Systems and methods for substantially real-time speech, transcription, and translation

A system comprising:

• a data storage medium;
• and
• one or more computer hardware processors in communication with the data storage medium, wherein the one or more computer hardware processors are configured to execute computer-executable instructions to at least:
• implement an application programming interface (API) service configured to receive a language translation request;
• implement a protocol buffer between the API service and a processing service;
• receive, via the API service, a first translation request from a first client computing device, the first translation request comprising audio data, the audio data comprising speech in a first source language;
• in response to receiving the first translation request, substantially in real-time:
• determine a first command associated with the first translation request;
• transmit, via the protocol buffer, the first command to the processing service;
• transmit, via a first third-party API, a first third-party request associated with the first command, the first third-party request comprising (i) a first source language indicator associated with the first source language, (ii) a first target language indicator, and (iii) the audio data;
• receive, from the first third-party API, first text data in a first target language;
• and
• transmit, to the first client computing device, the first text data in the first target language.

A method comprising:

• implementing an application programming interface (API) service configured to receive a language translation request;
• confirming a first persistent connection between the API service and a first client computing device;
• receiving, via the first persistent connection, a first translation request from the first client computing device, the first translation request comprising first input data associated with a first source language;
• in response to receiving the first translation request, substantially in real-time:
• determining a first command associated with the first translation request;
• transmitting the first command to a processing service;
• transmitting, via a first third-party API, a first third-party request associated with the first command, the first third-party request comprising (i) a first source language indicator associated with the first source language, (ii) a first target language indicator, and (iii) the first input data;
• receiving, from the first third-party API, first output data associated with a first target language;
• and
• transmitting, via the first persistent connection, the first output data to the first client computing device.
