In addition to voice, live video, and location-based team communication (IoT), Buddycom also provides AI-based digital assistant services. It has also been introduced as a new communication tool to support the workplace in all kinds of industries, including railways, airlines, distribution, caregiving, and factories. The ‘speech-to-text’ function is very useful. It enables automatic transcription of the speech used in Buddycom.

AmiVoice, is a highly accurate speech recognition engine with No. 1 market share*, strong in Japanese and technical terms.

Buddycom’s ‘speech-to-text’ functionality has become even easier to use by connecting Buddycom to the ‘AmiVoice Cloud Platform’s’ speech recognition API.

In addition to improving the accuracy of Japanese recognition, it also improves the accuracy of recognition of technical terms, idiosyncratic phrases, and dialects. Punctuation and question marks are automatically added, and fillers such as ‘uh,’ ‘that,’ and ‘um’ are automatically removed. The result is more accurate and easier to understand writing. This means that words spoken in Buddycom will appear as more readable sentences than before. This makes team communication in the field using Buddycom smoother than ever.

To further improve speech recognition accuracy, Buddycom users will be able to select industry-specific engines such as medical and nursing. The addition of proper names such as product names, industry terms, and people’s names to the lexicon further strengthens the cooperation, with the goal of improving the recognition accuracy of words that are difficult to accurately convert to text with ordinary speech recognition engines.

Buddycom will continue to promote on-site DX in all industries and sectors with the ‘AmiVoice Cloud Platform’.

●Individual Tuning of the Speech Recognition Engine

Custom tuning is performed to improve accuracy for conversations that cannot be handled by word registration or industry-specific engines.
