Quickchannel, a provider of online streaming and recording services, is working with Scriptix to provide speech-to-text services.
Quickchannel entered into a partnership with Scriptix in 2021 to train and build an AI model for speech-to-text. Following the collaboration, Quickchannel will be providing a fully integrated AI for speech-to-text from January 2022. The new service will have support for both English and Swedish speakers, with the Swedish AI engine able to work with Quickchannel's customer data.
Speech recognition enables users to make audio content accessible. Useful information is often locked away in audio and is not always easy to retrieve. By applying speech-to-text, audio is turned into text and becomes both accessible and searchable in a word format. Once this is done, the output can be used as automatic subtitles for people suffering from hearing loss and as a way of indexing content in order to make large archives more convenient.
