The fastest way to innovation? Experimentation!
Our story
In 2019 Frans and Rick joined forces to make Scriptix the go-to partner in speech to text customization techniques. They shared the vision of empowering clients to build their own speech to text models. Having built speech to text models in 10 languages at an earlier stage, it was now time for a real challenge.
There are a lot of options out there when it comes to speech recognition and in various languages. However, the Scriptix team didn’t find a workable solution which helps end customers with speech to text models that are customized to fit their needs. Current language models score a high accuracy, but the real challenge lies in making sure those models can be trained based on customer data.
As opposed to other vendors out there where additional customer data is added to language models, Scriptix builds customized models for end customers themselves. The first customized model based on client data alone – so not a big heap of data put together – was the model for Dutch Politics, built for our partner Arbor Media. The results were beyond expectation and the vision of the team was confirmed.

Frans Olsthoorn - CEO
From the moment we (Rick and I) founded Scriptix I realized being an entrepreneur is in my DNA. I love the feeling of creating and building a company. I always think about my grandfather who ventured to Sweden after WW II. Since the country had remained officially neutral throughout the war he thought there should have been interesting developments going on there as well. He came back with the idea of a buffet restaurant, something that existed in Sweden but not in the Netherlands. As such he opened the very first buffet restaurant in The Netherlands. He wasn’t in tech like his grandson is now but, thinking out-of-the-box like that and being innovative is what I try to bring to the table at Scriptix every day.
As the CEO of Scriptix I work closely with our partners and oversee all the company’s operations, making sure we deliver the best possible services and retain a close and fruitful relationship with our partners. To that end I work closely with both our development and commercial teams to make sure Scriptix products and brand remain on top in our field of Automated Speech Recognition.
Casper Haspels- Advisor
As a seasoned entrepreneur in the software industry I expect to bring valuable experience to the table to further scale the company. I was intrigued by the vision of the founders to improve the quality of speech to text even with smaller data sets and create a better end result in real time. Second, I’m delighted we can contribute to a more inclusive society by offering the means to automate subtitles with higher quality, more timely and more cost effectively. As a member of the advisory board of Scriptix I’m in close contact with the Scriptix management team.
