Abstract
With the increasing language divide in formal international conferences and the rising costs of using human interpreters, the language industry has seen a technological intervention in recent years that has aimed to make use of advances in the study of natural language processing to aid in the simultaneous interpretation of spoken speech.
The launch of the Center of Excellence in Translation & Localization at Misr International University has coincided with the development of one such software powered by statistical automatic speech recognition, and advanced machine learning techniques that aid the software in distinguishing between various domain and dynamically switch between them, thus aiding the interpreter through providing them with a more contextual understanding of the speech being fed to the application.
An initial version of the application is browser-enabled and is multi-platform.
