Abstract

Aspects of the present invention relate to language translation systems for head-worn computers.

Claims (20)

1. A language translation system, comprising:

one or more processors;

a wearable head device including a microphone system and a see-through display, the wearable head device in communication with the one or more processors;

a speaker adapted to produce sound intensity such that a person at a conversational distance can hear the sound at a conversational level, the speaker in communication with the one or more processors; and

wherein the one or more processors are adapted to:

receive a spoken utterance of a person wearing the wearable head display,

convert the spoken utterance into a language other than a first spoken language represented by the spoken utterance, forming translated language,

communicate the translated language to the speaker, and,

display a visual representation of the translated language via the see-through display; wherein the speaker produces sound less than 80 db at a distance of 5 feet from the speaker.

2. The language system of claim 1 , wherein one or more processors are adapted to communicate to the speaker via a wired connection.

3. The language system of claim 1 , wherein one or more processors are adapted to wirelessly communicate to the speaker.

4. The language system of claim 1 , wherein the speaker produces sound of less than 40 db at a distance of 5 feet from the speaker.

5. The language system of claim 1 , wherein the speaker produces sound of less than 60 db at a distance of 5 feet from the speaker.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are further adapted to convert the spoken utterances into the translated language, wherein the translated language has an audible spectrum based on the user's spoken utterances.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the audible spectrum is determined through an analysis of the spoken utterances spectrum, wherein the analysis results in one of a plurality of tones to be used when communicating the translated language to the speaker.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the one tone is at least one of a high male tone, mid-tone male, low male tone, high female tone, mid-tone female, low female tone.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the speaker is mechanically adapted to fit into a shirt pocket of the user.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the speaker is mechanically adapted to clip onto a shirt of the user.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to present a user interface that turns off the displaying of the visual representation of the translated language.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors are configured to present a user interface that displays a visual representation of the first spoken language, and switch between a visual representation of the first spoken language and the translated language.
