X-Translator: A Real-Time Multilingual Speaker-Aware Speech-to-Speech Translation System

X-Translator is a low‑cost, modular real‑time speech‑to‑speech translation system that integrates streaming ASR, machine translation, and prompt‑conditioned TTS, managed by a session‑level runtime controller. It uses incremental segment commitment to stabilize ASR streams and an online speaker prompt manager to maintain speaker consistency across multi‑speaker conversations. The system is evaluated on translation quality, speech naturalness, latency, and speaker preservation using OpenSTBench, and its code and demo are publicly available on GitHub.

Transsion's Speaker-Attributed Multilingual ASR System for the MLC-SLM 2026 Challenge

The paper describes Transsion Speech Team’s submission to Task 1 of the MLC‑SLM 2026 Challenge, aiming at speaker‑attributed transcription for multilingual conversational speech. Their cascaded framework includes a DiariZen‑based speaker diarization module, a Qwen3‑Omni‑based long‑form multilingual ASR module with CTC alignment for precise timestamps, and a fusion module that merges diarization and transcription outputs into speaker‑attributed STM results. On the official evaluation set, the system achieved a tcpMER of 15.41% and secured second place among all participants.
