Speech Recognition for Voice-Based Machine
Rafael Prikladnicki, Fabio Calefato, Filippo Lanubile · 2014
Douglas Adams described a mythical Babel fish: “If you stick one in your ear, you can instantly understand anything said to you in any form of language.” We aren’t there yet, but real-time voice-based machine translation is quickly progressing. It is stimulated by many international teams who want to understand each other syntactically as well as semantically. Authors Tiago Duarte, Rafael Prikladnicki, Fabio Calefato, and Filippo Lanubile provide an overview of current technologies for real-time voice-base machine translation. I look forward to hearing from both readers and prospective column authors about this column and the technologies you want to know more about. —Christof Ebert
