Simultaneous-Interpretation is an advanced tool designed to provide real-time simultaneous interpretation. Harnessing the power of leading transcription and translation technologies, Simultaneous-Interpretation transcribes spoken language from a microphone input and translates it almost instantaneously. This tool is heavily inspired by Andrew Ng's idea of 'agentic' translation, ensuring that translations are refined and improved recursively for higher accuracy and contextual relevance.
- Simultaneous Transcription and Interpretation: Transcripts speech from your microphone in real-time and translates it into your chosen language.
- Recursive Interpretation: Continuously refines translations for enhanced accuracy.
- Custom Dictionary Integration: Preprocess translations using a custom dictionary for specialized terminology.
- Rich Logging: Comprehensive logging of transcriptions and interpretations for review.
- Audio Translation Playback: Plays back translated text through your preferred output device.
Simultaneous interpretation is crucial for environments where real-time multilingual communication is necessary, such as international conferences, multilingual meetings, and live broadcasts. Simultaneous-Interpretation leverages AI models and speech recognition technologies to provide quick and accurate translations, making it an invaluable tool for scenarios like:
- Business Meetings: Facilitate clear communication across different languages.
- Educational Settings: Enhance comprehension of lectures or seminars delivered in a foreign language.
- Live Events: Provide on-the-fly translations for conferences, webinars, and live broadcasts.
To install and run Simultaneous-Interpretation:
-
Clone the Repository:
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/simultaneous-interpretation.git cd simultaneous-interpretation -
Create a Virtual Environment:
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate # On Windows, use `venv\Scripts\activate`- Install Required Packages:
pip install -r requirements.txt- Set up Environment Variables:
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_keyTo start:
- List Available Audio Devices:
python simultaneous_interpretation.py- Select Devices and Begin Interpretation: Follow the prompts to:
- Select your input and output devices.
- Choose the input language code (en for English, zh for Chinese).
- Enable translation and audio playback as needed.
- Optionally, provide a custom dictionary file.
- Specify the topic for contextual accuracy.
- Stop Listening: Press CTRL + C to stop. The log will be saved to a file in your Downloads folder.
To use a custom dictionary, create a text file with each term-to-translation mapping on a new line:
term1=translation1
term2=translation2
