* A portion of the technology is incorporated into the product by Mirai Translate, Inc. using the results of the R&D of communications technology by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, “Promotion of Global Communication Plan—R&D and Social Demonstration of Multilingual Speech Translation Technology—I. R&D of Multilingual Speech Translation Technology” and the results its succeeding research, “R&D of the Advancement of Multilingual Speech Translation System during Disasters.” The NICT speech translation engine, which is the result of National Institute of Information and Communications Technology’s (NICT) research, is used for speech recognition, machine translation, and speech synthesis processing.
High translation accuracy is achieved by a neural machine translation (NMT) engine that supports spoken language sentences. Vendors that provide services to assist with communication in foreign languages can help provide more accurate and complete multilingual communication services. It can be used for multilingual speech translation terminals and apps. The multilingual speech translation engine used in this service also provides software licensing.
Security
Acquired ISO 27017 certification for cloud machine translation in Japan for the first time. In conjunction with ISO 27001 (ISMS), which has also been certified, it meets the stringent security requirements and information protection requirements of financial institutions, pharmaceutical companies, and government agencies, which demand very high standards.
* ISO 27001 (ISMS): An international standard certified by third parties that the information security system of the cloud service is being built with high security
* ISO 27017: An international standard for cloud security certification specifically for cloud services
By combining speech recognition, machine translation, and speech synthesis processing, high-precision speech-to-text and text-to-speech are realized.
You can store nouns such as product names, technical terms, and special internal terminology in the dictionary, and you can store specific sentences such as email phrases and manuals in the memory.
Speech recognition processing for use in conjunction with machine translation. You can retrieve the recognized text string by specifying the language and sending speech data.
By specifying the source and target languages and sending a text string, the translated text string can be obtained. Speech recognition text string can be translated by machine translation.
Speech synthesis processing for use in conjunction with machine translation. Synthesized speech data can be obtained by specifying a language and sending a text string. By synthesizing text obtained by machine translation into speech, the translated text can be played back as speech.
By registering nouns with fixed expressions, such as product names, technical terms, and special company terms, you can customize the translation results.
If you want to fix the translation result of a sentence that repeats in a fixed pattern, you can register the sentence in the translation memory and reflect it in the translation result. It can be used to translate fixed phrases in emails and manuals.
