Singapore’s Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) is currently developing an instant speech-to-speech translator software for Singaporeans and their neighbours in the region.
The groundbreaking technology is designed to detect the user’s speech on a handphone, and then translate it to the desired language.
The project initially focused on a total of ten Asian languages, including Japanese, Malay, Mandarin, Bahasa Indonesia, Korean, Hindi, Thai, Vietnamese and English.
In its early stages, the project was spearheaded by a collaboration of Asian countries known as the Asian Speech Translation Advanced Research (A-STAR) Consortium, which consisted of Japan, China, Korea, Indonesia, Thailand, India, Vietnam and Singapore.
