Focusing on the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, iFLYREC enables the barrier-free communication between the Greater Bay Area and the Chinese Mainland with AI
English and Cantonese are the common languages used in Macao, while Chinese Mandarin is mainly used in the Chinese mainland. This shows different language habits in different regions. With the continual development of economy and culture, the communication and cooperation between Hong Kong, Macao and Chinese mainland has been further deepened, and barrier-free communication becomes a key bridge that enables a better understanding. As a well-known AI and voice enterprise in the Asia-Pacific Region, iFlytek has been dedicated to fostering multilingual barrier-free communication for many years.
As a benchmarking application of voice transcription and translation of iFlytek, iFLYREC APP has already attracted 55 million users. The APP supports transcription and translation services for Cantonese and more than ten other languages. During the National People’s Congress and Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference in 2023, iFLYREC APP was applied by media like Ta Kung Pao to record the conference highlights efficiently and generate scripts more quickly. At the same time, iFLYREC Subtitling can be applied to add AI subtitles to Cantonese videos instead of the labor-consuming manual subtitling and time-coding. Therefore, the news express becomes more efficient.
As a necessary screen translation service for top summits, iFLYREC Simultaneous Interpretation provides users with simultaneous interpretation services for 9 languages at the client end. Also, this function supports the compatibility with a variety of remote video conference software and the real-time bilingual subtitle translation in conference communication so that multilingual barrier-free communication can be realized during in-person conferences and teleconferencing. iFLYREC Simultaneous Interpretation has provided simultaneous translation services for Macao Polytechnic University, Fuhong Society of Macau, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and HKSTP.
