Original Abstract Submitted

implementations relate to a multimodal translation application that can provide an abridged version of a translation through an audio interface of a computing device, while simultaneously providing a verbatim textual translation at a display interface of the computing device. the application can provide these different versions of the translation in certain circumstances when, for example, the rate of speech of a person speaking to a user is relatively high compared to a preferred rate of speech of the user. for example, a comparison between phonemes of an original language speech and a translated language speech can be performed to determine whether the ratio satisfies a threshold for providing an audible abridged translation. a determination to provide the abridged translation can additionally or alternatively be based on a determined language of the speaker.
