IBM Strives For 'Superhuman' Speech Tech

IBM Strives For 'Superhuman' Speech Tech: "robyn217 writes 'IBM unveiled new speech recognition technology today that can comprehend the nuances of spoken English, translate it on the fly, and even create on-the-fly subtitles for foreign-language television programs. One of the projects perpetually monitors Arabic television stations, dynamically transcribing and translating any words spoken into English subtitles. Videos can then be viewed via a web browser, with all transcriptions indexed and searchable.' "
