Straker Japan Opens 15-Session AI Dubbing Webinar Series
The pitch is not translation but preservation: the product promise is that a speaker's own voice and expressions carry into another language, which is the claim corporate multilingual video has been judged against until now.

Straker Japan is running 15 online sessions from September 16 to October 27, 2026, built around its AI Dubbing tool, which reproduces a speaker's voice, mouth movements, and facial expressions in another language. Tadanobu Inoue of IBM Japan's AI Lab Office joins to discuss generative AI and corporate communication. The sessions are free with advance registration and are aimed at corporate operations staff.
Sessions run Tuesdays and Thursdays from 15:00 to 16:00 and Wednesdays from 11:00 to 12:00, all on Zoom, through October 27. Participants get demo footage of the tool and a free sample video produced with AI Dubbing. Tadanobu Inoue of IBM Japan's AI Lab Office covers three themes: the current state of generative AI, communication shifting from conveying information to experience, and corporate AI use in which specialized AIs connect. Straker says applications from competing companies may be declined.
