is official recognition of AnAI's technological strength and global growth potential," said Kim Young, CEO of AnAI. "We believe true localization is achieved the moment a dubbed voice still feels like the original person’s voice. Beyond just AI dubbing, we will leap forward as a leader in the global media localization market."

Meanwhile, AnAI continues to collaborate with major domestic and international broadcasters, OTT platforms, and global content companies. It plans to accelerate its global expansion based on core technologies such as AI-based Speech Synthesis (DS-TTS), Speech Recognition (DS-STT), and Affective Emotion Recognition (AER).
