Delivering Insights from Foreign Media

The Raytheon BBN Multimedia Monitoring System (M³S) combines Raytheon BBN’s Broadcast and Web Monitoring Systems to give English speakers direct access to foreign language multimedia (web text and broadcast news) from a single unified desktop. The system’s browser-based interface allows skilled linguists and analysts to:

• Focus on the most important content
• Disseminate critical information quickly
• Monitor, translate, store, and search a wide variety of media across a range of languages
• Sift through vast collections of news content in other languages quickly and efficiently
• Save searches in watchlists that are automatically updated as the system finds new matches
• Manage the workflow efficiently from beginning to end—from data collection and processing, to automated triage and retrieval, to machine-assisted translation and support for human translation, to publication and dissemination

The result is that M³S users gain an enhanced, real-time understanding of the news, events, and responses around the world.

Languages for Broadcast Media

Note that our monitoring solutions do not replace the need for analysts and cannot predict outcomes or events. Instead, they are robust tools that collect, organize, triage and translate information to help analysts do their work more efficiently.

For Web Media, the M³S supports all of the above languages and many more.
