About Us
Founded in 2006, Yap leverages a wealth of talent in the art and science of speech recognition, to create a bulletproof foundation that can augment diverse services, from academic and commercial to government deployments. Our team received wide acclaim for our early work in curbing texting while driving, when Yap was selected as a finalist in Silicon Valley's first ever TechCrunch event, often called the "American Idol" of the technology industry, then was honored as North Carolina's Early Stage Company of the Year in 2007. Most recently we earned the VMA Innovation Award, a distinction given annually by the leading wireless operators in Europe.
Our fully automated speech-to-text platform can enhance a wide array of third party applications or services, such as analytics, conferencing, messaging, search, translation or voicemail. In the telecommunications sector, voice-driven capabilities offer end users a more natural way of interacting with their handsets, and are proven to deliver service providers higher ARPU from increased voice and data usage.
Yap's staff members maintain a unique combination of multi-disciplinary skills from a wide variety of business and technical experiences. While we are humbled and thankful for the awards received for our past efforts, we know that this recognition is fleeting and must be continually earned. At Yap, we remain focused on helping you develop and deploy killer applications or services that optimize satisfaction and value for your end users.
