MY MISSION - COME WITH ME ON MY JOURNEY

My first chapter is written, now comes the second

I will help you reach everyone and realize your full potential.

Discover VIDEO.TAXI: The power of an innovative platform paired with my experience at the service of your communication

Hi, I'm Michael, the founder of VIDEO.TAXI. I have always loved being a pioneer. My journey in the world of media started a while ago, but believe me, it's anything but old-fashioned. I started my own school newspaper at the age of twelve and later founded the world's first flight sharing centre as a young entrepreneur. I learned that to move the world, you always have to be one step ahead. I opened the first chapter in 1997. With live streaming, I wanted to offer everyone the same opportunitiesthat only TV stations had at the time. To give everyone the same opportunity to reach people.

My experience as a reporter or in front of the microphone and camera at Radio Gong 96.3, RTL or ARD or getting through challenges such as the bursting of the Internet bubble in 2000 and the rise of YouTube through free hosting that almost ruined me. That's when I realized how important it is to keep innovating. Technically, we can now reach everyone. But in terms of content? Which brings us to the second chapter of my mission :

Reach everyone - That's exactly what I'm bringing to VIDEO.TAXI - a platform that takes your communication to the next level.

My team and I are developing the latest AI-based applications to break down language barriers and take comprehensibility to a new level . Just imagine: Your content is transcribed and translated in real-time so that anyone, anywhere in the world, can understand your message. With transcription, this content is indexed for the first time and can be used in a variety of ways for the first time. The value of your content has multiplied.

Are you in the in the event industry, in marketing, or in the public sector? No matter, VIDEO.TAXI expands your reach and allows you to communicate with your audience in a whole new way. From live subtitling of large events to automated voice over with natural sounding voices - we have the technology you need to stand out and be understood by everyone.

We have been working very actively with VIDEO.TAXI since fall 2020. We appreciate the intuitive UX of the SaaS solution and the HD quality of the livestream signals. Total freedom in the branding of the player, chat function and cloud-based recording round off the offer perfectly for us. But what excites us the most is the AI-based transcription. This allows us to pick up viewers in their national language while we discuss with experts in another language, for example.
