How it started at WIPO

Key Features

Languages

WIPO Speech-to-Text supports a wide range of languages for the transcription of content spoken in different linguistic contexts using dedicated models for:

  • Arabic
  • Chinese
  • English
  • French
  • Russian
  • Spanish

The tool also offers a multilingual model, which recognizes the different languages in case the speakers at a meeting switch between languages

Accuracy and Reliability

Powered by state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms, WIPO Speech-to-Text delivers accurate transcriptions. It recognizes and captures spoken content with high accuracy, even in the presence of various accents, languages, and background noise.

Secure and Confidential

At WIPO, data privacy and security are paramount. WIPO Speech-to-Text follows industry best practices to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of the transcribed content. Data remains protected throughout the transcription process.

Customization and Adaptation

WIPO Speech-to-Text adapts and customize the service to specific needs. It is possible to fine-tune the speech recognition models to improve accuracy for specific speakers, vocabulary, or domain-specific terminology, ensuring the most accurate transcriptions.

Searching & highlighting

A search feature finds specific keywords or phrases within the transcript and a highlighting feature shows the keywords as they are pronounced by the speaker.  

Users

WIPO Speech-to-Text is used at WIPO for most of its meetings, as well as in other intergovernmental organizations such as UNOG, WTO, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), etc.

WIPO welcomes requests to implement WIPO Speech-to-Text in intergovernmental entities that are dealing with large volumes of audio/video files.
