Speech-to-Text Conversion

Large vocabulary continuous speech recognition, also called speech-to-text or voice-to-text conversion is the key technology for enabling content-based information access in audio and video documents. Once automatically processed the linguistic information and metadata in the structured document are available for further downstream processing, providing direct access to relevant portions of audio documents. Among the most common applications of our technology are audio and audiovisual data mining (broadcast and telephone data), speech analytics, media monitoring, media asset management, speech transcription and subtitling.

We provide solutions and expertise for core speech processing technologies in many languages. For example, speech-to-text transcription is available for the Arabic, Dutch, English, French, Finnish, German, Greek, Italian, Mandarin, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian and Spanish languages, with several others under development. Our language identification module identifies the spoken language from a set of 50 languages, and clients can create models for their desired language set. We also work with our clients to adapt, tune or create specific models or systems tailored to their application needs. [REQUEST FORM]
