76%. That's the number of global audiences that you're possibly missing out on every time you host a single-language virtual event.Three-quarters of potential viewers who could be engaging with your content, making purchases, or connecting with your brand… gone in an instant. Why? Because they prefer content in their native language.
Now that would have been a problem a few years ago, but today, that language barrier is being shattered by AI-powered text-to-speech technology. What was once a complex, expensive process requiring dozens of translators and voice actors is now happening automatically, in real-time, across 140+ languages.
While most virtual events remain trapped in single-language silos, forward-thinking organizations are using AI text-to-speech to reach global audiences instantly. CAMB.AI's revolutionary technology requires just 2-3 seconds of reference audio to clone a speaker's voice with perfect emotional nuance across 140+ languages.
This isn't the robotic voice synthesis of yesterday.
Modern AI text-to-speech with emotion captures every subtle pause, tone shift, and emphasis that makes human speech compelling. The result? Virtual events start feeling deeply personal to every listener, regardless of their native language.
Major League Soccer made history as the first organization to livestream games in multiple languages using AI-powered text-to-speech technology from CAMB.AI. Chris Schlosser, Senior VP of Emerging Ventures at MLS, called it an "unbelievable use-case" for AI technology.
The Australian Open similarly redefined sports broadcasting by enabling post-match conferences in multiple languages, allowing global fans to experience press conferences in their native languages without delay.
The film industry is experiencing the same transformation. "Three" made history as the first Arabic film released in Mandarin using AI dubbing technology, with director Nayla Al Khaja calling it "a testament to the power of innovation in storytelling."
Creating multilingual virtual events with AI-powered text-to-speech requires just three simple steps:
What traditionally took weeks and thousands of dollars per language now happens in minutes at a fraction of the cost. For a detailed walkthrough, check out CAMB.AI's guide on how to dub a video like a pro.
When viewers consume content in their native language, engagement skyrockets. Research from CSA Research shows that 76% of online consumers prefer content in their native language, and 40% won't engage with content in other languages at all.
For virtual event organizers, these numbers translate directly into higher attendance, longer view times, better engagement, and ultimately stronger ROI—all from speaking directly to each attendee in their language.
At the heart of this revolution lies the MARS model—CAMB.AI's sophisticated text-to-speech system. Unlike conventional voice synthesis that sounds robotic and emotionless, MARS requires just 2-3 seconds of reference audio to capture a speaker's complete vocal identity.
What makes MARS extraordinary is its combination of autoregressive and non-autoregressive techniques that capture prosody, rhythm, and emotional nuance. This approach enables the model to handle challenging scenarios that previously defeated AI systems, like the rapid-fire excitement of sports commentary.
Content creators are discovering how AI voices on YouTube and other platforms can expand their global reach while maintaining their authentic voice and style across all languages.
Five features of AI text-to-speech for virtual events
For organizations with global aspirations, these capabilities aren't luxuries—they're becoming essential competitive advantages. The top use cases for text-to-speech technology continue to expand as the technology matures.
The AI text-to-speech market is growing at an astounding 14% compound annual growth rate, projected to reach far beyond its current $4 billion valuation by 2032. This explosive growth is being driven by virtual events that are now reaching truly global audiences for the first time.
Organizations at the forefront of this transformation are seeing unprecedented global reach, engagement, and ROI. The technology that once seemed futuristic is now being used daily by major sports leagues, global corporations, and leading content creators.
Podcasters are discovering how to make podcasts using CAMB.AI, enabling them to reach international audiences with the same authentic voice that built their original following.
The question isn't whether AI-powered text-to-speech will transform virtual events—it's whether you'll be among the first to leverage this advantage or among the last to catch up.
The language barrier that once divided global audiences has been shattered. Virtual events that once reached only a fraction of their potential audience can now speak directly to viewers in 140+ languages, with all the emotional nuance and authenticity of the original presentation.
