Speech translation method and device, and device for speech translation

Abstract

Embodiments of the invention provide a speech translation method and device, and a device for speech translation. The method specifically includes the steps of obtaining a text that corresponds to a speech recognition result that has undergone punctuation adding processing; obtaining a target clause from the text; translating the target clause and outputting the obtained first translation result;and when a current pause corresponding to the speech recognition result is detected, performing a second translation on the text corresponding to the speech recognition result that has undergone punctuation adding processing and between a previous pause and the current pause, and outputting the obtained second translation result so as to replace the first translation result with the second translation result. In the embodiments of the invention, the lag of the translation result with respect to a speech signal can be effectively reduced by the first translation result, and the quality of the translation result finally provided to a user can be enhanced by the second translation result.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of speech translation, in particular to a speech translation method and device, and a speech translation device. Background technique [0002] With the increase of international communication, communication in different languages ​​is becoming more and more frequent. In order to overcome language communication barriers, client-based online speech translation is widely used. [0003] Online speech translation generally involves two steps. The first is to perform speech recognition, that is, to convert the speech signal of the first language input by the user into text; the second is to translate the text online through a machine translation device to obtain the first translation result. The text in the second language, and finally provide the user with text or voice information in the second language. [0004] The existing solution usually judges the end of the corresponding sentence of the text according t...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, in practical applications, the existing solutions perform online translation of sentences corresponding to the text when the speech signal pauses, which easily causes the translation result to lag behind the speech signal of the first language

In particular, this lag will be more pronounced for speech signals that speak too fast without a pause
