Audiantis releases text translation with speech output

The Berlin company Audiantis is offering the beta version of its combined translation and speech output service iSound TranSpeaker free of charge for the duration of the world cup. This enables e.g. an English speaker to input a request or an order into his mobile device, immediately receiving the German translation as speech output. Equally, he can input an unfamiliar German text – from a newspaper or from a signpost – receiving the speech output in English.

In the slimmed down version 0.8 provided the languages German and English in both translation combinations, each with one speaking voice, are available. The complete process, from the translation to the speech generation, is carried out on the server side, with the speech data immediately transmitted to the mobile end device per audio stream. The whole procedure takes less than 4 seconds per translation and is accompanied by background music.

The service can be accessed under www.transpeaker.net, requiring either a PDA or Smartphone with the operating system Windows CE or Windows Mobile 2003/ 2005 and a web browser. No additional plugins are required. According to Audiantis the service doesn’t require a high bandwidth. “GPRS is more than sufficient”, reassures CTO Hardy Krause, announcing the release of a commercial service to follow the beta version, supporting further mobile operating systems and with additional languages and voices.
