SpeechLLM achieves real-time translation with 1-2 second latency

Researchers have developed a new SpeechLLM architecture designed for real-time speech-to-text translation. Unlike previous systems that process entire utterances or output at fixed intervals, this model learns to determine when it has received sufficient audio input to produce a translation. This approach maintains translation quality comparable to non-streaming methods while achieving significantly lower latency, around 1-2 seconds. AI

IMPACT Enables real-time translation applications by significantly reducing latency in speech-to-text translation systems.

    Streaming Speech-to-Text Translation with a SpeechLLM

    Normally, a system that translates speech into text consists of separate modules for speech recognition and text-to-text translation. Combining those tasks into a SpeechLLM promises to exploit paralinguistic information in the speech and to reduce cascaded errors. But existing Sp…
