Project Brief
The Pilot earphone uses specially designed dual noise-cancelling microphones to filter out ambient noise from the speech of someone talking. Then, the speech is passed through the smartphone app where the translation process occurs.
The first step of the translation process is speech recognition, the second is machine translation then speech synthesis. This all happens simultaneously without interruption, as each person speaks to one another.
The Pilot Conversational System relies on the Pilot Translation App. The app allows its users to write, read and speak. To provide users with the best quality translations, speech translation is limited to European/ Latin languages, but provides text translation for other languages.
Product Design - Concept
This award celebrates creativity and innovation for either a product design at conceptual stage - an early sample or model of a product that has not reached the manufacture stage nor available to the market.
