This software was created to alleviate the burden on companies in producing training videos for foreign workers, given the increasing number of foreigners working in Japan.

Teachme AI can create tutorial videos from raw footage in a short amount of time, reducing editing time by over 90%, with footage automatically divided into chapters with subtitles and written explanations. The software can produce content in languages ​​such as Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, and Bengali.

Satoshi Suzuki, president of Studist Corp, praised the videos for their usefulness in helping workers learn work procedures, while emphasizing the importance of training foreign personnel.

According to Japanese government data, the number of foreign workers in Japan reached 2 million for the first time at the end of October 2023.

Last month, the Japanese Parliament passed a revised law to replace the controversial foreign trainee program with a new system that encourages foreign workers to stay in the country longer.

During a demonstration test at a butcher shop in Ageo, Saitama Prefecture, north of Tokyo, the software created a 30-minute video demonstrating how to package meat in Thai. The video itself took only about 15 minutes to produce.

"I was surprised to see how quickly the instructional video was produced," said Yumi Eguchi, an executive at the wholesale company Sc Meat Co.

Meanwhile, Wandee Sriprom, a 42-year-old worker from Thailand, shared: "Thanks to the Thai subtitles, I can easily understand what I need to do."
