Since AlexNet5, deep learning has replaced heuristic hand-crafted features by unifying feature learning with deep neural networks. Later, Transformers6 and GPT-3 (ref. 1) further advanced sequence learning at scale, unifying structured tasks such as natural language processing. However, multimodal learning, spanning modalities such as images, video and text, has remained fragmented, relying on separate diffusion-based generation or compositional vision-language pipelines with many hand-crafted designs.

Voice-over adds a human dimension to digital learning. It guides learners through content, clarifies complex ideas, and creates a sense of presence that static text and visuals alone cannot achieve. In asynchronous environments-where learners navigate content independently-it serves as a virtual instructor, offering structure, tone, and emphasis that help learners stay focused and emotionally connected. Enhancing Engagement And Attention One of the most powerful benefits of voice-over is its ability to anchor learner attention.

The advancement of vision-language models (VLMs) relies on foundational design choices, yet many lack justification, hindering progress by obscuring performance improvements.
