About Productive Playhouse

*Note: Productive Playhouse will only contact candidates or clients from an @productiveplayhouse.com email domain.* Productive Playhouse is an International Language Services and Production company based in Los Angeles with multiple cleanroom facilities throughout the world. Language is at the heart of our company, with our services in linguistics focussing as much on machine learning as human speech. The projects we engage in cover a broad range of human and machine speech and word processing. These include localization, text to speech and speech recognition, transcription, translation, proofreading, field data gathering, and rating services. We work with over 180 language locales and have operations across the globe. The specialities offered by our Language Services division also extend to in-depth studies of linguistics and language, with regionalized content creation and analysis refining text word by word. Productive Playhouse operates with the most up to date Natural Language Understanding (NLU) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) software to bring the human elements of language and linguistics to AI speech and learning. Our Production Division has produced several high quality children’s educational content series, and has won many awards for its exceptional work in making language education accessible and fun. As a Los Angeles based company, Productive Playhouse’s main operating language is English, but our diverse, multilingual team members enable us to speak and conduct business in English, French, Spanish, Turkish, Dutch, and German to expand our reach. Each project, we work with a range of individual target language speakers and qualified linguists with experience in text to speech and machine learning, phonology, and sociolinguistics. We deliver outstanding work thanks to the unique skills in linguistics that our workers offer. Our language services are about more than just a job, they’re about bringing human speech into the future.
