The automatic translation device

The automatic translation device

One of the most fascinating ideas is the portable translation machine, what can put on the ear, and then it would translate every word, what any creature on the universe can say.  This system is introduced in the famous SciFi book "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", which is written by Douglas Adams.

If we are thinking about that strange thing, we must realize that if those systems would be done, they might look like a joke. And the strange form of that system is created because it must be unseen, and actually, it can operate by using the network-based artificial intelligence.

But what kind of system the real-life translation machine could be? And what kind of technical advantages would need to make the normal web-based dictionary books, that this thing would be to work? The thing is that the technology for that kind of solution already exists. And there is needed to connect the speech-to-text solution to the electronic dictionary book, and maybe this is the next mobile solution if that solution does not already exist.

That system would be a transformed version of the text-to-speech and speech-to-text solution, what is one of my favorite version of the software. In that case, this solution would translate the speech to text, and then the text is comparing in the database to another list of words. Then the computer searches the connections between two words. And that thing would transform the translated text to speech.

When we are looking at that thing sharply, it is the expanded version of the network-based dictionary book. The thing is actually that the system would be connected to the speech-to-text solution, and on the other side would be the system, which is connected to the loudspeaker.

We are making this kind of system, we must realize, that the system would need two tables of databases, and when we would want to translate the speech to another there would need the table for the source language, which might be our own. And the target language is, of course, necessary thing. The system would translate spoken speech to both directions, and that makes it effective for communication between other people, who don't speak other's language.

Then we would need to know, would we use that system locally, or through the internet. In the first case, we can load the needed databases to the system, and in the second case, we could use this tool like the mobile solution. But the use of it as the communication tool in places like a jungle, there should be an allowance to use them as the local version without the internet, and this will make it an effective communicating tool for people, who are working far away from the civilized world.

The system can use also Bluetooth headphone for making communication effective, and the speech of the user would come from the loudspeaker, what might be in the bandana. The thing is that the system would need to silence the noise, what user keeps, that the receiver could understand the words, what is coming from the translation machine.
