Futur en Seine 2012
Vocapia Research, founded in July 2000, is an R&D company and
software publisher developing and providing leading edge speech
technologies and solutions for many languages, including most major
European Union languages as well as Arabic, Mandarin, and Russian. The
Vocapia Research VoxSigma
® software suite uses advanced
language technologies such as language identification, speech
recognition, and speaker identification to transform raw audio and
audiovisual data into structured and searchable XML documents. This
technology relies on over 25 years of research at LIMSI-CNRS, with
which there is a priviledged partnership. Joint systems developed
with LIMSI have achieved top ranks in national and international
challenges of speech-to-text transcription. The most common
applications of the VoxSigma software suite are audio and audiovisual
data mining (broadcast data, podcasts, call center data), media
monitoring, and media asset management. Vocapia Research is located in
the scientific pole of the Saclay Plateau, France. Readers who wish to
