TRANSLATION WITH AUDIO SPATIALIZATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240340604 titled 'TRANSLATION WITH AUDIO SPATIALIZATION

The abstract describes a method or audio system for translation with audio spatialization. It involves transcribing a voice signal into text in a first language, translating it into text in a second language, and generating a corresponding voice signal in the second language. The first and second voice signals are spatialized and presented to the user simultaneously.

• Transcribes voice signal into text in first language
• Translates text into second language
• Generates corresponding voice signal in second language
• Spatializes first and second voice signals
• Presents spatialized voice signals to user simultaneously

Potential Applications: - Language translation services - Communication devices for multilingual users - Educational tools for language learning

Problems Solved: - Overcoming language barriers - Enhancing communication between speakers of different languages

Benefits: - Improved understanding between speakers of different languages - Enhanced user experience in multilingual settings

Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Audio Translation System for Multilingual Communication This technology can be used in: - Translation apps - Language learning software - Communication devices for international business meetings

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the audio spatialization enhance the user experience in language translation? 2. What are the potential limitations of this audio translation system in real-world applications?

Original Abstract Submitted

a method or an audio system for translation with audio spatialization. the audio system transcribes a first voice signal into first text in a first language. the first text is translated into second text in a second language. the audio system generates a second voice signal that corresponds to the second text in the second language. the first voice signal and the second voice signal are spatialized. the audio system presents the spatialized first voice signal and second voice signal to a user at a same time.
