Device and method for translating language
First Claim
1. A method for providing a translated output signal derived from a speech input signal, the method compromising:
- receiving a speech input signal in a first language;
converting the speech input signal into a digital format compromising a voice model component representing a speech pattern of the speech input signal and a content component representing a content of the speech input signal;
translating the content component from the first language into a second language to provide a translated content component; and
generating an audible output signal comprising the translated content in an approximation of the speech pattern of the speech input signal.

Abstract
A device and method for translating language is disclosed. In one embodiment, for example, a method for providing a translated output signal derived from a speech input signal compromises receiving a speech input signal in a first language, converting the speech input signal into a digital format compromising a voice model component representing a speech pattern of the speech input signal and a content component representing a content of the speech input signal, translating the content component from the first language into a second language to provide a translated content component; and generating an audible output signal comprising the translated content in an approximation of the speech pattern of the speech input signal.

10. A device that provides for translation of speech, the device comprising:
-
a speech input device;
a converter for converting a speech input signal received by the speech input device into a digital format comprising a voice model component representing a speech pattern of the speech input signal and a content component representing a content of the speech input signal;
a language converter for translating the content component from a first language to a second language to provide a translated content component; and
a speech output device for generating an audible output signal comprising the translated content component in an approximation of the speech pattern of the speech input signal.
