CCTV News (News Network): At present, artificial intelligence technology has been widely used in our lives. In an interview, the reporter found a smart translation headset, which attracted global merchants to come and purchase. This innovative product was born in a "young" foreign trade enterprise.
Walking into this company in Nanshan District, Shenzhen, all the young faces came to my face. Everyone is either busy developing products or receiving customers. In one of the conference rooms, the reporter met an American named Jordan and had a conversation with him using his translator headset.
Jordan told reporters that his wife is Chinese and he has always hoped to find a wearable translation device that can listen and talk like a normal chat. Through the on-site test equipment, the reporter found that two people who spoke different languages each wore a headset and then turned on the corresponding software settings on the mobile phone. After about five seconds of delay, they could hear the translated content.
Not only new friends come here, but many old customers have also brought new orders during this period. The Korean businessman is preparing to order 5,000 products this year. North American customers who have worked with for many years have also brought good news through online videos.
At present, "one-to-one" simultaneous interpretation is mainly achieved manually. If you want to achieve simultaneous interpretation that can be done on your headphones, the primary problem to be solved is to accurately identify the wearer's voice. To this end, this small business with only more than 100 people has a research and development team composed of algorithm engineers, acoustic engineers, and embedded engineers.
During this period, R&D personnel have traveled around the streets and alleys and community business districts in Shenzhen to collect various data in noisy environments and find ways to completely eliminate noise and noise.
Not only rely on powerful algorithms to empower, in order to shorten the translation delay time, the team also often invites some top translators to communicate. Zhao Chenwei, who has more than 20 years of experience in simultaneous interpretation in Chinese and English, is full of expectations for human-computer collaboration.
Now, this R&D team with an average age of only 28 years old has more than 100 global patent certifications. The translation headphones it produces are sold to more than 170 countries and regions around the world. The market share of North America has reached 40%, making a breakthrough in its own way to go overseas.
