"We need at least two models of translators, one of which is the common straight board machine style on the market now, and the other is a simultaneous interpretation headset."

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

He spoke above, and the crowd recorded below.

"Among them, I don't have too many requirements for the translation machine function of the straight board machine, offline translation, photo translation, etc., and the performance is on par with the peers in the industry."

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

This style translator resembles a TV remote control, with two-thirds of the upper two-thirds of the screen display, and the lower one-third of which are a few simple buttons and speakers, and a power on and off and volume keys on the fuselage.

They are used in the same way, by holding down the recording button and speaking into the translator, which automatically translates into the corresponding language.

Most people use it as a microphone when they use it, like a journalist, who pushes a button and puts a translator next to their mouth.

To be honest, it's a bit silly.

That's why Chen Shencai thought about making a special simultaneous interpretation headset.

At present, there are also simultaneous interpretation headsets on the market, but this kind of headset can only be used for one-to-one translation, that is, each party wears a headset for translation and dialogue.

This is a bit far from the simultaneous interpretation headset that Chen Shen envisioned.

In his vision, the simultaneous interpretation headset should be like the translation headset in the small wrecking ball, which only needs to be hung on the ear, and can automatically collect the surrounding voice information and translate it into the native language.

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

"Simultaneous interpretation headphones should be able to automatically translate the surrounding language, and translate it in real time in the headset according to the distance and sound volume."

"Theoretically, no matter how many people are wearing simultaneous interpretation headphones, they can understand what each other is saying even if they are in their native language."

As soon as Chen Shen finished speaking, a person below raised his hand to ask a question.

"But if you don't have a microphone and don't have enough translation headphones for each person, you can only understand and not speak, so you can't communicate?"

Chen Shen glanced at the people at the meeting, some of them agreed with this point of view, and some of them were thinking.

"There is some truth to your argument, but this flaw can be avoided," he said. ”

"We only need to add a Bluetooth function to the headphones, let it connect with the mobile phone, and translate the voice through the microphone of the mobile phone to solve this problem."

Hearing Chen Shen's solution, the people below all agreed, this is 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 get together."

"As long as everyone wears these headphones in meetings or at work, everyone can quickly understand what each other is saying, and they don't need to speak English or record their voices through a translator to achieve fast and effective communication."

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

It's a good direction to use this at an international conference.

Or it can also be used for international visits, some companies go abroad for visits, it is inevitable to encounter language barriers or inconvenient communication, in this case generally rely on translation.

But this also involves the problem of communication efficiency, saying a word, passing it on to one person, this person passing it on to another person, and the last person saying another word, and the translator passing it back in turn......

No matter how hard you try, efficiency suffers.

But as long as everyone wears simultaneous interpretation headphones, you can get rid of this trouble.

And in Chen Shen's vision, if this product is successful enough, maybe it can shake the hegemony of English, and at least two bricks will be no problem to pry down.

Not to mention impossible, with Bai Ze's translation accuracy, it will not be difficult to enter various professional fields in the future.

When Bai Ze can translate a professional paper 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 else in the world will no longer need to learn foreign Chinese, and only need to spend some money to buy simultaneous interpretation headsets, which will save trouble, effort and worry, which is a great blow to the English-speaking cultural circle and the English-based academic circle.

At that time, Angjiao can even get some untold secrets through the voice data collected by the headphones......

The design team on the conference table was still in the realm of the first layer, thinking about how to design the requirements put forward by Chen Shen to be realized, and they didn't know that Chen Shen had already thought of the fifth layer.

"For translators and simultaneous interpretation headsets, we can buy designs and templates, and then pick the best parts of them to optimize them."

"The advantage of this is that the various functional modules and processors are ready-made, and we only need to carry out some adaptation and transformation, and there are no too high requirements for design time and design requirements." Jia Nan, the head of the design team, said.

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

He thought for a moment, "By the way, the design of both products should be close to the style of Crimson Storm and Boxer. ”

With the image operation rights of these two mechas, there is no need to use it in vain.

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

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

Jia Nan's pen paused on the memo and thought for a moment: "It can probably be completed and tested before the New Year." ”

That is, it will take more than a month.

"Okay, let's go by this time." Chen Shen said.

After this meeting, Chen Shen also went to Gu Huanyu and discussed with him about Bai Ze's translation of adding other languages.

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

There are no dozens of languages translating to each other, and you are embarrassed to say that you are a translator?

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

"The design and training of translation systems for other languages are already underway, and there are currently 87 languages in progress, including all the major languages in the world, and we have also invited professors from China to study related languages to check for us."

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

Facing Chen Shen's inquiry, Gu Huanyu seemed full of confidence.

Hearing this, Chen Shen can also return to the base with confidence, judging from the contact during this time, Gu Huanyu is undoubtedly very reliable.

The photoacoustic imaging laboratory that Aunt Qian said will be moved over in the next few days.

He's going to be busy.
