RIYADH, Saudi Arabia /PRNewswire/ — Maqsam, a leading MENA-based cloud communications company, has achieved a significant global breakthrough in the field of Arabic automatic speech recognition (ASR); also known as Speech-To-Text (STT). The company’s new language models outpace Google, Microsoft, and other regional competitors in the race to accurately transcribe the various dialects of the Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) region.
Founded by Fouad Jeryes and Sinan Taifour along with long-time industry professionals, Maqsam is a company built on a foundation of technical excellence. The team has a proven track record of developing award-winning technology solutions and serves 1000+ customers in 15 markets today and is once again poised to disrupt the market by opening the gates of Generative Artificial Intelligence in their native language.
Arabic is a language with 422 million native speakers and about 1.5 billion total speakers worldwide, but is one of the most neglected languages when it comes to native deep technological offerings as a low resource language. In an era of conversational intelligence innovations such as ChatGPT, Maqsam’s ASR / STT technology is designed to accurately transcribe the challenging dialects of everyday spoken language in the MENA region in classical Arabic with different orthographies, phonetics and phonological variations, all while providing a reliable and cost-effective solution for businesses looking to automate their customer engagement operations. Unlocking valuable assets between the lines, Maqsam’s technology will allow businesses to transform their normal customer engagement channels into profitable ones.
“Many years of experience have reached where we are today and yet this is the tip of the iceberg. Our competitive advantage lies within our proud indigenous and competent regional team of engineers, task force in Machine Learning as well as teachers who are renowned world leaders. in this particular discipline. Our goal is one where we help enable the MENA region to release its true potential within a global revolution, rather than an afterthought once again.” said Sinan Taifour, CEO of Maqsam during their live showcase at the LEAP technology expo in Riyadh.
