TRANSLATION WITH AUDIO SPATIALIZATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18132851 titled 'TRANSLATION WITH AUDIO SPATIALIZATION
Simplified Explanation:
This patent application describes a method or audio system for translation with audio spatialization. It involves transcribing a voice signal into text in one language, translating it into text in another language, generating a corresponding voice signal, and presenting both voice signals spatially to the user simultaneously.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Transcription of voice signals into text in one language and translation into another language.
- Generation of corresponding voice signals for translated text.
- Spatial presentation of both voice signals to the user simultaneously.
Potential Applications: This technology could be used in:
- Language translation services.
- Audio guides for multilingual environments.
- Virtual reality and augmented reality applications.
Problems Solved: This technology addresses:
- Language barriers in communication.
- Providing real-time translation services.
- Enhancing user experience in audio-based applications.
Benefits:
- Improved communication across language barriers.
- Enhanced user experience with spatialized audio.
- Real-time translation capabilities.
Commercial Applications: Title: Spatialized Audio Translation System This technology could be commercially used in:
- Language learning applications.
- Tourism and travel audio guides.
- Virtual meetings and conferences.
Prior Art: For prior art related to this technology, researchers could explore patents or publications in the fields of audio processing, translation technologies, and spatial audio presentation.
Frequently Updated Research: There may be ongoing research in the fields of audio processing, machine translation, and spatial audio technologies that could impact the development and implementation of this technology.
Questions about Spatialized Audio Translation System: 1. How does the spatialization of audio signals enhance the user experience in language translation applications? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing real-time translation with spatialized audio presentation?
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.
