DESCRIPTION

NSC is the developer of the NSC SpeechBlade(TM) Server - a high performance product for telephony speech communication applications that provides high density speech recognition engines with simple architecture. NSC's unique product approach allows a CPU-free, high density product with simple system architecture - enabling easy integration of the product in existing platforms, without requiring expensive upgrades or architectural changes. Additionally, the company developed Snipp.TV, a multimedia search engine designed for search within online multimedia files.

TECHNOLOGY

NSC has developed innovative proprietary speech-recognition technology, which provides a unique proposition to the market.

NSC's most unique and innovative characteristic is the ability to provide a server-based, multi engine, speech product that is deployed on a dedicated PCI blade.

The NSC SpeechBlade(TM) platform supports the required memory and processing resources for the speech recognition task, which is normally run on a PC platform and consumes valuable CPU and memory resources.

This approach enables NSC to support large-scale deployments with high density, as well as to embed the product into small-scale, existing systems with limited resources such as voicemail and PBX.

NSC's unique technology enables customers to have speech recognition capabilities without the need to upgrade existing systems with additional expensive hardware.
