About
Papercup is an AI dubbing startup founded in 2017 that uses machine learning and synthetic voice technology to localize video content into multiple languages at scale, preserving the original speaker's tone and emotion. 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.
