"Toruno" is a cloud service that automatically records the entirety of online meetings and webinars (1) audio, (2) transcribed text, and (3) the displayed screen. By using it in place of notes and memos, it greatly improves the efficiency of tasks such as reviewing daily meeting content, creating minutes, and sharing meeting information.

This time, the speech recognition API provided by "toruno" and "AmiVoice Cloud Platform" have collaborated to realize highly accurate real-time transcription of Japanese. By using the dictionary registration function, you can convert company and industry-specific terms into text with high accuracy.

We are very happy to be able to collaborate with AmiVoice Cloud Platform's speech recognition API as the speech recognition engine for our online meeting recording service "toruno." At the start of the project and during the development stage, we evaluated multiple speech recognition engines for Japanese and chose AmiVoice Cloud Platform due to its accuracy, speed, versatility, and support for specialization.

We look forward to your continued support as we work to further improve recognition accuracy and expand functionality, which will lead to stable service operation and increased end-user satisfaction.

[About toruno]


toruno is an online meeting recording and sharing service that is easy and intuitive to use. We solve problems that all business people have experienced firsthand, such as ``wanting to re-listen to something important'' and ``taking a long time to create minutes to share.''

The service is provided as a recording desktop application (recording app) that runs on Windows® and a web service for managing and viewing meetings recorded in the cloud.

When you want to record, you can start recording with as little as one click without any preparation. When viewing, you can check the audio, text of the remarks, and screen shots on a web page organized in chronological order. It is also possible to share the URL of the web screen itself, which is useful when those absent from the meeting can catch up on information.
