Yes, Please!\n\n\nBARCELONA, Spain, Jan. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --\n\n \n \n\n \nNews Summary: \nNew Webex Assistant for Webex Meetings turns meetings into a digital treasure trove. Webex Assistant is learning Spanish! We're showing a preview at Cisco Live in Barcelona. Continuing Cisco's commitment to security and data privacy, customers can now choose whether their Webex Teams data will be stored in Europe or the United States. New Cisco Webex Room USB is an entry-level video device offering smaller organizations collaboration without compromise. Would you like to have better, more engaged meetings? Today at Cisco Live Europe, Cisco announced innovations to do just that—using only your voice. We're introducing new AI-powered voice intelligence capabilities to Webex Meetings to help turn talk into action. The Cisco Webex Assistant for Webex Meetings is powered by technology from the recent Voicea acquisition, turning Webex meetings into a digital treasure trove.\n\"Voicea users have reported saving more than six hours per week per user with more actionable and efficient meetings – and we believe Webex users will experience similar results,\" said Sri Srinivasan, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Team Collaboration at Cisco. \"We're excited to bring this and other cognitive features to the 300 million users we already serve with Cisco Collaboration. This technology will fundamentally change how we are able to deliver massively personalized experiences and transform the way we work.\"\nWebex Assistant for Meetings becomes the first digital in-meeting assistant for the enterprise. With it, voice commands automate mundane meeting tasks (like taking notes, transcribing and follow-up) so users can focus on the meeting. Not only can you see closed captioning and instantly transcribe what is said, you can also tell Webex what points to highlight. The recorded transcripts become searchable—not just within the meeting, but across meetings. It also creates action items, so no one forgets who committed to do what. And, speaker labeling makes sure you know who is saying what during the meeting. In addition, a host of post-meeting features enable easy editing and sharing of all the meeting assets.
