STABLE REAL-TIME TRANSLATIONS OF AUDIO STREAMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240265215 titled 'STABLE REAL-TIME TRANSLATIONS OF AUDIO STREAMS

Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes methods, systems, and apparatus for generating stable real-time textual translations in a target language from an input audio data stream recorded in a source language.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Obtaining an audio stream recorded in a first language.
  • Generating partial transcriptions of the audio at successive time intervals.
  • Translating each partial transcription into a second language.
  • Using a model to identify stable portions of the translated partial transcriptions.
  • Displaying the stable portions on a user device.

Potential Applications: This technology could be used in real-time language translation services, transcription services, language learning tools, and communication devices for multilingual users.

Problems Solved: This technology addresses the challenges of real-time translation accuracy, stability, and efficiency in converting audio data streams from one language to another.

Benefits: The benefits of this technology include improved communication across language barriers, enhanced accessibility for non-native speakers, and increased efficiency in translating audio content.

Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include language translation software, transcription services for media content, language learning platforms, and communication devices for international businesses.

Prior Art: Researchers and developers in the fields of natural language processing, machine translation, and speech recognition may have explored similar technologies for real-time translation of audio data streams.

Frequently Updated Research: Researchers may be conducting studies on improving the accuracy and stability of real-time language translation systems, as well as exploring new applications for this technology in various industries.

Questions about Real-Time Textual Translation Technology: 1. How does this technology handle variations in accents and dialects during real-time translation? 2. What are the potential limitations of real-time textual translation systems in handling complex or technical language content?


Original Abstract Submitted

methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, that facilitate generating stable real-time textual translations in a target language of an input audio data stream that is recorded in a source language. an audio stream that is recorded in a first language is obtained. a partial transcription of the audio can be generated at each time interval in a plurality of successive time intervals. each partial transcription can be translated into a second language that is different from the first language. each translated partial transcription can be input to a model that determines whether a portion of an input translated partial transcription is stable. based on the input translated partial transcription, the model identifies a portion of the translated partial transcription that is predicted to be stable. this stable portion of the translated partial transcription is provided for display on a user device.
