چکیده

Translinguator is a web based application that can be employed with the help of cloud computing technology. The application can be integrated with devices such as Mobile phones, tablets etc, or it can be designed with dedicated hardware as an independent device. It mainly involves the integration of various existing concepts in a specific sequence to obtain the unique desired output. This application is targeted in receiving the voice input of a speaker in a foreign language and translating it to the language known by the listener. The uniqueness of this application is that it can produce the translated output in a language which is known and desired by the listener (the person who is using the device) and that too in the same voice as the speaker using voice forensic analysis of the input speech. It employs the very common algorithms used in Speech recognition Engines (SRE), Text To Speech converter (TTS), Voice comparator & morpher, etc. The device/application can benefit a wide range of users such as

Indeed, much of the non-speech signals maybe classified as ‘noise’ in human communication. The process of separating conversational speech and noise is termed voice activity detection (VAD). This paper describes a new approach to VAD which is based on the Wavelet ...

An investigation of the impact of speech transcript errors on HMM voices

Toward automatic creation of web-based voice fonts at low cost, automatic speech transcription technology is used to obtain the linguistic features for building HMM-based voices from audio web contents. This paper presents an investigation of the influences of erroneous transcripts on such voices. We simulate varied speech transcript errors by using a large vocabulary automatic speech recognize...
