About

The company serves media companies, broadcasters, streamers, and enterprise video producers who need to expand content reach across global markets. Papercup's proprietary cross-lingual prosody transfer (XLPT) technology differentiates it by faithfully reproducing speaker pace and emotional nuance across target languages. In 2025, Papercup's IP was acquired by RWS and its team joined Scale AI.
