What this means
The service is no longer operating. Move your workflow before you lose access.
The standalone platform is offline; papercup.com now returns a 403 error and there is no login or signup. If you have dubbed videos or translation projects that were only stored with Papercup, treat them as unrecoverable unless you hold local copies of the delivered files. RWS acquired the technology and sells AI dubbing as a service, so teams with ongoing localization needs can contact RWS or move to a self-serve alternative.
