A Wearable Headset Speech-to-Speech Translation System
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present a wearable, headset integrated eyesand hands-free speech-tospeech (S2S) translation system. The S2S system described here is configured for translingual communication between English and colloquial Iraqi Arabic. It employs an n-gram speech recognition engine, a rudimentary phrase-based translator for translating recognized Iraqi text, and a rudimentary text-tospeech (TTS) synthesis engine for playing back the English translation. This paper describes the system architecture, the functionality of its components, and the configurations of the speech recognition and machine translation engines.

One-way translation: an opportunity for NLG and MT research to interact
‘One-way translation’ has been proposed by Ward (2002) as an alternative to full-blown speech-to-speech translation. A one-way translation system is a cross-language communication aid located on a wearable device that uses graphical or other input to generate a spoken utterance, for example when buying a train ticket in a foreign language. We argue that this type of application is an opportunit...
متن کاملThe Effect of Private Speech and Self-Regulation on Translation Quality among Iranian Translation Students: A Mixed-Methods Study
The current study presents findings from a mixed-methods study of investigating the self-regulatory role of private speech (self-talk) on students’ translation quality. The aim of the study was to validate the adapted version of a self-verbalization questionnaire. The construct validity and reliability of the scale were supported by the CFA which revealed that all items reached the acceptable f...

The Smart Module project generates a family of interoperable modules supporting real-time Speech Recognition, Language Translation, and Speech Synthesis. The hardware, software, and physical form factor of the modules functions less like a computer and more like a tool or an appliance. Power Consumption and Performance are key design goals for wearable systems. This paper examines the effect th...
متن کاملContinuous Microphone Array Speech Recognition on Wall Street Journal Corpus
In this paper, we present a robust speech acquisition system to acquire continuous speech using a microphone array. A microphone array based speech recognition system is also presented to study the environmental interference due to reverberation, background noises and mismatch between the training and testing conditions. This is important in the context of smart meeting rooms of Augmented Multi...
متن کاملBlind Source Separation for Speech Application Under Real Acoustic Environment
A hands-free speech recognition system [1] is essential for the realization of an intuitive, unconstrained, and stress-free human-machine interface, where users can talk naturally because they require no microphone in their hands. In this system, however, since noise and reverberation always degrade speech quality, it is difficult to achieve high recognition performance, compared with the case ...
