AppTek Selected by Menacast to Deploy Large Scale Media Monitoring System

AppTek today announced its participation with Menacast as the chosen platform for its large-scale media monitoring system.

AppTek’s MediaSphere was selected during the initial architecture phase of this ambitious endeavor for a multi-channel simultaneous monitoring solution and deployed to monitor an initial number of live channels. Menacast has now announced that it has scaled beyond the initial deployment and is currently using AppTek’s MediaSphere platform to monitor more than 20 live channels 24 hours a day and plans to scale to 50 channels by mid-year. Menacast is a large media monitoring enterprise providing media mining and intelligence reporting of satellite, terrestrial, and Web-based television and radio stations.

Menacast is utilizing AppTek’s MediaSphere software, a fully automated turnkey solution that incorporates hybrid machine translation, automated speech recognition, knowledge management, content management, and other relevant technologies to provide multilingual transcripts from both broadcast and non-broadcast sources. AppTek designed the architecture to deploy MediaSphere on a large enough scale to allow Menacast to expand their monitoring organization to capture and mine content from their initial engagement of 20 live channels to 100 or more outlets 24 hours a day and 365 days per year.

“The stability of MediaSphere has enabled us to grow according to our projections and develop an online service providing access to customized information captured from the various channels we monitor,” said Chafik Moalem, CTO at Menacast.
