Launch of voice-to-text technology

The Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) of South Korea claims to have developed a translation technology that uses audio recognition to "translate" content from one language to another.

ETRI researchers have applied deep learning technology of artificial intelligence to develop a multilingual audio recognition-translation program.

Accordingly, with available phrases, the technology will recognize voice sounds to translate directly from one language to another and then display that content in writing.

Compared to Google's program, ETRI's Korean recognition ability is superior, being able to "translate" up to 96% of the content of daily conversations. This rate in other languages ​​is from 90% to 95%, equivalent to Google.

The technology has now been applied to nine languages, including English, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, French, German, Russian and Arabic.

ETRI is expected to expand to several languages ​​in Southeast Asia.
