VAIS and Vbee are the two pioneering digital platforms in Vietnam using artificial intelligence to convert speech to text and vice versa, said Deputy Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Thanh Hung.

The VAIS is able to recognize various Vietnamese accents from all northern, central and southern regions with an accuracy rate of up to 95% and immediately produce results at an exceptional speed, Hung said. He added that it can still convert speech to text effectively in a noisy environment or from a long distance. VAIS has been used by many governmental organizations and press agencies for the past year.

Meanwhile, Vbee converts written texts into spoken words with emotions, he continued, it can predict the way a person reads a word, or abbreviations and specific words in the Vietnamese language that no other platform can offer.

The two platforms are available at https://vais.vn/ and https://www.vbee.vn./.
