Hello all,
Forgive if this project already exists somewhere, but this is something I
truly wanted implemented after I learned what WebRTC is about and capable
of.
So the idea is this - WebRTC already gives you the ability to have
in-browser audio/video chats and there are many implementations of the same
already out there. But what all of them do not do is allow communication
between 2 persons who may differ in languages they can speak - something
that lead to the demand for human and eventually, computer-aided
translators such as Google Translate (sadly not free anymore) and Apertium.
With my idea, and constantly evolving web-browsers, it'd be a wonderful
gift for a huge chunk of the internet users.
A basic idea of what it'd do:
It would allow a Japanese guy and a French guy to speak to the browser in
their native language and display what the Japanese person actually meant
in French on the French guy's screen.
It also gives you the chance to *speak* in Japanese but *heard* in French
on the other side by having the bot (such as a SpeechSynthesisUtterance
instance) speak out a translated version of what you said.
Areas of application: To name a few,
- saving time in corporate meetings occuring across different parts of
the globe.
- far more effective language classes than what we have today. it'lll
add much more clarity to structure and grammar of a foreign language you're
trying to learn.
- saves money otherwise spent as salary to be paid to human translators
in so many scenarios (like at consular interviews at visa application
centers).
Well, I don't know if this can be taken up as an Apertium project but it
does involve Apertium and WebRTC API open-sourced by Google. Thanks for
reading, kindly put in your suggestions.
Regards,
Aayush
