Pictron Audio Gateway is fully integrated into the Pictron Media Gateway Suite.  It automatically analyzes the audio track of a video to segment audio signals into speech and non-speech elements. Using advanced speaker-independent speech recognition technology, Audio Gateway converts audio signals into a searchable text transcript, in real-time, without the tedious training process for individual speakers; thus, eliminating the labor-intensive manual process of annotating text and later synchronizing it with the digitized video. Audio Gateway can further identify individual speakers and associate recognized text to a particular speaker.  This powerful tool significantly enhances corporate communication and training, distance learning, media archive and the Internet experience.
