Session: Speech Recognition Technology: Speech-to-Text
“Reduce Your Speech Transcription Costs by 90%”
Tom Spencer, Senior Manager, Product Marketing, Achronix

Deep neural networks (DNNs), a subset of machine learning (ML), provide a foundation for automating conversational artificial intelligence (CAI) applications. FPGAs provide hardware acceleration enabling high-density and low latency CAI. Achronix offers an ML-optimized architecture in its Speedster7t family of FPGAs. Myrtle.ai specializes in ML inferencing solutions for FPGAs. In this presentation, we will provide an overview of CAI, data center use-cases, describe the traditional compute model and its limitations and show how the Myrtle.ai ML compute engine integrated into the Achronix FPGA can lead to 90% cost reductions for speech transcription.
