CES: Language tech means no more “lost in translation”
Zoi Translate: Subtitles in business
While this translator doesn’t speak, it writes out live subtitles from speech, which has applications in live streaming and video conferencing.
“It works in six languages”, says Kevin Oranje, founder of Zoi. “We have chosen these first languages based on demand, and there is a lot of interest from Japan and China.”
According to Zoi Meet, the software can create a written translation within 0.2 seconds, provided the Internet connection is fast and stable.
The system works with multiple translation platforms, such as Google Translate and Amazon Translate. An algorithm looks at which system provides the best translation for the relevant language in real time.
“The service will cost 19 dollars per month and will be published in March”, says Oranje. “All translations are saved for future reference and betterment of the service.”
