150-year-old Berlitz has long been established as the world’s premier provider of language training and cross-cultural services.

With expansive learning modules in almost every spoken language, Berlitz needed to digitize their instructor-led methodology. Text-based lessons were not a viable alternative, as they are not nearly as engaging or effective as face-to-face audio and video presentations. However, the traditional method of filming their instructors using standard video production proved time and cost-prohibitive, especially at high volumes.

To address this challenge, Berlitz turned to Hour One’s AI-driven process for creating 8 proprietary virtual human instructors for their video classes.

Using Hour One’s unique methodology of converting text-based lessons to instructor-led videos, Berlitz was able to rapidly scale up their language training offerings while still preserving the invaluable human instructor experience.

20,000 language learning videos created in 4 languages

Ready to be scaled to 56 languages at any moment

Resources of one year saved

By switching from traditional video production to Hour One, Berlitz bought back a full year’s worth of employee time and resources.

Turing Test Passing

The quality of the characters and narration in Berlitz videos are virtually indistinguishable from real humans.
