Quaero, Vocapia, in close collaboration with LIMSI-CNRS, has substantially
improved the state-of-the-art in speech-to-text transcription, speaker
diarization and recognition and language recognition. The VoxSigma system will
be demonstrated at the Quaero booth, illustrating real-time speech-to-text
transcription in 13 languages as well as speaker-diarization.
