Our Expertise in Speech Recognition Services
What are Cognitive Services
Cognitive Services are collection of machine learning algorithms hosted over cloud that solve problems related to Artificial Intelligence. One of the most exciting parts of cognitive services is Speech recognition. Popular services provide APIs enabling us to add speech recognition capabilities to our application. This simply converts voice/audio into written text that aids quick understanding of content.
Speech recognition services have a plethora of professional and casual uses. Some of the use cases includes: voice control over apps, devices and accessories, transcriptions of meeting notes and conference calls in real-time and automated classification of phone calls.

Watson Cognitive Services
Better Accuracy
Generates accurate transcriptions by applying grammar, language structure and composition guidelines to audio signals.
Speaker Identification
IBM Watson Text to Speech API is Capable of identifying and registering more than one speaker with accuracy and confidence.
Custom Model support
For improved accuracy the API can be customized for the preferred language and content such as names of individuals, sensitive subjects or product names.
Real-time conversation
IBM Watson Speech to Text provides meaningful analytics by transcribing and analyzing audio from a microphone in real-time to pre-recorded files.
support for multiple languages
The IBM Watson Speech to Text Service with its speech recognition capabilities automatically transcribes Arabic, English, Spanish, French, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, and Mandarin speech into text.
multiple audio formats supported
Identifies and transcribes discussions with precision, even if the audio quality is low. Supports multiple audio formats (.mp3, .mpeg, .wav, .flac, or .opus) and programming interfaces (HTTP REST, Asynchronous HTTP, Websocket)
context and custom words support
Watson Natural Language Understanding identifies and analyzes text to drive meta-data from content such as keywords, concepts, categories, entities, semantic roles and relations.
For more personalized services, following three Watson Cognitive Services API’s can be used:
IBM WATSON PERSONALITY INSIGHTS
Predicts the needs, values and personality characteristics of an individual, by extracting information from their digital communications, social media and written text.
ibm watson tone analyzer
Detects three types of language tones, using linguistic analysis from text: social tendencies, emotional state and language style.
ibm watson emotion analysis
A fraction of the Alchemy Language API, is useful in measuring the emotions of an individual by analysing his or her writing.
azure cognitive services
real-time conversation
Azure Cognitive Services can be customized to turn on and recognize audio coming from a microphone or any other real-time audio source, and even audio from within a file.
multiple language support
Azure Speech to Text recognizes and transcribes audio in a number of languages in interactive and dictation modes.
multi-mode conversation & dictation
Azure Custom Speech Service supports three modes of recognition: dictation, conversation and interactive. Its recognition mode adjusts speech recognition based on how the users are likely to speak. Depending on their need, users can select the appropriate recognition mode.
bing cognitive services
Azure Cognitive Services, with a single API call enables users to search carefully and systematically billions of images, videos, webpages and news.
google cloud speech
Wide Array of Languages Supported
Google Cloud Speech API is supportive of a global user base as the API is capable of recognizing over 110 languages and variants.
Real-time Conversation Support using gRPC
Multiple Audio Formats Supported
Google speech to text transcribes audio input from pre-recorded to real-times sources and supports multiple audio encodings such as FLAC, PCMU, Linear-16 and AMR.
Google Speech
Easy to use, Google Cloud Speech API applies powerful neural network models to convert audio to text. Google Cloud Speech API facilitates integration of Google speech recognition into developer applications. Developers can send audio and receive transcription in text from the Google Cloud Speech API service.
Good Accuracy Google speech to text uses advanced neural network algorithms for speech recognition. Users should expect enhanced accuracy as Google Speech Recognition technology advances. Developers can also benefit from Google Natural Language Processing that carries out entity analysis, sentiment analysis, syntax analysis and content classification.
Our Findings
noisy background or bad audio quality
For improved Accuracy of the results, the quality of the environment has to be monitored such as the placement of the recording device, phone for in-calls and acoustics of the room. The API is sensitive to noisy background and bad quality audio.
speech overlap during conversation
With people speaking at the same time, it becomes difficult to recognize and transcribe speech.
context of conversation
The API transcribes audio as it recognizes it, causing spoken words to lose context.
accent support
Limited capabilities in drawing classification of non-native speakers.

Technologies We Love
WHAT CLIENTS SAY ABOUT US
We were extraordinarily pleased with the functionality and depth of understanding that Folio3's solution exhibited after a relatively brief but incisive, project kickoff meeting. Folio3 "gets it" from the start, relieving us from tedious development discussions drawn out over a long period of time.
Anne Thys
VP Logistics, Sundia Corporation
Folio3 has developed our award winning cross platform app on the Sencha Touch framework and we are very happy with the implementation and the capabilities of the product.
Idrees Shah
Project Consultant, Public Authority for Consumer Protection, Government of Oman
Twinstrata has partnered with Folio3 for several years since the very early days of our company. We have been able to offload a significant portion of our development effort to their team. They have been reliable and responsive to our needs.
Mark Aldred
Director, Product Development, TwinStrata
The Folio3 team has consistently exceeded our expectations. It felt as if we were working with an onshore team. It was their ability to understand our needs and keep us engaged throughout the entire process that has resulted in an exceptional product and a valued partner
