07 ottobre Making the case for Text-to-Speech Integration with Machine Translation/Integrando Sintese de Voz ‘a Traducao AutomaticaSo my new personal project is taking shape, but as I mentioned in my previous post it will probably take a long time before there’s any real product implementation of a Speech-to-speech translator. That said, I believe there’s nothing preventing us from seriously integrating Text-to-Speech with our current offerings. For the few of you that have been following this blog – yes, I know it’s not a new concept. The first TBot even had it implemented somehow (see http://mtbotprototype.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!3F1A4578DEE8B!376.entry ). Unfortunately, it takes a while to create momentum to push for ideas. The circumstances have changed since February 2008, and now I believe it’s time to start pushing – our team now has open APIS for translations (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd576287.aspx), more languages and a heck of a lot more hits daily. Since we’ve already reached out and offered developers and webmasters/blog owners ways to incorporate MT to theirs sites or products, offering a way to add Translated TTS seems like a natural progression. So I’m putting my money where my mouth is (literally) and I’ve acquired a domain to host some of my prototypes. The first is a simple ASPX page that works similar to our Http Translate method – you invoke it thru a url that takes query parameters. The utility translates the sentence and then returns a wave file back to the caller. It even works directly from the browser, so anyone can add links to invoke the service – like these: or For now I’m only offering 4 languages – English, French, Spanish and German (en, fr, es, de). If there’s interest in the service I’ll try to add more languages. Hopefully people out there will build interesting applications using the utility (attention mobile developers: it doesn’t get any easier to integrate than that!) , and help build the case for TTS. On my side, I’ll keep pushing for adoption: I honestly believe that all of our offerings should offer something similar to that... Enjoy the new free service! Cheers,
