I encourage you to offer a “translation” option that involves simplification (e.g. Simple German) where the speech language X is translated in a simplified version of the language X. There’s value there.
That's also just a plain accesibility - levelling the situation where someone is less fluent in a given language. You could even translate from english to simple english!
There are some complicated words in German. When simplified have a translation. But in German it’s just, German. Streichholzschächtelchen. When one could just easily say Streichholzer.
Just need to polish the solution... I experienced some crashes with zoom.
I am the IDEAL user, willing to pay a lot if this works. Count on me feedbacks.
So far:
good:
- initial config as good, easy and very simple to feel secure
bad:
- high cpu usage
- zoom asked me to restart mic
- could not make sure if the software works... Google meet has not voice testing loop... Zoom has it, but it did not work for me.
Yes, if you're watching TV on your computer the app should translate all the speech. We haven't done any source separation work (musical singing vs actual speech) so if there's music it may pick up some of the lyrics.
Hey, this is very cool! I just tried to make something alike for Windows yesterday for talking in French (Bonjour le Québec). After a few hours fidgeting with Whisper, I ended up finding https://github.com/SakiRinn/LiveCaptions-Translator , but it does not have the virtual microphone feature. Do you plan to support Windows any time soon?
Wild to think about.
