ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a method and apparatus for providing continuous speech-to-subtitles translation utilizing a video-based communications device but without speech synthesis at the output. Instead, a translation of each user's speech is displayed continuously in text form on the other user's screen. In the preferred embodiment, the sending party speaks into a conventional videophone. Speech recognition and translation of the transmitted signal are performed by a remote device at the receiving party's location. The audio portion of the signal is sent both to a speaker for audio output and to a speech recognizer and text-based translation system, the output of which is text translated into the target language. The video portion of the signal and the translated text are combined in a subtitle generator and sent to a display device for viewing by the receiving party.
