Sci-Fi Tech Come to Life: Building the Universal Translator from Star Trek with AI and LLMs
Blog post from Deepgram
Sci-fi enthusiast Jose Nicholas Francisco shares his experience in building a Universal Translator inspired by Star Trek using AI and LLMs. He outlines the process of creating an audio-to-audio translator, which involves converting spoken words into text, translating that text into another language, and then converting it back to speech. The author uses Deepgram's Speech-to-Text API for transcribing audio input and Google Translate API for translation purposes. While the current technology doesn't support real-time audio output, this project demonstrates how existing AI tools can be combined to create innovative solutions.
