Help IBM prioritize your ideas and requests
The IBM team may need your help to refine the ideas so they may ask for more information or feedback. The offering manager team will then decide if they can begin working on your idea. If they can start during the next development cycle, they will put the idea on the priority list. Each team at IBM works on a different schedule, where some ideas can be implemented right away, others may be placed on a different schedule.
Receive notification on the decision
Some ideas can be implemented at IBM, while others may not fit within the development plans for the product. In either case, the team will let you know as soon as possible. In some cases, we may be able to find alternatives for ideas which cannot be implemented in a reasonable time.

35%-50% of the entire Europen market can be adressed by German language. Not all people know, that German langauage is not only used in Germany, bus in : Austria, Switzerland, partly Polen, Netherland, Hungaria, Slowakia, Tscheck Republic, Solvenia etc. .. in all these countries we have for exampe call and service center Watson opportunities with Speech... but we can not deliver ... we loose against Microsoft . ... we looose against Nuance... because IBM has no STT in German language. This must change NOW :-)
Who would benefit from this IDEA? | we have a multi million pipeline of deals where we could sell Watson STT in German language... multiple IBM clients and IBM teams want it !!!! |

Watson Speech to Text will provide support for German Broadband model in Q3 2018. This will include support for our Customization services. We do not have a plan to provide support for German Narrowband model yet in our roadmap.

What is the point of having this Idea Portal when IBM official can, without a reason, simply ignore the most wanted feature with more than 600 votes and 100 comments?

German STT would be very important for our products, too. Please make it available.

Germany is one of the G7 and US allies, but none of the Arab countries or Korea has this political and economic weight. Why can WATSON understand Arabic and Korean but unfortunately not German? Here is a huge potential left. Please address this topic to IMB and publish a schedule for implementation as quickly as possible.

Same here - we definitely want to go for IBM STT, but there's currently no German Version what the Client requires though! In the worst case, we will Need an alternative Provider like MS...

We loose cognitive opportunities because we can not deliver in German language! Others can .... (Microsoft, FinTecs,.....).

We have a number of opportunities out where STT is needed as part of their process transformation and inclusion of cognitive technology. If we get STT, we also need the corresponding EU support in IBM Cloud Frankfurt to satisfy security and privacy concerns.

I have several insurance opportunities in Germany and Switzerland where my clients tell me: We need STT for German language. You can come back when it is available (if it is not too late then).

They also mentioned that they'd be willing to support the development of German STT, as they could provide audio material from many years covering many areas (not only in swiss german).

We urgently need STT in german language included in the german cloud for a > 5 Mio EUR GBS engagement with Consorsbank. Consorsbank would be the first step to get Cognitive implemented in the BNP Paribas Group which is the largest european client over all industries.

STT in German is urgently required since a window of opportunity for implementation of new FSS regulations regarding documentation of client advisory meetings/calls is only open for next 6-9 months. Just to name a few others, we have opportunities for internal and external call center use of STT (in addition to conversation and cognitive search) for whole commercial banks sector, savings banks organization, as well as Deutsche Bank where we just announced a Cognitive partnership and need to deliver.

We have requests from system integrators for STT in German for multiple customer opportunities cross industry!!!

My two clients Commerzbank and DTAG will order STT only when it is available in german. If not they will further on use google, Microsoft or Nuance. And this has the consequence that other Watson services are at risk.
