Leading edge speech processing technology


Vecsys Research develops speech processing technologies for multilingual, large vocabulary speech recognition (speech-to-text), automatic audio segmentation, language identification and speaker recognition. Core speech recognizer engines are available for broadcast data and conversational speech in multiple languages.

This core technology can serve as the basis for a variety of applications ranging from interactive conversational systems to the automatic indexing of audio data.

For the latter class of applications, large vocabulary continuous speech recognition is the key technology for enabling content-based information access in audio and video documents. Most of the linguistic information is encoded in the audio channel of audiovisual data, which once transcribed can be accessed using text-based tools.

Among the most common applications of our technology are audio and audiovisual data mining (broadcast data, call center data), media monitoring, media asset management, and telephone-based conversational systems.


   

Speech recognition (also called speech-to-text conversion) is the process of converting speech into text, allowing text processing tools to be applied to audio and audiovisual documents.

Vecsys Research and LIMSI (CNRS) technologies have been ranked first in the French Technolangue ASR benchmark tests (2005 and 2009) and in the Dutch NBEST ASR benchmarks test (2008). Vecsys Research is providing and further developing these technologies for the Quaero program.

Founded in 2000, Vecsys Research is an R&D company specialized in the development of multilingual technologies for speech and language processing, in particular speech to text transcription systems, audio and speaker segmentation and identification, and language recognition. It has privileged partnerships with the Vecsys company and the LIMSI (CNRS) laboratory.
