CLOSED PROCUREMENT next AUG 24

Alaska's statewide speech-to-text contract

Alaska is soliciting one statewide contract to convert speech, live or recorded, into written text for general, medical and legal records. The notice says every state governmental entity may use the resulting contract, naming the Legislative Branch, the Court System, the University of Alaska, boards and commissions, cities, boroughs, school districts and federally recognized tribes. The public notice does not use the terms artificial intelligence, machine learning or automated speech recognition.
