Companies who want to integrate the transcription of human speech into their products.

Speech-to-Text technology is key to indexing multimedia content as it is found in multimedia databases or in video and audio collections on the World Wide Web, and to make it searchable by human queries. In addition, it offers a natural interface for submitting and executing queries.

This technology is further part of speech-translation services. In combination with machine translation technology, it is possible to design machines that take human speech as input and translate it into a new language. This can be used to enable human-to-human combination across the language barrier or to access languages in a cross-lingual way.

One of the most important perceptual aspects of popular music is the succession of chords over time. Two tracks based on the same chord succession are perceived very similar and sometimes indicate a cover-version of the same composition. Automatic estimation of chord succession can therefore be used to perform search by similarity and play-list generation.
It can therefore benefit to music providers, online music portals.

Chord notation is also very popular for beginner musicians (a very large amount of guitar tabs are accessible and used over the web). Estimating automatically the chord succession of a given track can therefore be beneficial for personal users through the inclusion of the technology in local software.

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.

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.

All content providers may be interested by the soccer event detection technology to manage efficiently their content database. When repurposing applications are targeted, these same providers will see an interest in having this module to help automatically detect events of interest.

The soccer event detection module may also be used by end users to manage their own content at home.

• Content structuring & browsing: Knowing where actions of interest are in a soccer match allows structuring of soccer matches. It also gives direct access to events, thus enabling a non linear browsing in the document.
• Content retrieval: By adding additional metadata to contents (ie. timecodes of events), the module finds a direct application in the context of content retrieval in video databases.
• Content repurposing: Knowing where the events are in a soccer match allows to repurpose this content for other broadcasting channels such as the internet or portable devices. In the later case, building summary from the detected events is of interest for sending this new repurposed content to mobile phones.
