Vecsys-Research develops speech processing technologies for multilingual, large vocabulary speech recognition (speech-to-text), automatic audio segmentation, language identification and speaker recognition. We also develop core speech recognizer engines for conversational interfaces.

This core technology serves as the basis for a variety of applications ranging from interactive conversational interfaces 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. Vecsys-Research is providing and further developing these technologies for the Quaero program.
