I can’t find any verification, and the spokespersons deflections are questionable, but that looks to be the wrong company. OONA, two O’s, brings up an A/B thumbnail testing platform for YouTube.
OOONA, 3 O’s, brings up a company tied to DeepDub that handles AI subtitling.
EDIT: And still fuck Crunchyroll, not siding with them, just relaying what I can find from some poking around. No clue what fuckery OONA might be up to, but they don’t look tied to OOONA from a cursory dive.
Crunchyroll was gross before this, you shouldn’t support them
Source?
Just tap the link /s
So where is the proof?
The app links to this site as its proof.
I am not claiming it’s valid proof, or invalid, I just wanted to know what it considered to be proof, and shared that one link so you can see for yourself.
Thank you. That’s really all I was looking for since OP didn’t post it themselves.
You’re welcome.
I heard about this months ago. You should be pirating anyway.

top level summary: Crunchyroll switched from one subtitling tool to OOONA, an Israeli AI company.
Aniyomi exists.
