A Study on the Pros and Cons of Automatic Speech Translation - On the Speech to Speech Translation System Latest Achieved by Microsoft

Abstract:

Focusing on the speech recognition function of Automatic Speech Translation System, applying the figures and data collected from tests, and testing the deduced formula, the thesis mainly compares the computer-aided speech recognition with the pure manual one. As shown by the results, during the whole process of speech recognition, the computer-aided one consumes less time than the pure manual one does, and this time remains to be 2 seconds. It can be said that the technological feature, “little time-consuming”, ensures the system’s superiority of spreading information in unit time.
