Nexiwave.com and UbiCast Partner to Offer Next-Generation Deep Audio Search

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Nexiwave.com and UbiCast Partner to Offer Next-Generation Deep Audio Search

--Nexiwave.com's Speech Indexing Technology, Accelerated by NVIDIA GPUs and CUDA, Will Enable Fast, Cost-Effective Audio Search on Large Volumes of Multimedia Content--

Boston, MA -- December 2, 2010 -- Nexiwave.com, the speech indexing company, today announced a strategic partnership with UbiCast, a leading webcast equipment and hosting provider. Through the partnership, UbiCast will become the first company to offer deep audio search as a standard, cost-effective feature to customers.

Deep audio search is the ability to search for and locate - with a high degree of accuracy - a spoken word or phrase in media assets such as webcasts, videos and conference calls. With this new feature, consumers will be able to easily search and jump to exact points of interest.

Florent Thiery, CTO of UbiCast, commented: "UbiCast customers produce large amounts of high-value content, but finding and retrieving archived information has been a challenge. Until now, rich spoken content has not been searchable on a broad scale because it was simply too expensive to process. Searches have been limited to metadata such as titles and dates. The new Nexiwave.com technology, which is accelerated by GPUs, is making ubiquitous processing cost-justifiable for the first time ever."

"Information does not exist if it cannot be found," said Benjamin Jiang, CEO of Nexiwave.com. "Our mission is to unlock and discover the vast amount of spoken content that exists on the web and in media assets."

Background
The amount of speech content that could potentially be indexed and searched is huge. For example, there are hundreds of millions of podcasts on the web, with 24 hours of video uploaded to YouTube every minute. Conference call companies carry over a billion minutes of calls per month. The objective of speech indexing is to enable fast, cost-effective and accurate extraction of spoken information from archived audio and video content. Through the use of advanced technologies and hardware, the Nexiwave.com solution achieves as much as a 70X speedup over current solutions, reducing costs by as much as 85%.

About UbiCast: UbiCast is a leading provider of automated rich media capture products, including EasyCast, a solution for creating and sharing professional video webcasts, and ForuMedia, a solution for one-push online publishing. For more information, contact info@ubicast.eu or visit www.ubicast.eu.

About Nexiwave.com: Nexiwave.com is the first commercial GPU-accelerated speech indexing service provider. The company's services include audio search, speech-to-text output for speech analytics, automated subtitles, speaker segmentation and transcription time stamping. Nexiwave 2.0, accelerated by NVIDIA GPUs and CUDA, was released in June 2010 and is in production. Nexiwave.com offers SaaS (software as a service) and cloud computing solutions as well as software licenses. Nexiwave.com is an active user of the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) environment and is planning to incorporate the newly-announced Amazon EC2 Cluster GPU Instances into its services.

Nexiwave 2.5: Speaker Identiifcation

A quick announcement is the introduction is Nexiwave 2.5. We introduced a nice feature called Speaker Identification. Nexiwave automatically recognizes unique speakers in your audio files. Nexiwave can also recognize speakers across your audio files.

For more details, please check the "querySpeakEvents" and "listSpeakers" functions in our API documentation.

nexiwave featured in NVIDIA's CUDA Review

nexiwave's CUDA based Speech Indexing solution is featured in NVIDIA's latest CUDA Review. To recap, with a total rewrite of acoustic scoring, we moved more than 75% of computation into CUDA 3.0. Our further tuning achieved more than 75 times speedup.

Since the release of CUDA based solution into our production environment, we have been thinking really hard on both technical front, as well as on marketing directions. On the technical side, we are quite interested in moving the remaining computing cycles into CUDA hardware. However, as I explained in my other post, we realized that speed is just one side of the benefit. The very nature of massive computing power, as well as massive memory available, has made certain carefully crafted algorithm obsolete. More things are certainly cooking in nexiwave. More news to come on this front soon.

The whole CUDA Review can be found here:

We are featured on GPGPU.org

The folks at GPGPU.org has been nice enough to feature us on their frontpage (so far, at least): http://gpgpu.org

A big thank-you from nexiwave!

Annoucing GPU Powered nexiwave 2.0

We are proudly announcing that nexiwave has completed the GPU component of nexiwave's Speech Indexing service. nexiwave is gradually migrated its decoding clusters to a GPU centric cluster, due to the great cost-saving effect.

This is after over six months of planning, coding and testing. The speed improvement is nearly 75% relative to previous speed.

Automatic Media Uploader is now available

We have published a tool called "Automatic Media Uploader". The tool is quite straightforward, we think. It simply:

• monitors a local dictionary every 10 minutes.
  
• uploads any media files found in the directory (if they have not been uploaded yet.

It is still beta. It can be downloaded from:
