Gcore Speech Recognition Sets Speed and Scalability Standard

Gcore, an edge artificial intelligence, cloud, network, and security solutions provider, has launched Gcore Artificial Intelligence Automated Speech Recognition AI ASR for broadcasters, video-on-demand (VOD), live streaming, and enterprise content owners to expand the accessibility of content for those speaking different languages or with hearing impairments.

Gcore AI ASR is a managed cloud service supporting more than 100 languages for subtitle generation. The managed service team supports customers with model selection and fine-tuning them to meet specific needs.

Gcore AI ASR can generate subtitles for a one-hour video in less than 10 minutes, with accuracy levels matching or exceeding  humans and typically achieving a 4 percent or 5 percent word error rate. Open-source ASR models for specific languages or subject domains can be selected to enhance accuracy based on the content to be subtitled. This customisation is particularly useful for industry-specific terminology, or content featuring multiple spoken languages.

"Subtitles are critical to reaching global audiences with content. 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," said Alexey Petrovskikh, head of streaming platform at Gcore, in a statement.
