Published

on

DALLAS, Sept. 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Regardless of the size of the operation, all farms are affected by skyrocketing input prices, the volatile nature of global agriculture supply, and the deteriorating soil and water resources. During a historical period of market uncertainty, Augmenta offers a frictionless and affordable input optimization solution, through Augmenta Mantis and Augmenta LIVE VRA services. 

Augmenta Mantis, a computer vision-based ag tool, is easy to install in most equipment found in North America. Mantis combines state-of-the-art computer vision, artificial intelligence, and agronomic algorithms, and through LiveVra Services, it provides an average of 10% of savings on inputs. This has allowed customers to save on their input usage and secure or even increase their yield potential while enjoying the benefits of sustainable farming. 

“The Augmenta solution is really easy for the farmer to use, without any sort of prior special knowledge. We are empowering farmers to produce smarter with fewer inputs,” said Jim Evangelopoulos, Co-founder of Augmenta. 

In addition to the above, Augmenta users can benefit from the seamless integration into their existing systems, equipment, and farming practices to maximize efficiency. 

About Augmenta

Frustrated by the inefficiencies of traditional farming methods and the impracticalities of precision tools, Co-founders Dimitris Evangelopoulos and George Varvarelis combined their academic training in electronics with farming backgrounds to find a solution. They set up Augmenta in 2016 and set out to prove to the world that through optimization, not only is better sustainability possible, but farmers, irrespective of the size of their operations, can reap substantial financial rewards.

The Augmenta System – the world’s first real-time, camera and AI-based VRA hardware platform. It is easy to install on all of the most common farming equipment and supports a full range of operational analytics, reports, and fleet management tools through the Augmenta Web Portal.

The creation of the Augmenta System is the manifestation of years of hard work, exhaustive testing, and sustained effort undertaken so as to make that aspiration a reality. It has been awarded EIMA’s First Prize for ‘Technological Innovation’ and the ‘Outstanding Agricultural Aspects Blue Award’ for 2020/21.

So far, Augmenta has raised more than $11m in venture capital funding to bring sustainable precision automation to farmers (including from big players like CNHi). Commercially available in Europe, CIS, North, and South America, and Australia. 

The Augmenta Team currently comprises +50 members, all with high-level academic backgrounds and specializations with the commercial and technical know-how to make innovative agricultural ideas a reality. Their mission is to ‘augment’ the capacity of arable land so as to help feed a growing world sustainably. Through the optimization of critical farming operations made possible by Augmenta’s technology, the chemical load in soils, input costs, and operational inefficiencies are reduced, while improving the quality of produce and profitability.

Gcore AI-powered Speech Recognition Service Sets New Speed and Scalability Standard for Broadcasters, VOD and Content Owners

Published

Powerful automated speech recognition service delivers cost-efficiency to content owners
LUXEMBOURG, March 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Gcore, the global edge AI, cloud, network, and security solutions provider, has today announced the public availability of its powerful Gcore Artificial Intelligence Automated Speech Recognition (AI ASR). It seamlessly integrates into Gcore workflows enabling broadcasters, video on demand (VOD), live streaming, and enterprise content owners to reach new global audiences, significantly enhancing the accessibility of content for those speaking different languages or with hearing impairments.

Existing automated speech recognition (ASR) services can be slow, expensive and place a significant resource burden on content creators and owners. For broadcasters, enterprises or content owners with live news, sports events or investor relations information that must reach customers quickly, speed is essential. Traditional subtitle generation can take hours or even days if multiple languages are involved, and often results in inaccuracies.
The best ASR models, tested and in one place
Unlike other ASR services, Gcore AI ASR is a managed cloud service, supporting 100+ languages, that allows customers to focus on fast subtitle generation for their content, without the need for selecting and fine-tuning artificial intelligence (AI) models. The Gcore team rigorously assesses newly released and updated ASR models, ensuring the best option is available through the pre-configured service. The managed service team supports customers with model selection and fine-tuning them to meet specific needs.
Fast and cost-effective subtitles
Gcore AI ASR is fast and cost-effective, generating subtitles for a one-hour video in under ten minutes, with accuracy levels matching or exceeding those of humans and typically achieving a 4%–5% word error rate. Open-source ASR models for specific languages or subject domains can be selected to enhance accuracy based on the content to be subtitled. This customisation is particularly useful for industry-specific terminology, or content featuring multiple spoken languages.
Alexey Petrovskikh, Head of Streaming Platform at Gcore, comments: “Subtitles are critical to reaching global audiences with content. Gcore’s AI speech recognition service—AI ASR—gives broadcasters, content owners and enterprises a cost-effective and accurate way to reach global audiences with fresh, accessible content. It is another step in our commitment to the continuous innovation of our solutions and edge infrastructure.”
