Loquendo to Integrate Speech Technologies into Government Telecommunications Product

Loquendo announced the integration of the Loquendo Voice Security Library (LVSL) into Raytheon Company’s Redwolf surveillance system.

Redwolf, used by government intelligence agencies for more than 20 years, is a solution that collects, stores, and analyzes digital audio telecommunications, Internet traffic and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) communications.

Loquendo LVSL is a software library incorporating speaker and multi-speaker recognition, speaker segmentation, language detection, and gender detection on conversational speech, as well as dual-tone mutli-frequency (DTMF) tone detection.

Intelligence agencies today must process huge amounts of data from a variety of sources—often under tight time constraints and with limited resources. LVSL is a rapid and reliable way to filter such data: by identifying the voice(s), language(s), and gender of the speaker, for example, the quantity of voice recordings that need to be gathered and analyzed is significantly reduced, so greatly enhancing the efficiency of the investigative process.

Redwolf can accept both digital and analog inputs via microphone, subscriber line loop extenders, high speech telecommunication trunks, and LAN and WAN networks.

“The Redwolf solution maximizes an agency’s resources during critical surveillance by quickly processing communications, before rapidly identifying and responding to threats,” said Luciano Piovano, VP of government intelligence solutions at Loquendo. “We are very pleased that Loquendo’s state of the art technology is now an integral component of this market-leading solution.”
