Abstract
A machine translation apparatus includes a receiving unit that receives an input of a plurality of speeches; a detecting unit that detects a speaker of a speech from among the speeches; a recognition unit that performs speech recognition on the speeches; a translating unit that translates a recognition result to a translated sentence; an output unit that outputs the translated sentence in speech; and an output control unit that controls output of speech by referring to processing stages from receiving to outputting a first speech that is input first from among a plurality of the speeches, a speaker detected with respect to the first speech, and a speaker detected with respect to a second speech that is input after the first speech from among a plurality of the speeches.
Claims20
A machine translation apparatus comprising:
- a receiving unit that receives an input of a plurality of speeches;
- a detecting unit that detects a speaker of a speech from among the speeches;
- a recognition unit that performs speech recognition on the speeches;
- a translating unit that translates a recognition result to a translated sentence;
- an output unit that outputs the translated sentence in speech;
- and
- an output control unit that controls output of speech by referring to processing stages from receiving to outputting a first speech that is input first from among a plurality of the speeches, a speaker detected with respect to the first speech, and a speaker detected with respect to a second speech that is input after the first speech from among a plurality of the speeches.
A machine translation method comprising:
- receiving an input of a plurality of speeches;
- detecting a speaker of a speech from among the speeches;
- performing speech recognition on the speeches;
- translating a recognition result to a translated sentence;
- outputting the translated sentence in speech;
- and
- controlling output of speech by referring to processing stages from receiving to outputting a first speech that is input first from among a plurality of the speeches, a speaker detected with respect to the first speech, and a speaker detected with respect to a second speech that is input after the first speech from among a plurality of the speeches.
A computer program product having a computer readable medium including programmed instructions for machine translation, wherein the instructions, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform:
- receiving an input of a plurality of speeches;
- detecting a speaker of a speech from among the speeches;
- performing speech recognition on the speeches;
- translating a recognition result to a translated sentence;
- outputting the translated sentence in speech;
- and
- controlling output of speech by referring to processing stages from receiving to outputting a first speech that is input first from among a plurality of the speeches, a speaker detected with respect to the first speech, and a speaker detected with respect to a second speech that is input after the first speech from among a plurality of the speeches.
