GoVivace provides speech recognition, speaker identification, and natural language processing technology as a cloud based or on premise offering that easily integrates with smart phones, tablets and web applications. The speaker identification technology of the company is used not only in applications involving national security, but also for financial fraud prevention, and two factor biometric authentications.

The software and solutions conferred by GoVivace is used for speech to text, speaker identification, language or gender identification, and codifying clinical content. "Our professional services team provides grammar and feature customization to enable the technology to be deployed in a variety of vertical market applications," delineates Nagendra Goel, CEO at GoVivace. He further explains with an example, "If a customer needs to build an app in travel domain, then we would customize the vocabulary of the speech recognition engine to specifically support cities and airports and hotels and cruise lines." It is an enigma for many organizations to pull together such commendable speech and language processing capabilities, and GoVivace cost effectively fills that gap for organizations that do not have speech and language technology expertise.

The Imminent Years
GoVivace's combined speech and speaker identification is driving the new world of humaized user interfaces. Their web designed technology has allowed the company to make rapid deployments for mobile applications in diverse environments with very little customization. Speech technology speeds the capture of information and can be used to complete forms and gather information in a more conversational manner. Transforming conversations and dictations into meaningful, actionable, and analytical information is the goal. GoVivace plans to expand this technology to identify speaker emotions to discern how a person is feeling or expressing themselves.
