  • Patent number: 10067937
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for translation of speech in a video messaging application. A segment of streaming video is decoded to separate the visual component from the audio component. The audio component is then converted to text, which may then be translated and converted to a translation output comprising a new language. In response, the translation output may be encoded with the previously separated visual component. A delay is imposed on the visual component to account for any delays that may arise in translation. The translated video may then be streamed to participants giving the appearance of real-time video conferencing.

  • Patent number: 9164984
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for translation of speech in a video messaging application. At least one computing device is employed to access a data stream received from a transmitting computing device, where the data stream comprises an audio signal embodying a first language and a video signal. The at least one computing device performs a translation of the audio signal embodying the first language to a translation output embodying a second language and determines a delay indicative of a time needed to perform the translation. The translation output is associated with the video signal after the delay.

  • Patent number: 9015098
    Abstract: Systems and methods for checking the consistency of established facts within internal works according to the present disclosure operate by identifying established facts within the internal works and determining whether any of the established facts are contradictory to one another. Facts may be established and conflicts may be identified by any means, such as by determining associations between words of the internal work, or by consulting one or more external resources. If a contradiction between established facts is identified, then an author of the internal work or other user may be notified, and a change to the internal work may be recommended to the author or user, or requested from the author or user.

  • Patent number: 9002703
    Abstract: The community-based generation of audio narrations for a text-based work leverages collaboration of a community of people to provide human-voiced audio readings. During the community-based generation, a collection of audio recordings for the text-based work may be collected from multiple human readers in a community. An audio recording for each section in the text-based work may be selected from the collection of audio recordings. The selected audio recordings may be then combined to produce an audio reading of at least a portion of the text-based work.
