When it comes to English, everyone has different feelings. As one of the main subjects in my student days, countless people had headaches about it. The impact of insufficient language skills is not only the pain of the student years. With the increasing frequency of global cultural exchanges, people often face the challenge of cross-language communication in their work and life. Language is like the key that opens the door to the world, and different languages allow us to enter different cultures and see different worlds. The importance of cross-language communication has become more and more prominent, and it has become one of the problems that many people need to solve urgently. Nowadays, when language chips have not yet been born, cross-language communication tools have become the favorite of countless people. From the rote memorization of dictionaries and textbooks, to various software apps that realize simple translation, and then it is a translation machine for one-person one-sentence turn-based communication. Cross-language communication tools continue to evolve in the direction of naturalness, accuracy and convenience, and now translation headsets have emerged in the market, gradually replacing the position of translators in the past.
As the latest generation of cross-language communication tools, the advantages of translation headsets are undeniable. Smaller, more convenient and more natural, since the time kettle took the lead in launching the translation headset W3 to the market, the translation headset can be said to be amazing at the first debut. In addition, it has the advantages of real-time translation and convenient operation, and is worthy of the latest generation of cross-language communication tools in the scenario of in-depth dialogue communication. So, among many brands such as Timekettle, iFLYTEK, Dear Translator, etc., how to choose?Is it the AI translation brand spacekettle rooted in the field of cross-language communication, or the veteran king of iFLYTEK in the field of translation machines?Next, let's analyze the advantages and disadvantages of their respective products.
From the point of view of the time of listing, the Timekettle W3 AI simultaneous interpretation headset has been on sale in 2021, thanks to the technical precipitation of Timekettle in AI cross-language communication processing for many years, W3 has been verified by the market for nearly 3 years, and it is still a king-level existence in the field of translation headsets. The iFLYTEK nano+ is a new product in 2023, and one of the highlights is the precise condensation of conference essentials, known as the "super brain of working people". So what are the differences between these two most popular headphones in terms of experience?
As a professional simultaneous interpretation headset, the Timekettle W3 has remarkable features and has an incomparable simultaneous interpretation effect compared with other translation headphones. Not only does it achieve 0With a breakthrough of 5 seconds, it supports two-way translation of 40 languages and 93 accents, with a translation accuracy rate of up to 95%.
Based on the Hybridcomm technology developed by Timekettle, Timekettle W3 has achieved breakthroughs in the fields of speech processing, simultaneous interpretation and AI translation. Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and Long Short-Term Memory Network (LSTM) are used to accurately convert speech into text, and then the text is understood and translated through the Neural Machine Translation (NMT) model, and the text is converted into the target language. Finally, text-to-speech (TTS) technologies such as parametric language synthesis and neural network speech synthesis are used to convert the translated text into speech output. Many technical advantages are fed back into the experience, which is a natural and smooth simultaneous interpretation experience. The whole process is responsive and accurate, and there is almost no delay in translation, which can be called an exclusive simultaneous interpreter.
Open iFLYTEK nano+, and when you experience it for the first time, **iLyBuds APP, follow the guidance prompts to complete the connection. In terms of translation, iFLYTEK nano+ is different from its flagship translation machine products, only supports 9 languages, which can meet some basic translation needs, and its difference is that nano+ can realize transcription and translation, by recording what the other party says, and then translating it into the target language, this part of the function can be understood as a combination of voice recorder + translation. While supporting recording, through the VIAIM AI meeting assistant, Nano+ can convert audio content into text to achieve functions such as to-do list extraction, summary extraction, and to-do list follow-up, and its comprehensive performance is more suitable for some meeting recording applications.
After an in-depth and comprehensive comparison, it is not difficult for us to find that different products have their own advantages and disadvantages. From the perspective of comprehensive performance, for translation communication and in-depth communication scenarios, the spacekettle W3 is undoubtedly still the best choice at present. If you have more needs in terms of meeting transcription, meeting minutes collation, etc., then iFLYTEK nano+ has significant advantages.
