VOCAPIA and SYSTRAN demonstrate an automated speech translation solution at EUROSATORY 2016
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Paris, June 6th, 2016 - In the context of EUROSATORY exhibition, SYSTRAN and
VOCAPIA are demonstrating how they combined their language processing
technologies to provide Intelligence professionals with an automated speech
translation solution available in more than 45 languages.
At the 25th edition of the largest international land and airland Defence &
Security exhibition, held in Paris Nord Villepinte from June 13th to June 17th,
SYSTRAN, a world leader in machine translation and VOCAPIA, leader in automatic
speech processing in the Defence industry, will expose side by side in HALL 5,
on booth 5D 448.
Current international geopolitical instability has enhanced the need for
understanding the Eastern and Middle-Eastern languages. Actors in charge of
territories security more than ever need to have efficient multilingual
intelligence capabilities of OSINT and COMINT.
Therefore, SYSTRAN and VOCAPIA have decided to combine their technologies and
offer a speech transcription and machine translation solution in more than 45
languages. With this solution, it's now possible to transcribe an audio file in
Arabic and instantly translate the automatic transcript to English.
A demo will allow visitors to see how the combination of both companies'
expertise can process a large number of audio files to quickly detect critical
information and understand it regardless of language. To improve translation
quality, SYSTRAN uses custom-tailored models that have fulfilled the quality
standards of many Intelligence agencies in Europe, the U.S., Asia and the Middle
East.
"Our customers have increasingly been requesting technology to process audio
files" notes Emmanuel Tonnelier, Director of Intelligence solutions at SYSTRAN.
"By combining Vocapia's and our language processing expertise, it is easier to
search and index multilingual information."
"By integrating SYSTRAN's machine translation into our solution, we add an
essential feature in detecting the information needed to take action:
understanding the transcribed audio content," adds Bernard Prouts, President of
VOCAPIA.
