Speech recognition and translation terminal, method and non-transitory computer readable medium
View Patent ↗A speech recognition terminal includes: a voice input unit to accept an input of a voice; a speech recognition command unit to command a speech recognition unit to convert voices of joined voice data acquired by the voice input unit joining the voice data of the voice accepted by the voice input unit to the voice data of the voice accepted previously into character information of a first language at an interval of predetermined time; a translation command unit to command a translation unit to translate first character information of a first language into a second language whenever receiving the first character information of the first language converted by the voice recognition unit; and a display unit to display the first character information of the second language translated by the translation unit together with the first character information of the first language.
1. A speech recognition and translation terminal comprising:
a processor, a storage device, and a display, the processor being programmed with:
a voice input unit to accept an input of a voice;
a speech recognition command unit to command a speech recognition unit to convert voices of joined voice data acquired by the voice input unit joining the voice data of the voice accepted by the voice input unit to voice data of a previously accepted voice into character information of a first language at an interval of predetermined time;
a translation command unit to command a translation unit to translate first character information of a first language into a second language whenever receiving the first character information of the first language converted by the speech recognition unit; and
a display unit to display the first character information of the second language translated by the translation unit,
wherein the speech recognition command unit commands the speech recognition unit, when the voice contains a silence continuing for a predetermined time, to convert the voice into a control character code indicating a line feed,
the translation command unit does not command the translation unit, when the first character information of the first language is the same as the first character information received a previous time, to translate the first character information of the first language toward another terminal equipment, and
the display unit is commanded to display, when a first character information of the second language displayed finally does not contain the control character indicating the line feed, the first character information of the second language translated by the translation command unit after erasing the first character information of the second language displayed finally, and wherein the display unit is not commanded to erase the first character information of the second language displayed finally, when the first character information of the second language displayed finally contains the control character code indicating the line feed.
2. The speech recognition and translation terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the display unit displays the translation of the first character information in the second language together with the first character information of the first language.
3. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a translation program compiled to make a terminal equipment having a processor, programmed by instructions from the non-transitory computer readable medium, execute:
accepting an input of a voice and converting the accepted voice into voice data;
commanding a speech recognition command unit to convert voices of joined voice data, the joined voice data including the voice data of the accepted voice and a previous voice data of a previously accepted voice into character information of a first language at an interval of predetermined time;
commanding a translation command unit to translate the first character information of the first language into a second language whenever receiving the first character information of the first language; and
displaying on a display the first character information of the second language translated by the translation command unit,
wherein when the accepted voice contains a silence continuing for the predetermined time, the accepted voice is converted into a control character code indicating a line feed, and
when the first character information of the first language is the same as previous first character information received a previous time, the first character information of the first language is not translated and is not output toward another terminal equipment,
wherein further the display is commanded to display, when a first character information of the second language displayed finally does not contain the control character code indicating the line feed, the first character information of the second language translated by the translation command unit after erasing the first character information of the second language displayed finally, and
the display is not commanded to erase the first character information of the second language displayed finally, when the first character information of the second language displayed finally contains the control character code indicating the line feed.
4. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 3 , wherein the instructions cause the processor to execute:
displaying the translation of the first character information in the second language together with the first character information of the first language.
