Fujitsu today announced the development of the world’s first AI technology to accurately capture essential verbal information from a sound source in one language to provide accurate context in a different language in real time.
This breakthrough is poised to offer live, high-quality translation and localization for presentations, taking global collaboration to new heights of ease and efficiency.
The feature makes use of sophisticated artificial intelligence, such as natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning, to interpret the context and nuances of the spoken and written content in presentations.
It then delivers immediate, accurate conversions and adaptations, not only of the words, but the visual aspects and layout, to cater to a wide variety of linguistic and cultural users.
This is more than just simple subtitle creation – this creates an experience where the user feels they are there!
A Fujitsu spokesperson added: “With our connected world, the importance of effective cross-cultural communication cannot be overstated. Our next-gen AI multilingual presentation technology tackles a real pain point for global enterprises, universities, and international bodies.
By automating and improving what has historically been a complex, frustrating and expensive process, in real-time, we are enabling presenters to share their message with an audience in any language without losing meaning or emotional effect.”
Key features of new system from Fujitsu include:
Live Voice Translation: Instantly translates spoken words for live speaking or presentations and can either play back the audio or display the written translation in your audience’s language.
Dynamic Content Translation: Automatically adapts text, images and even chart titles inside slides to match the language and culture of the audience.
Contextual Comprehension: AI models include contextual information so you can say the original meaning and tone without awkward structures or incorrect translations.
User-Friendly Interface: Easy to use interface enables presenters to quickly set language and customize local preferences.
This technology will go a long way in helping organizations save time and money which they would have otherwise spent preparing multilingual presentations, consequently increasing productivity and market coverage for organizations.
The solution is one that Fujitsu expects to be used in a variety of fields, including the overseas business meeting, multinational corporate meeting, online private educational institution, and diplomatic reception.
The company expects to ramp the technology quickly in several months to come globally as a cloud-based service with several subscription tiers. We have entered a new chapter in intelligent communication, where there are no language boundaries and truly globally connected communication becomes possible.
