- Description
- The U.S. Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG), International Broadcasting Bureau's (IBB) has a requirement subject to availability of funding for a Contractor to provide ?commercially available software to translate (1) Persian television and radio programs (broadcast by BBG entities) from Persian audio to English text, and/or (2) Arabic television and radio programs (broadcast by BBG entities) from Arabic audio to English text. The broadcasts chosen for translation will be mainly news programs and informational programs, such as roundtable discussions/debates. Maximum accuracy of the final English text is a critical factor. Our preferred minimum level of translation accuracy is 75 %. Timing is also a factor, but less important - i.e. real-time translation may be viewed as a positive factor, but time lags may be permissible, particularly if a time lag results in greater accuracy of the English text or less expensive software product." Please submit written inquiries for additional information and/or contract technical proposals to the Broadcasting Board of Governors, International Broadcasting Bureau, Office of Contracts, 330 C St., SW., Room 2521, Washington, DC 20237, email address: bdorfman@bbg.gov. Any written inquiries and/or contract proposals responding to this Public Notice may be submitted to the above-listed Mr. Dorfman at any time up to March 12, 2008, the expiration date of this Public Notice. This Notice is not a RFQ, RFP, or IFB.
