How quickly can a newsroom turn an interview into text?

A 40-minute Dhivehi interview runs as a background job and comes back as labelled, searchable text, instead of taking most of a morning to type. You usually need four quotes from it, and now you can find them.

Can we tell whether a clip somebody sent us is synthetic?

For audio made with Thaana AI, yes: every clip carries an inaudible watermark and our public checker reports whether a recording has it. A clean result only rules out our text to speech, not synthesis in general, which is worth saying plainly in a newsroom context.

Can we put this inside our own CMS?

Yes. Corporate and government packages include API access for translation, OCR, transcription, text to speech, and dictation, with webhooks for long-running jobs and a scoped token per account.

Media & publishing

Everything a newsroom does is against a clock.

An interview is only useful once it is text. A wire story is only useful once it is in Dhivehi. Both of those are usually the slowest part of the day, and both happen while the deadline moves closer.

The three slow steps

None of them are journalism. All of them sit between the reporting and the publishing.

01
Transcribing the interview
A 40-minute Dhivehi interview takes most of a morning to type, and you only need four quotes from it.
02
Translating the wire
International copy has to become Dhivehi that reads like your newsroom wrote it, not like a machine passed through it.
03
Producing audio
A bulletin read, a web story with an audio version, a social clip. All of it needs a voice and a booking.

What it does

Interviews as text, fast

Dhivehi transcription with speaker labels, so quotes are attributable and searchable.

Wires into publishable Dhivehi

Translation that keeps names, titles, and numbers intact, then a draft pass for house style.

Audio without a studio hour

Named Dhivehi news-reading voices for bulletins, web audio, and social.

Headlines, standfirsts, summaries

Several options in Dhivehi from the same copy, so the desk is choosing rather than writing.

What changes

The slow steps stop setting the publishing time.

A 40-minute interview is searchable text before the next call
Wire copy in Dhivehi, on house style, inside the same cycle
An audio version of a story without booking the studio
Archive material findable, because the old PDFs are text now

Provenance

Synthetic audio you can prove is synthetic.

Every clip from Thaana AI text to speech carries an inaudible watermark, and anyone can check a recording against it without an account. For a newsroom, that matters in both directions: labelling your own audio honestly, and checking a clip somebody sent you.
