VoxSigma
Encyclopedia
VoxSigma is a speech recognition
software suite developed by Vocapia Research
for Unix-like
x86 and x86-64
platforms.
, a French CNRS
laboratory conducting research on speech processing since the 70's. VoxSigma is
the latest generation of speech processing offered by Vocapia Research, building
upon accurate statistical modeling techniques developed at LIMSI
for
speech production and speech perception. The first commercial version was
released in July 2003.
It includes adaptive features allowing the transcription of noisy speech, such as speech over background music.
The software suite has been designed for professional users needing to transcribe large quantities of audio and
video documents such as broadcast data, either in batch mode or in real-time. Versions can also be used to
transcribe call-center data.
The speech-to-text processing result is a fully annotated XML document including labels for speech and non-speech
segments, speaker labels, words with time codes and high quality confidence scores. This XML file can be directly
indexed by a search engine, or alternatively can be converted into plain text with capitalization and punctuation.
Supported languages: Arabic, Dutch, English, French, German, Greek, Italian, Mandarin, Russian, Spanish.
Speech recognition
Speech recognition converts spoken words to text. The term "voice recognition" is sometimes used to refer to recognition systems that must be trained to a particular speaker—as is the case for most desktop recognition software...

X86-64
x86-64 is an extension of the x86 instruction set. It supports vastly larger virtual and physical address spaces than are possible on x86, thereby allowing programmers to conveniently work with much larger data sets. x86-64 also provides 64-bit general purpose registers and numerous other...
