东京——一家新西兰投资者信息服务提供商开发了一种使用人工智能的配音服务，可将公司高管的视频即时翻译成多种语言。
TOKYO -- A New Zealand investor information services provider has developed a dubbing service using artificial intelligence that instantly translates videos of company executives into multiple languages.
随着东京证券交易所自2025年起要求其主板上市公司提供英文披露信息，由原Straker更名为Arbitr Group的公司推出的这项服务，预计将帮助寻求加强与海外投资者沟通的日本企业。
The service by Arbitr Group, formerly named Straker, is expected to help Japanese companies seeking to bolster communication with overseas investors as the Tokyo Stock Exchange has required since 2025 that companies listed on its Prime market provide disclosures in English.
“传统配音并不总能完全捕捉到说话者的激情和微妙的细微差别，”Arbitr联席首席执行官、兼日本子公司Straker Japan代表董事大卫·索厄比表示。“通过让说话者用自己的声音用其他语言进行交流，我们可以使他们的信息对受众更具吸引力和影响力。”索厄比说，海外投资者除了希望看到收益之外，还希望看到公司的“背景”，例如过去的披露信息和战略。将此类公司背景纳入AI中可以提高翻译和文档创建的准确性。他补充说，这有助于企业“不仅传达数字，还传达数字背后的故事”。
"Traditional dubbing has not always fully captured a speaker's passion and subtle nuances," said Arbitr co-CEO David Sowerby, who is also representative director at Japanese subsidiary Straker Japan. "By enabling speakers to communicate in other languages using their own voices, we can make their messages more compelling and impactful for audiences." Overseas investors want to see a company's "context," such as past disclosures and strategies, in addition to earnings, Sowerby said. Incorporating such company background into AI improves the accuracy of translation and document creation. This helps companies "communicate not just the numbers, but the story behind them," he added.
来自高层管理人员的沟通提供了至关重要的信息。投资者密切关注高管使用的语言，特别是在人才发展等难以量化的领域。
Communications from top management provide crucial information. Investors pay close attention to the language used by executives, especially in areas that are hard to quantify, such as talent development.
根据日经研究对日本及其他地区250家公司人力资源政策的分析，高净资产收益率公司中最常见的做法是对外披露人才战略。
The most common practice among companies with high return on equity was external disclosures on talent strategies, according to a Nikkei Research analysis of human resource policies at 250 companies in Japan and elsewhere.
Arbitr表示，其AI配音可以将成本控制在每分钟900日元（合6美元），而传统的人工配音成本可能高达每分钟80到100美元。该公司还收到日本企业的咨询，询问是否可以将该技术用于其海外设施的产品手册、培训和营销视频。
Arbitr says its AI dubbing can keep costs down to 900 yen ($6) per minute, compared with conventional human dubbing that can cost $80 to $100 per minute. The company also receives inquiries from Japanese businesses about using the technology for product manuals and training and marketing videos for their facilities abroad.
海外投资者对日本企业的兴趣正在增长。根据东交所和其他交易所的股东分布数据，在2025财年，日本股票的外资持股比例达到34.7%，连续第三年创下历史新高。
Interest in Japanese companies is growing among overseas investors. In fiscal 2025, foreign ownership of Japanese shares reached 34.7%, according to shareholder distribution data from the TSE and other exchanges, setting a record high for the third year running.
在英文披露方面，挑战依然存在。东交所于2025年9月发布的调查结果包括了海外投资者的不满评论，称英文披露往往延迟3到5个工作日，且往往不如日文版本全面。
Challenges remain when it comes to disclosures in English. Survey results released by the TSE in September 2025 included comments from dissatisfied overseas investors saying that English disclosures are often delayed by three to five business days and they are often not as comprehensive as Japanese versions.
