Speech Translation Systems as a Solution for a Wireless Earpiece

Abstract

The advances of deep learning approaches in automatic speech recognition (ASR) and machine translation (MT) have allowed for levels of accuracy that move speech translation closer to being a commercially viable alternative interpretation solution. In addition, recent improvements in micro-electronic mechanical systems, microphone arrays, speech processing software, and wireless technology have enabled speech recognition software to capture higher quality speech input from wireless earpiece products. With this in mind, we introduce and present a wearable speech translation tool called Pilot, which uses these systems to translate language spoken within the proximity of a user wearing the wireless earpiece.
