谷歌翻譯的新實時轉(zhuǎn)錄功能上線

Google LLC today announced the general availability of a new, artificial intelligence-powered and near real-time transcription feature for its Google Translate app.

Google LLC今天宣布將為其Google Translate應用提供一種新的，基于人工智能的，接近實時的轉(zhuǎn)錄功能。

First revealed in January, the transcription feature is now rolling out on Android devices this week. Google Translate will be able to support transcribed translations between any pair of eight languages, including English, French, Hindi, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Thai.

這項轉(zhuǎn)錄功能于今年1月首次發(fā)布，本周將在Android設(shè)備上推出。Google翻譯將能夠支持任何八種語言之間的轉(zhuǎn)錄翻譯，包括英語，法語，印地語，葡萄牙語，俄語，西班牙語和泰語。

In a blog post, Google Product Manager Sami Iqram said Translate previously wouldn’t work for longer translated discussions, for example talks at a lecture or a conference or storytelling.

谷歌產(chǎn)品經(jīng)理薩米•伊克拉姆(Sami Iqram)在一篇博客文章中表示，對于較長時間的翻譯討論，比如在演講、會議或講故事時的談話，翻譯之前的內(nèi)容是行不通的。

The new feature will be delivered to Android users via an update to the Google Translate app being pushed out this week. Once installed, users can just hit the new “Transcribe” option that appears on the app’s home screen. Then, they choose the source and target languages and hit the mic icon to begin transcribing.

這項新功能將通過本周推出的Google Translate應用程序的更新交付給Android用戶。安裝后，用戶只需點擊應用程序主屏幕上出現(xiàn)的新“轉(zhuǎn)錄”選項。然后，選擇源語言和目標語言，點擊麥克風圖標開始轉(zhuǎn)錄。

Google said it will bring the feature to the iOS version of the app too but hasn’t said when.

谷歌表示，也將把這一功能引入iOS版本的應用程序，但尚未透露具體時間。

Google said the real-time transcription feature will only work with speech that’s captured by the phone’s microphone, though it hopes to add the ability to transcribe prerecorded audio files at a later date.

谷歌表示，實時轉(zhuǎn)錄功能只適用于手機麥克風捕捉到的語音，不過它希望以后能夠增加轉(zhuǎn)錄預先錄制的音頻文件的功能。

Google said the transcribed speech will become more accurate over time as the app’s algorithms learn and improve from regular use.

谷歌表示，隨著時間的推移，隨著應用程序算法的不斷學習和改進，轉(zhuǎn)錄的語音將變得更加準確。
