As speech recognition technology gets better, and as handheld computers get more powerful, audio translators are becoming a more practical proposition.
Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University, Cepstral, LLC, Multimodal Technologies Inc. and Mobile Technologies Inc. have put together a two-way speech-to-speech system that translates medical information from Arabic to English and English to Arabic and runs on an iPaq handheld computer. The prototype falls short of Star Trek's fictional universal translator in several ways. The system is not transparent -- it must be switched between Arabic-to-English and English-to-Arabic modes. It also works only when the speakers are talking about medical information, and it's only about 80 percent accurate in the lab. http://www.trnmag.com/Stories/2003/121703/PDA_translates_speech_121703.html Source: www.slashdot.org |
