Though we are still far from achieving that goal, there are scenarios in which today's limited accuracy can create value. Our goal in the telephone-call scenario is to provide an aid for cross-language communication in the event that no other means of communication exists. The system we will show makes extensive use of speaker-adaptation technologies to achieve reasonable, real-time speech-to-text transcription accuracy. This is then translated live using machine translation to provide speech-to-text translation and further fed into a text-to-speech system to realize speech-to-speech translation. The speech-to-text transcript and the translated transcript are shown to the users to enable validation of their intentions. 173 http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/TechFairSV/The-Translating-Telephone Wed, 05 May 2010 22:05:00 GMT http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/TechFairSV/The-Translating-Telephone TechFest TechFest 0 http://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/TechFairSV/The-Translating-Telephone/RSS Microsoft Research Translating Telephone ]]> http://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/LauraFoy/TechFest-2010-Translating-Telephone Soon the language barrier will no longer be an issue. This piece of technology allows two users, speaking different languages, to communicate instantly. The speakers audio is turned into text, then that text is translated into another language and spoken aloud to the other party in the conversation. This could truly change the world. 302 http://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/LauraFoy/TechFest-2010-Translating-Telephone Wed, 03 Mar 2010 21:20:00 GMT http://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/LauraFoy/TechFest-2010-Translating-Telephone Laura Foy Laura Foy 6 http://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/LauraFoy/TechFest-2010-Translating-Telephone/RSS Microsoft Research TechFest Translating Telephone ]]> http://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/TechFest2010/The-Translating-Telephone Douglas Adams’ Babelfish inspired dreams of unfettered universal communication.
