Meta develops a new way for people to connect through language using AI

The artificial intelligence speech translation system can decipher Hokkien, a spoken language.

Meta has created a new speech translator that can translate Hokkien, a predominantly oral language spoken in the diaspora of China and one of the national languages of Taiwan.Since Hokkien is an oral language spoken by millions, this is a huge breakthrough.Artificial intelligence translations have mainly focused on written languages. However, nearly half of the world’s approximate 7,000 living languages are mainly spoken languages.

“We used speech-to-unit translation to translate input speech to a sequence of acoustic units directly in the path previously pioneered by Meta,” the company said in its, referencing its past research on speech-to-speech translation initiatives. “Then, we generated waveforms from the units. In addition, UnitY was adopted for a two-pass decoding mechanism, where the first-pass decoder generates text in a related language and the second-pass decoder creates units,” it stated.
