transcosmos revamps South Korean version of “transpeech,” its speech recognition solution

Published

on

Blending various AI solutions, enhances agents and supervisors’ productivity

TOKYO, March 28, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — transcosmos hereby announces that the company has revamped the South Korean version of its speech recognition solution, “transpeech.” Embedded in call systems, transpeech converts voice-based customer inquiries into text in real time using an STT (Speech to Text) engine, and then analyzes and extracts necessary data using TA (Text Analysis). Integrating with various AI-powered solutions such as trans-AI Assist—a speech-to-text summarizer—, trans-AI QA—an auto-service quality evaluation solution, and trans-AI Analytics—a VoC (Voice of the Customer) analytics solution, the upgraded transpeech will elevate the operational efficiency.

With a range of text-based assistant features, transpeech provides agents and supervisors with adequate advice rapidly, thereby improving customer experience, shortening call handling times, and ultimately boosting productivity of both agents and supervisors.

transpeech focuses on three key features that boost operational efficiency at contact centers, namely, a real-time customer service guide, essential information monitoring, and VoC analytics.

Real-time customer service guide 
The feature converts voice-based customer inquiries into text in real time, and automatically presents a customer service guidance that is appropriate for the occasion. The feature identifies pre-registered keywords from customer’s remarks in real-time, and auto-processes and sends a link to a corresponding agent. Then the agent can provide an appropriate answer to the customer just by clicking the link.

Essential information monitoring 
The feature presents an essential information checklist to agents, and auto-checks whether all information is covered during customer inquiries. If any essential information is not covered, agents cannot click the “monitoring complete” button, thus making sure that all information is provided. In addition, supervisors can confirm whether agents have informed all essential information to customers using this monitoring feature.

VOC analytics
Designed for supervisors, the feature extracts call keywords from inquiry voice data, and analyzes the data by date and by types of keywords, enabling supervisors to check and compare changes and volume of call keywords in a given timeframe. In addition, it comes with customizable features such as detecting inappropriate agent responses and forbidden phrases, as well as auto-service quality assessments.

With a range of text-based assistant features, transpeech provides agents and supervisors with adequate advice rapidly, thereby improving customer experience, shortening call handling times, and ultimately boosting productivity of both agents and supervisors. transpeech allows supervisors to shift time spent for monitoring and analysis and focus more on other main tasks, which can result in greater service quality.

Utilizing transpeech in South Korea, transcosmos will help clients enhance their service competitiveness. At the same time, the company will continue to develop new AI solutions that meet the needs of clients to help companies run their business efficiently.

NANJING, China, Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Scage Future (“Scage Future” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: SCAG), a provider of new energy and zero-emission heavy-duty commercial vehicles and e-fuel solutions, today announced the effective date and new CUSIP number for the previously announced change in the ratio of its American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) to its ordinary shares (the “ADS Ratio”), from the current ADS Ratio of one (1) ADS to one (1) ordinary share to a new ADS Ratio of one (1) ADS to fifteen (15) ordinary shares (the “ADS Ratio Change”). The ADS Ratio Change will be effective on October 27, 2026 (the “Effective Date”).

For Scage Future’s ADS holders, the change in the ADS Ratio will have the same effect as a one-for-fifteen reverse ADS split. On the Effective Date, holders of ADSs will be entitled to receive one (1) new ADS for every fifteen (15) existing ADSs then held, and the exchange will occur automatically, with the then-held ADSs being cancelled and new ADSs being issued by Citibank, N.A., as the depositary bank for the Company’s ADS program (the “Depositary Bank”). Holders of ADSs will not be required to take any action in connection with the ADS Ratio Change.

No fractional new ADSs will be issued in connection with the change in the ADS Ratio. Instead, fractional entitlements to new ADSs will be aggregated and sold by the Depositary Bank, and the net cash proceeds from the sale of the fractional ADS entitlements (after deduction of fees, taxes and expenses) will be distributed to the applicable ADS holders by the Depositary Bank.

The change in the ADS Ratio will have no impact on Scage Future’s underlying ordinary shares, and no ordinary shares will be issued or cancelled in connection with the change in the ADS Ratio. Scage Future’s ADSs will continue to be traded on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “SCAG.” In connection with the ADS Ratio Change, the CUSIP number for the ADSs will change from 80590A105 to a new CUSIP number of 80590A204, effective as of the Effective Date.

As a result of the change in the ADS Ratio, the ADS trading price is expected to increase proportionally, although the Company can give no assurance that the ADS trading price after the change in the ADS Ratio will be equal to or greater than fifteen times the ADS trading price before the change.
