Vecsys Research
* announced that its technology is now used by the Exalead
company to automatically transcribe audiovisual documents for the web
site of the French Presidency (
http://www.elysee.fr). Automatic
speech recognition allows users to search for and locate specific
words in all of the audiovisual documents in the web archive, and to
play the audio at the precise time the words were spoken, i.e.
enabling users to search video content as they do with text content.
All the documents are also fully accessible using Voxalead, an Exalead
technology demonstrator, allowing everyone to search through the
speeches according to subjects of interest.
Founded in July 2000, Vecsys Research is an R&D company
developing and providing leading edge speech technologies and
solutions for many languages, including Arabic, Dutch, English,
French, Greek, Italian, Mandarin, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.
The Vecsys Research VoxSigma
® software suite uses
advanced language technologies such as language identification, speech
recognition, and speaker recognition to transform raw audio and
audiovisual data into structured and searchable XML documents. The
technology relies on over 25 years of research at LIMSI-CNRS, with
which there is a priviledge partnership.
The most common applications of VoxSigma software suite technology are
audio and audiovisual data mining (broadcast data, podcasts, call
center data), media monitoring, and media asset management.
Vecsys Research is located in Orsay, France.
