Hi Rychard,

I understand that you’re the CIO at Kfcf and the best person to talk to 
about an exciting idea you might be interested in.

I’m referring to cutting-edge transcription technology that would help your 
production and captioning team produce faster results and decrease the cost 
and time of delivery.

How? By fusing artificial and human intelligence to provide 99.9% accuracy 
at a rate 10 times faster than the industry standard.

Thanks everyone. I guess there is really not the software available but 
rather to use transcription services. I am wondering, for example, what 
Democracy Now uses to transcribe interviews or NPR - do they also use 
transcription services?

Peace. Heather
