ServicesConsultingOur team of researchers brings together state-of-the-art expertise on most topics in human language technology, including automatic speech recognition (ASR), natural language parsing, dialog management, natural language generation, speech synthesis (TTS), multimodal architectures, information retrieval and knowledge management. Before joining ftw., our researchers have gathered experiences in industry and academic system development efforts ranging from telecom switches, voice-enabled platforms for e-commerce, to research prototypes on the most advanced topics in natural language research. Use our know-how and experience by putting us to work on your own ideas and challenges. Of course, when we engage in bilateral work, confidentiality is a top priority for us.Tutorials, Seminars, WorkshopsWe can organize training programs for you and your staff in a number of formats, drawing on our knowledge and extensive presentation experience from university lectures, company presentations, scientific talks etc. We have already held a tutorial on VoiceXML technology with over thirty registered participants from the Austrian telecoms industry.Feasibility StudiesLet's assume voice technology is not your core area of business. Still, you are considering to voice-enable one of your applications or products, maybe in e-commerce, e-government, CRM, or corporate intranet. But only if the technology is ready, works robustly, and offers attractive ROI. We can answer these questions for you, probably quicker and more reliably than you could when using your in-house resources. As a non-profit research group, you can also rely on us being neutral and objective.Product EvaluationsLet us take a look at the speech products you consider buying (chances are we have already evaluated them in the past). Or just tell us your requirements for the application you need, and we can prepare a market survey. |
