EEG Video has two nominations in the upcoming 2020 Streaming Media Readers’ Choice Awards.
The dual recognition is in the Awards’ Closed Captioning Solution category, where EEG’s iCap Falcon and EEG’s Lexi Automatic Captioning Service are nominees.
EEG remains committed to “Captioning Innovation.” We’re proud to provide the most advanced closed captioning solutions for connecting audiences to broadcasters, government, non-profit, education, corporate, and other streaming content creators.
Voting is open now until October 8th. Held annually by Streaming Media since 2007, this year’s Readers’ Choice Awards features 220 nominees across 28 categories.
And in greater detail, the nominees are…
iCap Falcon
iCap Falcon is a cloud-hosted service that adds closed captions in real-time to live RTMP or RTMPS streams. Falcon replaces traditional hardware encoders for direct-to-web live streaming workflows. The most valuable component of Falcon, however, is its interoperability; this solution is not bound to a single player or platform. Compatible with all major live streaming platforms, Falcon empowers companies to caption events, meetings, and live streams. To generate captions, Falcon can be used with either a professional human captioner or Lexi, EEG's automatic captioning service.
Lexi
Lexi produces real-time captions in English, Spanish and French, at more than 90% accuracy. Released in 2017, Lexi uses Automatic Speech Recognition technology to add accessibility to VOD and live content. Lexi's Topic Model feature recognizes topics, immerses itself in distinctive vocabulary, and observes context by absorbing relevant web data unique to each implementation.
All voters will be entered into a drawing to win a HuddleCamHD Pro IP NDI webcam or a Samsung 43-inch Class Crystal UHD TU-8000 Series - 4K UHD HDR Smart TV with Alexa Built-in.
Winners will be announced on Streaming Media and in the November/December issue of Streaming Media magazine.
