AI-Media Enters into Partnership with DAZN
AI-Media, a global leader in end-to-end captioning technology solutions, has entered into a new partnership with DAZN, the global sports entertainment streaming platform. Through this collaboration, AI-Media will deliver live and recorded multi language and translated captioning using various solutions from its AI-powered LEXI Tool Kit.
DAZN Group is one of the world’s fastest-growing sports media platforms, and this partnership marks a significant moment in their commitment to inclusivity and accessibility of their content. Leveraging AI-Media’s LEXI Tool Kit, DAZN will seamlessly integrate live captions across its extensive and diverse premium sports content, enriching the viewer experience for millions worldwide.
Key highlights of this partnership include:
Cutting-Edge Technology: LEXI 3.0, AI-Media’s latest automatic captioning solution, introduces innovative features such as speaker identification and AI-powered caption placement, ensuring accuracy exceeding 98%. LEXI’s advanced vocabulary caters to region-specific nuances, including challenging pronunciations and complex spellings, enhancing the quality of sport content captioning.
Complete End-to-End Solution: DAZN will utilise AI-Media’s Alta IP caption Encoder for LEXI Live captioning delivery. Alta offers a virtualised, API-powered software solution tailored for IP video environments, ensuring seamless integration.
Expanded Language Support: Initial rollout includes Spanish and English captions for EMEA and US markets, with plans for additional languages through LEXI Translate, encompassing French, German, Italian, Arabic, Japanese and more. This supports DAZN’s global expansion strategy across its 120 channels, catering to diverse audiences worldwide.
Support for On-Demand FAST Channels: DAZN has implemented AI-Media’s LEXI Recorded solution for captioning pre-recorded content on their FAST (Free Ad-supported Streaming TV) Channels. LEXI Recorded, a newly launched solution in the LEXI Tool Kit, offers fast turnaround, highly accurate and low-cost captions – essential for high volume, time-sensitive captioning applications of recorded content.
Cost-Effective Solution: Transitioning from costly human captioning services to AI-Media’s LEXI platform enables DAZN to deliver multi-language captions across multiple channels at the same cost as human delivery, enhancing accessibility while optimising resources.
Mark Lovatt, General Manager of Global Strategic Accounts at AI-Media, said: “With this new agreement, we’re excited to bring live and recorded multilingual captions to DAZN viewers using our LEXI Tool Kit solutions. Choosing AI-Media for LEXI automated captioning underscores the impact of Artificial Intelligence on the industry. As the top automatic captioning provider, we’re uniquely positioned to deliver high-quality captions for DAZN at a lower cost. This partnership marks a milestone in our global sports market expansion, and we’re thrilled to work with DAZN to make their content accessible to all viewers through our leading automated captions.”
James Pearce, SVP of Broadcast & Streaming at DAZN, said: “DAZN is at the forefront of using technology to improve the enjoyment and viewing experience of fans. This partnership with AI-Media is another example of where DAZN uses best in class tech-based solutions to deliver the services and products that our customers want and expect. DAZN is all about putting customer choice at the centre of our offer, so we will be working hard to roll this out across all our services and looking forward to progressing this with AI-Media.”

Evoplay launches Caramelo Dog Lucky Run crash game for Brazil
Evoplay has launched Caramelo Dog Lucky Run, a new crash-style instant win game themed around Brazilian street culture and the widely recognised “Caramelo Dog” reference.
The title follows Taco, a dog navigating a neighbourhood filled with obstacles. Players move step by step across roads as the multiplier increases, choosing to cash out or keep going.
Evoplay said the game uses randomised obstacle patterns so each round plays differently. Players can choose between four difficulty settings — Easy, Medium, Hard, and Hardcore — with higher difficulty increasing obstacle intensity and the multiplier.
Caramelo Dog Lucky Run also includes a cash-out function that can be triggered after Taco safely stops, plus customisable autoplay settings for stake preferences and stop conditions.
Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “Caramelo Dog Lucky Run brings a completely fresh personality to our portfolio through its vibrant Brazilian-inspired setting and charming main character.
“Players in Brazil need games that feel familiar, authentic and culturally connected to them. When a player recognises something that reflects their everyday life and online culture, it creates a far deeper level of engagement than entertainment alone, and that is exactly what Caramelo does in this game.”
