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

Read the original on arXiv AI →

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.

Simulstream: Open-Source Toolkit for Evaluation and Demonstration of Streaming Speech-to-Text Translation Systems

Simulstream is an open‑source toolkit designed to evaluate and demonstrate streaming speech‑to‑text translation systems. It supports both incremental and re‑translation decoding on long‑form speech, offers fine‑grained logging for quality and latency metrics, and includes an interactive web interface for real‑time visualization and comparison. The toolkit addresses the fragmented evaluation landscape by providing a unified framework that accommodates different decoding strategies and input formats.

X2Streaming-ASR: wait when uncertain, emit when ready for streaming ASR

X2Streaming-ASR introduces a method for streaming automatic speech recognition that separates the decision of when to commit a transcript from what to commit. The approach uses a three‑stage training process: first establishing streaming capability, then warm‑starting a commit policy with automatically probed trajectories, and finally refining the policy with character‑level, segment‑assigned group‑relative rewards for accuracy and latency. On AISHELL‑1/2/3 and WenetSpeech datasets, the system achieves mean character‑level commit latencies of 27–84 ms, far lower than baseline systems, while also attaining the best streaming character error rates on AISHELL‑1 and AISHELL‑3.
