Machine language interpretation assistance for human language interpretation
View Patent ↗A language interpretation system receives a request for an interpretation of a voice communication between a first language and a second language. Further, the language interpretation system provides the request to a human language interpreter. In addition, a machine language interpreter translates the voice communication into a set of text data. The text data is sent to a display device that displays the text during a human language interpretation performed by the human language interpreter.
1. A method comprising:
receiving, at a language interpretation system, a request for a real time interpretation performed by a human language interpreter of a voice communication between a first voice communication participant speaking a first language and a second voice communication participant speaking a second language during the voice communication, the request being received from the first voice communication participant;
providing, at the language interpretation system, the request to the human language interpreter;
translating, with a machine language interpreter, the voice communication into a set of text data, the set of text data having a plurality of translated sentences translated in real time during the voice communication; and
sending the text data to a display device that displays the set of text data during a verbal human language interpretation of the voice communication performed by the human language interpreter in real time during the voice communication so that the human language interpreter utilizes the set of text data to perform the verbal human language interpretation, the verbal human language interpretation being communicated by the human language interpreter to the second voice communication participant without the machine language interpreter, the verbal human language interpretation being unmodified prior to and during the communication of the human language interpreter to the second voice communication participant.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising sending additional text to the display device, the additional text including contextual terminology corresponding to the voice communication.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising sending additional text to the display device, the additional text including contextual vocabulary corresponding to the voice communication.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising sending additional text to the display device, the additional text including contextual language corresponding to the voice communication.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising sending additional text to the display device, the additional text including user information corresponding to a user that performs the request.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the text is displayed in real-time.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising transferring, with a routing module, the voice communication to the machine language interpreter.
8. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage device having a computer readable program stored thereon, wherein the computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to:
receive, at a language interpretation system, a request for a real time interpretation performed by a human language interpreter of a voice communication between a first voice communication participant speaking a first language and a second voice communication participant speaking a second language during the voice communication, the request being received from the first voice communication participant;
provide, at the language interpretation system, the request to a human language interpreter;
translate, with a machine language interpreter, the voice communication into a set of text data; and
send the text data to a display device that displays the set of text data during a verbal human language interpretation of the voice communication performed by the human language interpreter in real time during the voice communication so that the human language interpreter utilizes the set of text data to perform the verbal human language interpretation, the human language interpretation being communicated by the human language interpreter to the second voice communication participant without the machine language interpreter, the verbal human language interpretation being unmodified prior to and during the communication of the human language interpreter to the second voice communication participant.
9. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the computer is further caused to send additional text to the display device, the additional text including contextual terminology corresponding to the voice communication.
10. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the computer is further caused to send additional text to the display device, the additional text including contextual vocabulary corresponding to the voice communication.
11. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the computer is further caused to send additional text to the display device, the additional text including contextual language corresponding to the voice communication.
12. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the computer is further caused to send additional text to the display device, the additional text including user information corresponding to a user that performs the request.
13. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the text is displayed in real-time.
14. The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the computer is further caused to transfer, with a routing module, the voice communication to the machine language interpreter.
15. A system comprising:
a reception module that receives, at a language interpretation system, a request for a real time interpretation performed by a human language interpreter of a voice communication between a first voice communication participant speaking a first language and a second voice communication participant speaking a second language during the voice communication, the request being received from the first voice communication participant;
a routing module that provides, at the language interpretation system, the request to a human language interpreter;
a machine language interpreter that translates the voice communication into a set of text data; and
a transmission module that sends the set of text data to a display device that displays the text during a verbal human language interpretation of the voice communication performed by the human language interpreter in real time during the voice communication so that the human language interpreter utilizes the set of text data to perform the verbal human language interpretation, the human language interpretation being communicated by the human language interpreter to the second voice communication participant without the machine language interpreter, the verbal human language interpretation being unmodified prior to and during the communication of the human language interpreter to the second voice communication participant.
16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the transmission module sends additional text to the display device, the additional text including contextual terminology corresponding to the voice communication.
17. The system of claim 15 , wherein the transmission module sends additional text to the display device, the additional text including contextual vocabulary corresponding to the voice communication.
18. The system of claim 15 , wherein the transmission module sends additional text to the display device, the additional text including contextual language corresponding to the voice communication.
19. The system of claim 15 , wherein the transmission module sends additional text to the display device, the additional text including user information corresponding to a user that performs the request.
20. The system of claim 15 , wherein the text is displayed in real-time.
