Global supplier of CDN, cloud, edge AI, and cybersecurity solutions, Gcore, has made its Gcore Artificial Intelligence Automated Speech Recognition (AI ASR) available to the general public. Gcore AI ASR would smoothly integrate into Gcore operations, making content better accessible to those who speak other languages or have hearing impairments. This would allow broadcasters, video on demand (VOD), live streaming, and corporate content owners to reach new worldwide audiences.
Quick and accurate delivery of live news, sports events, or investor relations information to users can be crucial for broadcasters, businesses, or content owners. According to Gcore, the automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems currently available may be cumbersome and costly, while putting a heavy demand on the resources of content owners and producers. When producing subtitles in numerous languages, the traditional method might take hours or even days while yielding inaccurate results.
Gcore AI ASR is a managed cloud service that supports more than 100 languages. It would free users from the burden of choosing and optimizing artificial intelligence (AI) models so they can concentrate on quickly creating subtitles for their material. The Gcore team would ensure that the pre-configured solution offers the optimum choice by thoroughly evaluating recently launched and upgraded ASR models. Customers may pick models and fine-tune them to fulfill particular requirements with the assistance of the Gcore managed service team.
‘Fast and Cost-Effective Subtitles’
With accuracy levels that “are on par with or better than those of humans and a word mistake rate of 4%–5% on average,” Gcore AI ASR is anticipated to be quick and affordable, producing subtitles for an hour-long film “in less than ten minutes.” To improve accuracy depending on the content to be subtitled, open-source ASR models for certain languages or topic categories may be used. Content with numerous spoken languages or terminology unique to a certain sector might benefit greatly from customization.
“Subtitles are critical to reaching global audiences with content,” said Alexey Petrovskikh, Head of Streaming Platform at Gcore. “Gcore’s AI speech recognition service – AI ASR – gives broadcasters, content owners and enterprises a cost-effective and accurate way to reach global audiences with fresh, accessible content. It is another step in our commitment to the continuous innovation of our solutions and edge infrastructure.”
