Applied Solutions

Discover AppTek's neural AI/ML powered 4D modeling solutions custom-tailored to meet your needs.

Automatic Dubbing

AppTek’s cutting-edge automatic dubbing technologies provide accurate automatic speech recognition (ASR) cascaded and timed-encoded with neural machine translation (NMT) and adaptive text-to-speech TTS technologies, while automatically taking into account voice print, prosody, and volume-emotion for natural-sounding speech, for complete end-to-end automatic dubbing workflows.

Automatic Transcripton

AppTek’s AI/ML expertise applied to advanced automatic speech recognition (ASR) technology delivers the highest accuracy for automatic speech-to-text transcriptions across a wide range of languages, dialects, domains, audio bands and acoustic environments for both short-form and long-form continuous speech tasks.  We offer our own technology and models but also work with existing ASR providers to improve their performance.

Automatic Neural Translation

AppTek’s AI/ML expertise applied to neural machine translation (NMT) technology offers fast, scalable, and high-quality translations across multiple language pairs with models trained on large amounts of public and proprietary data and covering a wide range of data types and domains. AppTek’s NMT can be deployed for low-resource languages along with customized systems that take advantage of the multidimensional metadata in the NMT system to produce custom tailored outputs (ie genre, formal/informal, domain, dialect) and a single system capable of multiple domains and genres.

Demographic Optimization

AppTek’s comprehensive multilingual HLT models cover a diverse set of multidimensional domains covering an even more diverse set of demographics including gender (male/female), age (children, middle age, elderly), race (African American, Hispanic, Caucasian) , region (Northern dialects,  Southern dialects), education (high school, graduate), and other demographic profiles designed to boost accuracy and reduce bias.

Language Identification

AppTek’s Language Identification (LID) technology automatically identifies source languages of unknown content from audio such as media archives, phone calls, social media and other content to produce time-synched metadata by language.  Additionally, AppTek offers identifies languages within large amounts of text found in sources such as online forums, e-mails, customer reviews, etc.

Natural Language Understanding

AppTek’s natural language understanding (NLU) technology seamlessly identifies valuable context and “meaning” from documents, recordings or conversations, and relates named entities, intent, modalities and objects together to build a knowledge graph which evolves over time in order to extract valuable and actionable information for deeper contextual analysis. AppTek’s NLU technologies can be utilized for sentiment analysis, automated reasoning, text classification, voice-activation and content analysis with the overall goal to provide deeper insights inside virtually any cluster of text.

Redaction

AppTek’s HLT technologies mask sensitive personally identifiable information (PII) from documents and transcriptions including bank account numbers, credit card numbers, email addresses, phone numbers social security numbers and mailing addresses.

Sentiment/Emotion Analysis

Extract the overall opinion, attitude, polarization or feeling over a specific topic, product or category for deeper analysis of sentiment across large clusters of text.  Identify emotional cues from from multimodal text and changes in prosody offered in audio to provide even deeper insights.

Speech Synthesis

AppTek's text-to-speech (TTS) services provide high quality lifelike synthesized speech that can be used for interactive agents, offline dubbing and real-time speech generation.  Advanced customization allows for the adaption of speech to a pre-selected desired voice, or create a custom voice print from an existing voice actor.

Custom Deployment

AppTek's 4D technology includes robust customization and deployment options for any project.

Acoustic Model Adaptation

While our general model acoustic profiles are continuously adapted to work well across a large variety of situations and audio characteristics,  AppTek's scientists can adapt models further to account for unique acoustic environments such as instances where there are poor audio inputs (low microphone quality), atypical speech patterns such as slow/fast talkers or speakers with pronounced non-native accents, multi-array microphones, noisy environments such as construction zones, and more.

Captioning Appliance

Apptek’s industry-leading automatic speech recognition (ASR) technology is available via an on-premise appliance which can reside on a broadcasters premises sitting between a digital/analog audio input and closed captioning encoder to deliver same language automatic captions for accessibility without any need to connect to the cloud.

Cloud Deployment

AppTek’s cloud services offer customers with developer-friendly 24/7 API access to our speech and language models with a wide array of tools to further extract and enhance results.   The platform supports advanced features including lattice output, lexicon customization and produces results in popular outputs such as SRT, XML, JSON, and others.

Data Bias Correction

AppTek’s Data Services team works hand-in-hand with speech technology scientists to create bias-corrected data for our global language models that takes into account demographic, race, age, education level and a variety of other factors to ensure higher performance.  We work diligently to reduce propensity for bias on all of our models.

End-to-End Modeling

As a leader in the full stack of speech and language technologies including automatic speech recognition, neural machine translation, natural language understanding / processing and neural speech synthesis, AppTek can chain these multiple technologies together for a complete end-to-end speech-to-speech multilingual translation solution.

Language Model Adaptation

AppTek can adopt its lexicon for customized language models to more accurately transcribe uncommon words, phrases and strings based on a unique vocabulary and domain.  Language model adaptation can include adding new words to the vocabulary such as proper names, street names, etc, or to better expose the language models to common phrases within a domain (for example a financial source may have 'shorting Apple" versus a cooking show source "cutting apple".)

Multimodal Data Labeling

AppTek's team of scientific experts works in tandem with our global annotation workforce to create, collect, classify, and tag real-world domain-specific conversations across a wide range of languages/dialects and demographics to fuel better new AI-enabled customer experiences at scale.  We deliver scientifically tested and quality-assured speech, text and video acoustic, language ad media packs to meet any custom project requiring the use of premium data.

On-Premise Deployment

AppTek’s language models are available for on-premise deployment within an easy-to-deploy docker container that supports both synchronous and asynchronous streaming.  Pre-built code in multiple frameworks offers developers a quick jumpstart to get instantly moving on premise.

Output Customization

AppTek delivers a wide range of features for output and readability, such as Intelligent Line Segmentation for subtitle files in the media and entertainment iIndustry, whereby line breaks are created based on syntax and semantics. rather than the traditional approach of speaker pauses, for more readable user-friendly subtitles.  No matter your need, we can work to build you a custom solution.
