*This is a machine-translated text of the original article.
Epicbase Inc has become independent from Media Do Holdings Co Ltd. The company announced that it had raised a total of 85 million yen from Media Do Holdings, VC firm Coral Capital Inc, private investors Hirofumi Miki, SmartHR representative director Shoji Miyata, and vice-president Kensuke Naito.
‘Smart Shoki’ by Epicbase is an automated speech-to-text service that recognizes speech picked up by a microphone and converts it into text.
This is a new business service that Tokushima prefecture (on Shikoku island in the south of Japan) and Media Do launched in June 2018 after conducting demonstration tests over a period of 6 months from October 2017. The service was launched in June 2018, and a cumulative total of more than 800 companies have used the service, including trial use.
This service was established to increase the independence of management, accelerate business decision-making, and promote further investment of management resources.
Going forward, while building a cooperative relationship with MediaDo, the company aims to increase the convenience of its services as an independent company.
