YAP Taps into Extra Content Storage for Voice-toText Platform

Yap has selected Austin, Texas-based Caringo to provide the content storage infrastructure for its’s next-generation mobile speech-to-text platform.

Yap will use Caringo’s CAStor content storage software built on third-generation content addressable storage (CAS) technology to create a high-performance storage infrastructure with virtually unlimited scalability to support audio and text content derived from Yap’s Automatic Speech Recognition cluster. Yap enables customers to dictate messages into their mobile devices, which are then instantly converted into text and sent as SMS messages to their recipients.

"CAStor was the only storage solution we found that could meet the scalability, cost, and performance standards we needed to properly implement our Automatic Speech Recognition platform for telco grade deployments," said Igor Jablokov, cofounder and CEO of Yap. "Caringo’s approach to content storage and data protection ensures that Yap customers’ voice and text messages will be safe and secure with CAStor."

"Yap has created a truly innovative speech recognition solution with an architecture that takes full advantage of the simplicity and scalability of CAStor," said Mark Goros, Caringo CEO. "We look forward to working with Yap to build the success of the ASR platform."
