Compliance Logging and Broadcast Monitoring Solutions<\/h3>\n

Broadcasters\u00a0are required to retain copies of their broadcasts for some period of time to provide evidence of compliance with legal (and other) obligations.\u00a0Before\u00a0digital technology has revolutionized the way we\u00a0communicate, work, buy, sell and spend our time, compliance logging was carried out through long-play\u00a0video-cassette decks. As the number of free-to-air and subscription broadcaster channels increased, such an approach fast proved unreliable and unpractical. Digital compliance logging and broadcast monitoring solutions came up into the market to address this challenge providing, at the same time, enhanced logging features, such as audio and video descriptions that allow for content indexation at multiple levels of granularity. For example, through image processing tools, it is possible to automatically detect shot transitions; through the use of acoustic analysis tools, we can locate specific ads within the channels programming; or, even, voice recognition technology can recognize and produce time stamps for every word uttered in a given programme, making it possible for a user of a broadcast monitoring solution to locate all occurrences of a certain entity in the channels recordings.<\/p>\n

Media Monitoring System – Broadcast Edition<\/h3>\n

VoiceInteraction<\/em>\u00a0– Speech Processing Technologies, S.A.<\/em>\u00a0pioneered the use of speaker-independent voice recognition technology in real-time, live closed-captioning of broadcast contents. Its proprietary speech transcription technology — capable of transcribing speech from anyone speaking one of the supported languages,\u00a0performing faster than real-time and\u00a0with an impressive level of accuracy \u00a0— also allowed VoiceInteraction to emerge more recently in this market with one of the best-performing and, yet, affordable solutions for reliable compliance recording and broadcast monitoring: Media Monitoring System — Broadcast Edition (MMS)<\/em>.<\/p>\n

MMS is a fully-automatic, integrated solution for video recording, storage and retrieval, comprising real-time tools for automatic transcription, segmentation and topic indexing of broadcast (and webcast) contents.\u00a0The system\u00a0is installed at the client’s premises and\u00a0records multiple TV channels and radio stations (according to client needs and specifications) and stores that information for long periods of time (defined in accordance with the storage capacity of the client). Simultaneously, it processes the information — through proprietary technologies of\u00a0speech transcription, speaker turn detection, semantically-homogeneous content segmentation and ads detection — associated with each one of the monitored channels (online or offline, the client chooses which approach fits best its needs and processing capacity).<\/p>\n

The Broadcast Edition<\/em> of MMS incorporates a set of additional features especially created to accommodate the broadcasters’ information visualization and recording needs:<\/p>\n
