Neural Group Unveils Advanced Local ASR Technology for PCs

Neural Group, a leading tech company, has officially launched its innovative high-performance Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) technology designed to operate locally on personal computers. This new system is engineered to ensure secure, real-time transcription of voice data, making it a game-changer in the realms of efficiency and information security.

The technology processes all voice data on the PC itself, thus safeguarding sensitive information while simultaneously enhancing productivity. Notably, this local solution is integrated into the company's 1-on-1 support service, KizunaNavi, which aims to improve user experiences through cutting-edge technological advancements.

With its deep expertise in voice signal processing and transformer models, Neural Group has successfully developed a lightweight model that delivers high-precision speech recognition. Unlike traditional cloud-based ASRs that struggle with highly sensitive meetings or unstable network environments, this local system guarantees consistent performance. The current low availability of Japanese speech recognition models functioning on edge devices has made this release significant. Neural Group achieved a character error rate (CER) of approximately 7.76%, positioning its model on par with existing counterparts in edge environments. This level of accuracy allows for practical implementation, enabling users to leverage the service effectively.

Neural Group is committed to further refining this model by enhancing its weight and adding tailored dictionaries for specialized terminology. The company is focused on transforming various forms of voice information into actionable knowledge, ultimately contributing to the digital transformation (DX) initiatives and competitive edge for enterprises.
