"Our translator requires at least two models, one of which is the bar style that is common on the market now, and the other is the simultaneous interpretation headset."

In the conference room, Chen Shen was making requirements for the translation machine design team formed by Li Jun.

He said above, and everyone recorded below.

"Among them, I don't make too many requirements for the function of the candy bar style translator. Offline translation, photo translation, etc., are just as good as their counterparts in the industry."

The so-called candy bar translator in Chen Shen's mouth is the most common style on the market now.

This style translator is similar to a TV remote control. The upper two thirds are touch screens, and the lower third are buttons and speakers with simple functions. There are also switches and volume buttons on the other side of the fuselage. .

They are basically used in the same way, they all press and hold the recording button, and then speak to the translator, the translator will automatically translate into the corresponding language.

When most people use it, they use it as a microphone. Just like a reporter, whoever speaks presses the button and tuck the translator next to his mouth.

To be honest, this is kind of silly.

That's why Chen Shen wanted to make a special simultaneous interpretation headset.

At present, there are simultaneous interpretation headsets on the market, but this type of headset can generally only perform one-to-one translation, that is, each party wears a headset for translation and dialogue. The headset is generally unhygienic and it is difficult to translate. To achieve real-time translation, you can only translate one paragraph after one paragraph, which is a reduced version of the translation machine.

This is a bit different from the simultaneous interpretation headsets Chen Shen imagined.

In his vision, the simultaneous interpretation headset should be like the translation headset in the small broken ball. It only needs to hang on the ear to automatically record the surrounding voice information and translate it into the native language.

Moreover, this simultaneous interpretation headset can translate the voices of multiple people at the same time, instead of only one person's voice at the same time.

"Simultaneous interpretation headsets should automatically translate the surrounding languages ​​and translate them in the headset in real time according to the distance and the sound level."

"In theory, no matter how many people are wearing simultaneous interpretation headsets, even if everyone uses their own mother tongue, they can understand what the other party says."

Chen Shen just finished speaking, and one of them raised his hand to ask questions.

"But if you don't have a microphone in this case, and if you don't have enough translator earphones for each person, you can only understand and cannot speak, so you can't communicate?"

Chen Shen glanced at the people at the meeting. Some people agreed with this point of view, while others were thinking.

He said: "Your view has some truth, but this flaw can be avoided."

"We only need to add a Bluetooth function to the headset, connect it to the phone, and output the translated voice through the phone's microphone to solve this problem."

After hearing Chen Shen's solution, the people below all agreed that it was indeed a solution.

"Secondly, the main application scenarios of our product are some relatively closed special scenarios, such as international conferences or international institutions, where people from many different countries will gather together."

"In this way, everyone only needs to wear this headset in a meeting or at work. Everyone can quickly understand what the other party is saying. You don’t need to speak English or record the sound through a translator. Effective communication."

When everyone heard Chen Shen's thoughts, they couldn't help but look sideways.

It is indeed a good direction to use this thing in international conferences.

Or it can also be used for international visits. For some companies to visit abroad, it is inevitable that they will encounter language barriers or communication inconveniences. In this case, they usually rely on translation.

But this again involves the problem of communication efficiency. Say a sentence and pass it to one person, and this person passes it to another person. The last person speaks another sentence, and the translator sends this sentence back in turn...

Even if the translation works harder, the efficiency will be affected.

But all you need to do is to wear simultaneous interpretation headphones to get rid of this trouble.

Moreover, in Chen Shen's vision, if this product is successful enough, it might be able to shake the hegemony of English. At least two bricks will be fine.

Let alone impossible, with Bai Ze's translation accuracy, it is not difficult to enter various professional fields in the future.

When Bai Ze can translate a professional essay written in English, coupled with this simultaneous interpretation headset, the status of English will definitely be shaken.

At that time, except for the developers of AI translation, everyone in the world no longer needs to learn foreign languages. They only need to spend a little money to buy simultaneous interpretation headphones, which saves effort and worry. This is for the English cultural circle and For the academic circle based on English, it was a great blow.

At that time, the edges and corners can even use the voice data collected by the headset to obtain some unknown secrets...

The design team on the conference table was still on the first level, thinking about how to design the requirements proposed by Chen Shen, and I didn’t know that Chen Shen had thought of the fifth level.

"For translators and simultaneous interpretation headsets, we can purchase design plans and templates, and then select the best parts to optimize them."

"The advantage of this is that various functional modules and processor combinations are readily available. We only need to carry out some adaptations and transformations, and there are no high requirements for design time and design requirements." said Jia Nan, director of the design team .

Chen Shen basically agreed with this plan, "We have to design the sound pickup system and playback system of the simultaneous interpretation headset independently. There should be no templates on the market that can meet my requirements."

He thought about it again, "By the way, the design of the two products should be closer to the style of Crimson Storm and Boxer."

Holding the image operation rights of these two mechas in your hand, you don't need to use them for nothing.

Jia Nan understood what Chen Shen meant and immediately added what he just said into the memo.

"When will these two designs be completed?" Chen Shen glanced at the current date, it was already December.

Jia Nan's nib paused on the memo and thought about it: "It can be completed and tested before the new year."

It takes more than a month.

"Okay, then come by this time." Chen Shen said.

After this meeting, Chen Shen also went to Gu Huanyu to discuss with him about adding other languages ​​to Bai Ze Translator.

There is only one Chinese-English translation, and it is definitely not possible to use a translator.

Without translating between dozens of languages, I am embarrassed to say that I am a translator?

He didn't want the first translation machine to be launched, and it was evaluated as a money-making product.

"The design and training of translation systems for other languages ​​are already underway. There are currently 87 languages ​​in progress, including all the mainstream languages ​​in the world. We have also invited domestic professors who study related languages ​​to check for us."

"Although the current level of translation is not as good as Chinese-English translation, it is at least average on the market."

Faced with Chen Shen's inquiry, Gu Huanyu seemed confident.

Hearing this, Chen Shen could feel relieved to return to the base. Judging from the contacts during this period, Gu Huanyu was undoubtedly very reliable.

The photoacoustic imaging research room that Aunt Qian said will move over these days.

Then he will be busy.
