Cedat85 launches smart voice recognition technology
by
CEDAT85 HAS ANNOUNCED the
launch of Cabolo, a smart voice
recognition technology and
ecosystem that records and
transcribes in real-time. This
will be distributed exclusively
by Lexacom in the UK.
Cabolo is a portable,
standalone unit that doesn’t
require an internet connection.
It was developed in response to
a growing need for a completely
private, secure and ‘off grid’
device that provides an
alternative to existing cloudbased
transcription solutions.
Cedat85 says the technology
has been tried and tested with
numerous companies –
including North Warwickshire
Borough Council in the UK and
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA),
Intesa Sanpaolo and Illy in Italy.
Cabolo can be customised to
transcribe multiple languages,
with specialised vocabularies
for various sectors or accents.
It can also plug in to existing
conference systems, provide
live subtitles and can be used
for board meetings, interviews,
training and more.
Enrico Giannotti, managing
director at Cedat85,
commented, “We know
businesses have a real need to
make meetings more
productive, secure and
inclusive, which is why we’re
excited to launch Cabolo in the
UK market. While there are many
solutions for live transcriptions
in the market, Cabolo’s solution
and combination of benefi ts to
organisations is truly unique.”
