Interprefy has just announced its new real-time speech translation service for live and online events, Aivia. The tool based on artificial intelligence is capable of translating and even generating synthetic speech for live presentations and applications such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams, which already have integration with ChatGPT.
Aivia currently supports 14 languages, but already supports full translations with regional accents.
Supported languages ​​include: Arabic, Cantonese Chinese, Mandarin Chinese, Danish, Dutch, US English, UK English, Australian English, South African English, French, Canadian French, German, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Portuguese, Europeian PortugueseRussian, Spanish, Mexican Spanish, Swedish, Turkish.
Oddmund Braaten, CEO of Interprefy, explains how Aivia has become so complete:
We’ve spent the last few years developing an AI benchmarking platform that allows us to evaluate the best solution for each language pair. By combining the best AI technology with our years of experience, thousands of events supported, and our technical expertise, we believe we have produced the most accurate and flexible AI-based speech translation tool on the market today.
Aivia even has a glossary extraction tool to ensure that translations will take into account specific keywords, terminology and abbreviations for each language.
Braaten says that the idea is for Aivia to help human interpreters instead of replacing them, as artificial intelligence is still not able to adapt to the public, understand sarcasm, idioms and humor, which still makes the work of these professionals essential .
