-
Automatically track diversity across audio & visual platforms
Diversity Tracker lets you catch and analyze basic diversity metrics of your content in both audio & visual formats. Using face and audio recognition technology, our proprietary AI algorithm determines the gender, age and origin of contributors featured in your content.
-
Monitor and set targets at channel/program or site level
Our unique dashboard allows you to measure and monitor your diversity concurrently, with a complete live overview of key diversity metrics: split between genders and age, across time slots, by week, split between hosts/others and much more.
-
Progress and support cultural change
An old adage says: "Not everything that matters can be measured". But finally you can support your drive for cultural change with data! Diversity Tracking provides visual evidence of the progress you are making - and will create excitement and support for the cultural change needed to be truly diverse.
How we track diversity in content
We track content on all platforms from social media and broadcast channels to podcasts and websites.
Our proprietary AI algorithm can identify all faces in video, the voices talking and the topics they talk about. We are transparent with our customers regarding how our algorithms works.
Accuracy measures:
- Gender identification: 98%
- Age identification: +/- 4 years
- Origin identifications: 'caucassian/non-caucassian': 90%
- Gender in audio 99%
- Topics in audio 95%
How we track diversity in topics
Representation in gender is one thing. Representation in topics is another.
Our algorithm determines a person's gender with 95% accuracy based on their voice alone. On top of that we analyze everything they talk about and uses Natural Language Processing to determine the topics, so you know if the representation in topics are skewed.
For broadcasters
Unlike many of the self-reporting initiatives, DiversityCatch uses AI to track the faces and voices of contributors across all content and delivers an unbiased view as experienced by your users. Our advanced technology and data visualization makes it easier than ever before to put action behind your diversity agenda.
Instant overview of diversity at channel level
DiversityCatch can be delivered as a live dashboard for you broadcast channel, that showcases all the key metrics you wish to follow. For example:
- Average % of females on screen (last 24h + over time)
- Average age of males and females (last 24h + over time)
- Average % female exposure in primetime
This allows you to concurrently track how your diversity efforts are affecting your output, and dashboards can be customized to support your needs and key focus points.
Key metrics and development at program level for Editors
Nothing moves the needle on your diversity efforts, like the editorial teams taking responsibility to act.
Available as soon as the program has aired, the editorial dashboard allows every editor to monitor the diversity of their specific show, breaking it down into the key metrics that matter. Able to visualize the shows progression over time on metrics like % male/female screentime and age, it is the perfect tool for editorial teams to rally around. We've even seen editorial staff compete against each other to drive key diversity metrics up!
Check your On Demand content
With an easy to use tool, you can check the diversity in all your On Demand content. Just add a link to an episode or series and receive all the insights.
If needed, the solution can also be integrated directly into your media archive.
Separate presenters from contributors
DiversityCatch will let you search for specific faces across all media sources, and identity exposures of key talent, spokespersons or people of interest with +95% accuracy.
We train a bespoke algorithm for your solution. That way you are able to separate out and look specifically at for example the diversity of your talent base and how this is reflected in exposure.
Note: Editorial entities do not require GDPR consent to search for specific faces.
Benchmark against other broadcasters
With DiversityCatch you can also benchmark yourself against your competitors. We scan the content of both local, regional and global TV stations. We are the only provider of a map of the diversity in the content from European broadcasters. See it here.
