Speech translation using a wearable device

Abstract

A speech translation system may provide real-time or near real-time translation of speech uttered by a person or emitted from a media device. The speech translation system may include a device that may receive audio representing speech in a source language and output audio representing speech in a target language. The speech translation system may translate the speech in portions representing semantically cohesive speech segments such that the target speech reflects the semantic meaning of words, phrases, and/or clauses as used in the context of the source speech. The speech translation system may condense the speech segments prior to or during translation to reduce verbosity. The speech translation system may selectively translate some speakers and not others, and may determine voice characteristics of source speech and apply identifying characteristics to the target speech that allow a user to differentiate respective target speech from different speakers based on the identifying characteristics.
