Magnolia Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Tokyo) will begin selling an updated version of "Sakutto Video & Audio AI Transcription" on April 30, equipped with a new AI engine that enables high-speed offline transcription even on PCs without GPUs.
This product utilizes speech recognition AI to accurately convert video and audio data into text. A key feature is its ability to operate in a local environment without using the cloud, ensuring peace of mind when handling highly confidential data.
Version Update Overview
This version update includes a new AI engine that allows for high-speed processing even on general notebook PCs without GPUs, in addition to the conventional engine. Previously, there was a significant difference in processing speed depending on the presence of a GPU, but this update has achieved dramatic speed improvements even in CPU environments.
### 60-minute Video (MP4) Processing Time Verification Results
While the conventional version took 148 minutes on a Corei5-10210U (1.6GHz, 2019) and 42 minutes on an Intel Corei5-13500 (2.5GHz, 2023), the results are now as follows:
Intel Corei5-10210U (1.6GHz): 2 minutes 34 seconds
Intel Corei5-13500 (2.5GHz): 1 minute 1 second
Utilize Existing PCs in Government Agencies and Corporations as They Are
Many government agencies and corporations widely use notebook PCs without GPUs due to cost considerations.
Even slightly older notebook PCs can perform transcription sufficiently fast.
Free Update
Customers who have purchased the product previously can update online free of charge.
