RUN.EDGE Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director & President: Jun Oguchi) implemented a major update to its AI video manual 'TAGURU' at the end of March 2026, significantly enhancing its AI automated manual generation capabilities.

At manufacturing sites facing severe labor shortages, standardizing operations, passing on expert skills, maintaining equipment, providing safety education, and transferring technical knowledge to foreign personnel have become urgent needs for turning a wide range of knowledge into assets. However, the heavy workload of creation was a major barrier.

With this update, AI automates the process of creating video manuals, from title generation to narration generation. High-quality manuals can be completed simply by 'shooting' without stopping site operations, dramatically improving organizational productivity.

Major Updates This Time

Evolution of AI Automatic Manual Generation The AI automatic manual generation function has evolved significantly, enabling non-stop execution from title creation to voice generation. This further reduces the effort required to create video manuals, allowing for the rapid preparation of easy-to-view manuals.

Automatic Generation of Page Titles By simply checking 'Automatically generate title' when uploading a video, the AI analyzes the task content and automatically inserts a task title onto the video. Viewers can instantly understand which task process they are currently watching. The generated titles can be freely modified later.

Batch Generation of Reading Voices By simply checking 'Automatically generate subtitle audio' when uploading a video, AI narration can be automatically generated simultaneously with text overlays. The previously required individual operations for voice generation are no longer needed, allowing for speedier creation of manuals complete with subtitles and reading voices.

Multilingual Support for AI Summarization By specifying the language spoken in the video, the AI can add task procedures, titles, key points, and tags in that language. Manuals can be directly created from videos explained in the native language of overseas bases or foreign staff, and can also be translated into Japanese after creation.

Priority Selection Between Reading Voice and Site Audio Users can now select whether to prioritize listening to the AI-generated reading voice or the original video's audio. For example, it is possible to verify procedural explanations using the reading voice, while checking actual task sounds or abnormal noises using the original video's audio. Both editors and viewers can choose their preferred audio priority during playback.

Specifying Narration Reading Pronunciation To prevent misreading of technical terms and proper nouns, the reading pronunciation can now be directly specified for each word. Site-specific designations and internal terminology can be played back in narration with the intended pronunciation.

Image Cropping Images can now be cropped directly within TAGURU. This eliminates the need for image processing in separate software and prevents interruptions in the editing workflow, thereby improving manual editing efficiency.

Folder Tree Function The overall structure of the content can now be viewed in a tree format, making it easier to grasp the big picture of the manuals. Video editors can organize items using drag-and-drop, and viewers can select and watch their desired manuals from the tree screen.

Multilingual Translation of Detailed Phrasing Detailed text, such as procedures and key points generated by AI, can now be switched with a single click according to the translation language. This further enhances usability in multilingual environments.

Enhanced Security via Account Lock A mechanism has been introduced to lock accounts when continuous login failures are detected within a short period. This mitigates the risk of unauthorized access and more securely protects video manuals, which are vital corporate assets.
