Google calls their newest invention the “Translatotron<\/strong>” and it simultaneously translates<\/strong> what you say by copying your voice, tone and cadence. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Translation programmes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Up until now, Google<\/strong> has been the most famous translator<\/strong> on the Internet. By typing in one word you are directly forwarded to it. Google even included a tool that can translate text to voice, text to text and voice o text. <\/strong>However, the voice tool always has the standard “Google” voice<\/strong>, which speaks like a robot<\/strong> and is very monotonous<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Translator\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A communication barrier<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What usually happens with regular translation programmes is that a lot of communication gets lost in the “process”<\/strong>, so to say. In other words, these kind of tools translate sentences word for word, meaning they don’t capture the essence of slang, expressions and other aspects of spoken communication. <\/strong>If it’s sometimes already hard enough to speak<\/a> to others<\/strong>, imagine if you had to depend<\/strong> on such translation tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google’s Translatotron<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Thus, what is so exciting<\/strong> about Google’s new invention, is that is does exactly this: it imitates your voice tone and the cadence of your sentences, <\/strong>which is fundamental in verbal communication. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The system is based on a sequence to sequence model<\/strong>, and works with spectrograms<\/strong> (used to copy voices). The creation is able to retain vocal characteristics from the transmitter<\/strong>, making their speech more natural<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find out what it sounds like<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you are interested in what these voices might sound like<\/strong>, you can find it here<\/a>. In the link you will be able to find original voices, conventional translations with the current systems and the results obtained with the application. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other translation tools<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It’s worth to mention that there are currently other systems, like <\/strong>Vbestlife<\/strong><\/a> and <\/strong>Ashata<\/strong><\/a>,<\/strong> which follow more or less the same pattern of simultaneous translation, but don’t imitate voices yet<\/strong>. They are available for a wide range of prices that goes from just 25 euros, up to 200. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
