Blowing New Speech Technology Winds Into Sail Labs

September 4, 2014

We have been monitoring Sail Labs and they have been quiet on the news front for a long time. At the beginning of July, Sail Labs posted this press release: “Sail Labs Announces Availability Of Release Version 2013-2 And Media Mining Indexer 6.3.” The company is a leading provider of speech technology. Sail is an acronym for “speech artificial intelligence and language lab.” It is located in Vienna, Austria and has a strong commitment to open source.

The new upgrades improve the already popular media mining client and media mining server. They include new supported languages, API documentation, time range filter for search and retrieval of workflow data items, scheduling Web sites without a RSS feed, and support for new cloud features. Even longer are the product enhancements, which make search, ontology creation, and more treats for open source:

“Improve performance of Suggest Open Source Information item for Report view, by applying result paging

Show count of referenced and suggested Open Source Information item in chapter tree of reports”

It is great that Sail Labs is still creating quality speech technology products. Too bad they do not have the same presence as Nuance in the US.
