Mobile speech-to-speech interpretation system
First Claim
1. A communication device comprising:
- a language input device configured to detect a first language signal associated with a first language; and
a recognition and interpretation engine coupled with the language input device and configured to;
obtain the first language signal from the language input device;
generate a first recognition result set from the first language signal according to at least one of a grammar and statistical language model of the first language, said language model comprising a mobile interference model;
generate an improved recognition result set from the first recognition result set by rescoring the first recognition result set according to a domain-specific language model;
generate at least one interpretation result from the improved recognition results set;
map the at least one interpretation result to a second language representation of a second language; and
cause an output device to present an output interpretation according to the second language derived from the second language representation.

Abstract
Interpretation from a first language to a second language via one or more communication devices is performed through a communication network (e.g. phone network or the internet) using a server for performing recognition and interpretation tasks, comprising the steps of: receiving an input speech utterance in a first language on a first mobile communication device; conditioning said input speech utterance; first transmitting said conditioned input speech utterance to a server; recognizing said first transmitted speech utterance to generate one or more recognition results; interpreting said recognition results to generate one or more interpretation results in an interlingua; mapping the interlingua to a second language in a first selected format; second transmitting said interpretation results in the first selected format to a second mobile communication device; and presenting said interpretation results in a second selected format on said second communication device.
