What is Speech-to-Speech?
A technology that directly converts voice input into voice output, without the need for text.
Overview
Speech-to-speech is the direct conversion of a sound in one language into a sound in another language or into a different tone in the same language. While in traditional methods the voice is first translated into text, then into another language and then converted back into voice, this technology performs the process in a single step. In this way, the speaker's emotion and intonation are better preserved.
How it works
The system analyzes the speaker's sound waves and uses artificial intelligence models that convert the content directly into sound waves in the target language without transcribing it into text.
Where it is used
It is used in real-time translation devices, advanced voice assistants, and dubbing technologies.
Commonly confused with
Not to be confused with speech-to-text; Here the text is not an intermediate stage.
Frequently asked questions

Skipping the text phase makes it easier to maintain the emotional tone and pace of the conversation.
