Personalized audio: the technology offers the user the possibility of enjoying a broadcast TV program in his/her favorite language. Additional languages are streamed on demand from a server and can be rendered either on the main TV screen or on a personal device (e.g. smartphone with headphone).

Multi-view on multi-screen: the user can enrich the broadcast TV program (e.g. music live concert or sport event) by selecting additional points of views rendered on a second screen, e.g. a tablet.

Hybrid stereoscopic 3D TV: it consists in rendering a 3D side-by-side content without monopolizing a broadcast channel. One view is transmitted over a broadcast network whilst the other view is delivered over Internet. Each view can be rendered independently as a 2D content.

The targeted users and customers are the multimedia industry actors, and all academic or industrial laboratories interested in textual document processing.

The targeted users and customers of speech-to-text transcription technologies are actors in the multimedia and call center sector, including academic and industrial organizations interested in the automatic mining processing of audio or audiovisual documents.

This core technology can serve as the basis for a variety of applications: multilingual audio indexing, teleconference transcription, telephone speech analytics, transcription of speeches, subtitling…

Large vocabulary continuous speech recognition is the key technology for enabling content-based information access in audio and audiovisual documents. Most of the linguistic information is encoded in the audio channel of audiovisual data, which once transcribed can be accessed using text-based tools.

Via speech recognition, spoken document retrieval can support random access using specific criteria to relevant portions of audio documents, reducing the time needed to identify recordings in large multimedia
databases. Some applications are data-mining, news-on-demand, and
media monitoring.

Recognition of printed or handwritten text is heavily used in the mass processing of paper mail, filled-out forms and letters e.g. to insurance companies, and has been covered by the media in connection with the mass digitization of books. New usage patterns will evolve from the better coverage of handwriting and difficult font systems like Arabic or Chinese and from the recognition of text in any form of image data that due to digital cameras and the Internet, is being produced and distributed in ever increasing volumes.

Everyone who has to group a large set of images in such a way that images in the same group are more similar to each other than to those in other groups, like for instance, in incoming mail processing.

Question-answering is an end-user application. The purpose is to go beyond the traditional way of retrieving information through search engines. Our system is interactive, with both a speech (phone or microphone) and  text (web) interface.

QA system can be viewed as a direct extension of search engines. They allow a user to ask questions in natural language.

AudioPrint is dedicated to middle-ware integrators that wish to develop audio fingerprint applications (i.e. systems for live recognition of music on air), as well as synchronization frameworks for second screen applications (a mobile device brings contents directly related to the live TV program). The music recognition application can also be used by digital rights management companies.
