ALLCANSPEAK
ALLCANSPEAK is looking for the development of a translation engine that allows real-time translation from Spanish to English and vice versa. This functionality should be integrated into a language learning and professional context, extending its functionality to not only translation, but also to practical exercises aimed at improving the user’s language and communication skills.
Simultaneous translation capabilities have to be integrated into a technological context that allows for their commercial viability. To this end, time has been invested in the analysis, design and implementation of a state-of-the-art technological architecture that, in a real and productive environment, allows the use of the service by a large number of users.
OBJECTIVES
Speech to Text Conversion System
Text Recognition
- Tickets. Written text / Voice-over text
- Syntactic and Semantic Analysis
- Pattern Recognition/Learning System
Pedagogical translation system
- Optimized Data Storage and Data Processing Databases
- Specific language models
- Training System
Machine Learning

- Voice Playback
What does the project contribute?
Professional environment
- Support professionals in their activities that require conversation with people of another language (Spanish/English).
- Simultaneous Translation in a specific field of work
- Automated support chabots
Training Environment
- To provide language learners with tools through which they can make progress mainly in the areas of Conversation, Listening and Comprehension.
Training Environment
- To enhance, in a disruptive and unlimited way, the possibilities of communication in the desired language between people.
- It will allow offering a unique product/service that can be integrated by third parties.
