MAIDENHEAD, England,
March 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
SDL (LSE: SDL), a leader in global content management,
translation and digital experience, and Nuance Communications today
announced a strategic partnership to jointly develop Artificial
Intelligence (AI)-powered solutions that enable customers to
convert, translate and gain insight from large volumes of voice and
video content.
As Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to disrupt our
generation, SDL is ahead in this field of building AI applications
through its innovations and patents in Natural Language Processing
(NLP) for Machine Translation (MT). The partnership with Nuance, a
pioneer and leader in Conversational Artificial Intelligence,
launches with a co-developed solution based on SDL Enterprise
Translation Server (ETS) and Nuance Automated Speech Recognition
(ASR).
Combining SDL's patented AI technology - which analyses and
translates large volumes of content - and Nuance's Conversational
AI, the solution helps organizations quickly convert audio and
video content into text for SDL ETS to securely translate with its
state-of-the-art Neural Machine Translation (NMT) capabilities.
The solution also enables organizations to extract institutional
knowledge from audio-based data for multiple purposes and
applications, including eDiscovery, eLearning, Corporate Governance
and security surveillance, while also helping to manage the growing
use of video in enterprise training, marketing and
communications.
"Governments and enterprises are overwhelmed with foreign
language content, and gaining intelligence can be much like finding
a needle in a haystack," said Thomas
Labarthe, Chief Revenue Officer, SDL. "Our partnership with
Nuance marks an exciting milestone as together we will develop
tools like these to help brands gain insight - at a scale that's
never been possible before."
"Nuance leverages deep neural networks and machine learning
algorithms to ensure optimal transcription accuracy," said
Robert Weideman, Executive Vice
President and General Manager, Enterprise Division, Nuance.
"Together with SDL we are enabling enterprises to speak and
understand multiple languages through the power of AI."
Designed for governments and enterprises that need to rapidly
translate large volumes of foreign language content, the
integration will also help organizations comply with industry
regulations - including the upcoming European General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR).
SDL and Nuance will host a webinar on March 29th, 2018, where experts will
discuss how machine translation optimizes eDiscovery and the
Corporate Governance processes to reduce time and improve the
accuracy of search and analysis across multilingual content. To
