Problems solved by technology

Unlike text or e-mail transmissions, voice does not allow temporary loss of connectivity because it does not allow a corresponding interruption of the voice stream without loss of information or real-time performance

Embodiment Construction

[0074] The present invention is generally directed to speech translation systems in which a wireless-enabled client computing device (e.g., a smartphone or tablet) has both online (e.g., processing speech translation by a remote computer system) and offline (e.g., Embedded in the client computing device's speech translation processing) capabilities. figure 1 is a block diagram of an exemplary implementation of a speech translation system 10 in accordance with various implementations of the invention. as in figure 1 As shown in , a system 10 includes a wirelessly connectable client computing device 12, a wireless network 14, a data communication network 15 (e.g., the Internet), a backend speech translation server system 16, and an application storage server system ("app store" )18. Client computing device 12 is used by a user to translate speech utterances in a first language received by client computing device 12 into a second (or even other) language. Client computing devi...

Abstract

A hybrid speech translation system whereby a wireless-enabled client computing device can, in an offline mode, translate input speech utterances from one language to another locally, and also, in an online mode when there is wireless network connectivity, have a remote computer perform the translation and transmit it back to the client computing device via the wireless network for audible outputting by client computing de vice. The user of the client computing device can transition between modes or the transition can be automatic based on user preferences or settings. The back-end speech translation server system can adapt the various recognition and translation models used by the client computing device in the offline mode based on analysis of user data over time, to thereby configure the client computing device with scaled-down, yet more efficient and faster, models than the back-end speech translation server system, while still be adapted for the user's domain.

Description

Background technique [0001] Speech-to-speech translation (STS) systems are typically delivered in one of two different forms: online via the Internet or offline embedded on a user's device (eg, a smartphone or other suitable computing device). The online version has the advantage that it can benefit from significant processing resources on large servers (the cloud) and provides data feeds to service providers enabling refinement and customization. However, online processing requires constant network connectivity, which cannot be guaranteed at all locations or is undesirable in some cases due to roaming costs or privacy / security concerns. As an alternative configuration, speech-to-speech translators, such as the Jibbigo speech translation app, can be delivered while running locally in software embedded on the smartphone itself, and do not require network connectivity after the initial download of the translation app. Such an offline embedded speech translation capability is a ...
