Cloud-based cognitive computing solutions company, Veritone, has partnered with Nuance, the provider of voice and language solutions to incorporate Nuance Transcription Engine (NTE) with Veritone’s cloud-based, hosted Cognitive Media Platfrom (CMP). The NTE is a powerful, fast and accurate engine that can quickly transforms massive amounts of recorded audio into actionable assets, across a wide range of industries. Veritone is providing an open ecosystem for developers, businesses and content owners to collaborate and effectively monetize the insights gained by programmatic cognitive analysis of audio and video.
The company’s CMP is an open cloud ecosystem of cognitive tools to harness the power of media. In near real time, audio and video streams can be analyzed to create actionable insights that were heretofore unimaginable. Industry leading organizations leverage the platform to create new revenue opportunities, improve security, enhance customer care and streamline education. Nuance joins Veritone’s growing set of partners that includes providers of cognitive engines such as sentiment extraction, tonal analysis, facial and object recognition and more. The addition of NTE will enhance the efficiency and overall capabilities of Veritone’s cognitive platform by adding highly accurate transcription.
Robert Weideman, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Nuance Enterprise, Nuance, says:
