Quality-checking localized media at scale

Problem

Human QA cannot watch every dubbed/subtitled minute before release windows.

Current workflow

Linguists sample episodes; errors slip into long-tail titles.

Consequences

Viewer complaints and brand damage in local markets.

How AI might help

ASR alignment and terminology checkers can flag likely errors for linguist review.

Limits & risks

Creative intentional deviations; dialectal speech.

Over-flagging stylistic choices; leaking unreleased content to vendors.

Alternatives today

Larger QA teams and stricter sampling.

Cost scales linearly with hours of content.
