AI-Media to Showcase Real-Time Translation and Accessibility Workflows at ISE 2026 as Multilingual AV Demand Accelerates

BARCELONA, Spain, Jan 30 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AI-Media, a global leader in AI-powered subtitling and language solutions, will be at ISE 2026 to demonstrate how real-time translation, captioning, and audio description are becoming essential capabilities across professional AV environments – from live events and corporate communications to venues and public installations.

As audiences become increasingly multilingual and expectations for inclusive communication continue to rise, AV teams are being challenged to deliver experiences that are accessible, understandable, and consistent across both in-room and remote viewing. At ISE 2026, AI-Media will share how its broadcast-grade AI technology is being applied to integrated AV workflows, enabling scalable, real-time language and accessibility support with low latency.

At Booth 4L700, AI-Media will showcase LEXI Voice, an AI-driven solution delivering real-time voice translation into any language with natural-sounding output and minimal delay. Designed for live and broadcast environments, LEXI Voice supports event producers, content owners, and AV integrators looking to deliver multilingual communication without adding complexity to production workflows.

Alongside LEXI Voice, AI-Media will also demonstrate LEXI Text, its real-time AI subtitling solution, and LEXI AD, which provides automated audio description to support inclusive viewing experiences. Together, the LEXI suite helps organisations deliver multilingual and accessible experiences across professional AV and broadcast environments – supporting a broader industry shift toward inclusive communication as a standard expectation, not an add-on.

“Professional AV is moving quickly toward the same expectations broadcasters have operated under for years – reliability, low latency, and experiences that work across languages and accessibility needs,” said Mark Lovatt, VP Strategic Accounts and VP Sales – EMEA at AI-Media. “At ISE, we’re demonstrating how real-time voice translation, subtitling, and audio description can be delivered as part of the live workflow, helping organisations design more inclusive experiences from the start.”

All LEXI solutions integrate seamlessly with SDI and IP infrastructures, supporting deployments across conferences, corporate communications, live events, sports venues, houses of worship, and public installations.

AI-Media looks forward to engaging with industry professionals throughout ISE 2026 in Barcelona to discuss how language and accessibility technology can be applied across live, broadcast, and integrated AV environments.

Hong Kong and New Zealand, the easiest jurisdictions for doing business in APAC, says GBCI 2025

LONDON, June 4 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Global Business Complexity Index (GBCI), recently launched by TMF Group, analyses the business environment of 79 jurisdictions, accounting for 94% of the world’s GDP. It also ranks them based on over 250 indicators of business complexity, with the jurisdiction ranked 1st as the most complex and the jurisdiction ranked 79th, the least.

Among the world’s 10 least complex jurisdictions for doing business, Hong Kong, SAR remains the 4rth easiest jurisdiction for the second year in a row. The jurisdiction offers a favourable business environment, characterised by a straightforward and low tax regime that appeals to international businesses.

New Zealand, also included in the 10 easiest jurisdictions worldwide, maintains its reputation as a straightforward place for business operations. This is largely due to the government’s proactive approach in welcoming foreign investments and streamlined administrative processes.

Meanwhile, business complexity in India (18th) is mainly driven by recent regulatory changes, according to this year’s GBCI report. Over the past year, India has introduced numerous regulatory amendments aimed at boosting transparency and accountability. Although these are expected to bring benefits in the long term, they have added layers of complexity for businesses operating in the country, requiring constant adaptation to new compliance needs.

Japan is ranked 43rd in this year’s GBCI, showing a decrease in complexity from last year’s position (38th). This decrease in complexity is partly due to recent simplifications and governmental initiatives to provide English-language support to international financial service companies. These measures facilitate easier operations and reduce barriers for foreign businesses, improving investment attractiveness.

Singapore, ranking 48th, continues to demonstrate resilience and adaptability in its trade corridors. This jurisdiction invests heavily in technology and infrastructure upgrades, reinforcing its status as a regional hub.

China’s Mainland (10th) enters the top 10 most complex jurisdictions for businesses in 2025. According to the report, the complexity is driven by its frequent regulatory changes and regional disparities. Despite these challenges, the government continues to offer incentives to attract investment and to promote infrastructure development to enhance trade logistics.

TMF Group’s Head of APAC, Shagun Kumar, commented: “We’re seeing a growing effort by decision-makers and businesses across APAC to reduce unnecessary burdens for doing business in the region — these have in the past delayed development, leading to complex evaluations for investment. Such efforts contribute to unlocking the region’s drive towards economic growth, and we expect businesses to adapt and continue to leverage the potential of APAC as a key contributor for their global strategies.”
