We are proud to announce that VoiceInteraction became one of the Wowza’s Tech Alliance Captioning Partners.

Internet invaded our lives to such an extent that words like e-commerce, e-learning, e-work, or e-government became familiar to most of us. Due to the flourishing number of tablets, smart TVs, smartphones and other devices at people’s disposal, as well as places where mobile broadband internet connections are available to users, the television watching experience is no different from the rest of human activities already affected by the widespread use of the Internet. On the other hand, the community’s increasing awareness about the need for policies to ensure everyone equal opportunities and access to information and knowledge led to the creation of rules imposing requirements on TV broadcasters to provide their contents in alternative ways, such as sign language and/or subtitling. Hence, recreating the TV watching experience online can no longer be sought through simple delivery of primary contents over the internet. Subtitling must be taken into account, too.

With 19,000 customers in more than 170 countries, Wowza™ streaming technology sets the standard for functionality, reliability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness for media streaming to any screen—across a vast array of industries and streaming types.

AUDIMUS.MEDIA is a fully automatic subtitling system  that transcribes speech from live video feeds in real time. We are proud to announce that VoiceInteraction is now a Wowza’s Tech Alliance Captioning Partner. Thanks to AUDIMUS.MEDIA’s full compliance with the Wowza Streaming Engine, it is now possible and easy to produce high-quality closed captions of live streams in real-time without ruining the customer finances.

Wowza Media Systems™ was founded in 2005 by David Stubenvoll and Charlie Good. Wowza™ started as a bootstrap start-up, focused on one goal—to simplify media streaming and make it better. The company has been at the forefront of streaming media technologies. Wowza Media Server has been successfully used for many years to deliver multiple streaming formats.

VoiceInteraction was created in 2008 as a technological spin-off from the INESC-ID, Lisbon, providing cutting-edge  speaker-independent speech recognition technology that paved the way for the development of a fully-automatic live subtitling system for the broadcasting and media production industries, in addition to broadcast monitoring solutions devoted to automate workflows of clipping service providers.
