Magnolia Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Tokyo) will begin sales of an updated version of "Sakutto Video & Audio AI Transcription," equipped with a new AI engine that enables high-speed offline transcription even on non-GPU PCs, starting April 30.

This product utilizes speech recognition AI to accurately convert video and audio data into text. Its key feature is that it operates in a local environment without using the cloud, ensuring peace of mind for highly confidential data.

Version Update Overview

This version update includes a new AI engine that can process data at high speed even on general notebook PCs without a GPU, in addition to the conventional engine. Previously, there was a significant difference in processing speed depending on the presence or absence 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 companies as they are

Many government agencies and companies 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 for free.
