hi i was watching a german spoken match and it was fun to watch but couldn't understand audio. does anyone know if they have created a live stream language translator?
 
The military is working on voice-to-voice translation, but I don't know how far they've gotten lately. The problem is difficult.

In principle, you could write a program that would capture the streaming video audio output and feed it as input to Dragon Naturally Speaking; capture Dragon's text output and feed it as input to a text-to-text translation program; capture that program's text output and either display it in a window or feed it as input to a voice-to-text program.

Good luck. This is not trivial and the results are likely to be marginal at best. That's a very optimistic estimate, actually. Note, for example, that most of the time Fox News can't even get English-to-text subtitles right.

Of course, if you have a spare $100K to fund the work, let me know. It isn't impossible, just non-trivial. My wife doesn't want me doing stuff like this anymore, but for enough money....

DROID....does

Wait for the Military? LOL!! That can be a long wait sometimes.

Just go with a DROID for now, and use Google Translate App. You aren't going to catch every word. But enough to figure out what's going on.

Had mine over a year now...still amazes me everyday.

That's very cool. I didn't know about that. Have you tried holding it near the speaker of your computer to see how well it does with streaming audio?
