AppTek Announces Enhanced PlainSpeech ASR for Farsi

AppTek announced the availability of its enhanced automated speech recognition (ASR) engine for Farsi.

The enhanced ASR engine also processes several other key languages such as Arabic and Spanish, and is compatible for use with machine translation, providing a complete solution for customers without integration costs or complex development.

AppTek’s PlainSpeech Broadcast and PlainSpeech Telephony engines are available to commercial customers and the U.S. Government through AppTek’s GSA schedule.

AppTek’s ASR technology is the industry’s first solution to employ Farsi transcription and translation in one platform, which can be utilized for many leading-edge machine translation and multilingual information retrieval projects, including media monitoring where it adjusts to changes in dialect and language in real-time to improve speed and accuracy.

“The benefits of the enhanced ASR engine go beyond traditional uses, as we are able to provide customers with mobile communications,” said Steve Cook, CTO at AppTek. “By utilizing the ASR engine through handheld devices, users are able to reap the benefits of the translation software where it makes the greatest impact, out in the field.”
