APPARATUS FOR INTERPRETING USING UTTERANCE SIMILARITY MEASURE AND METHOD THEREOF

摘要

Provided is an automatic interpretation apparatus including a voice recognizing unit, a language processing unit, a similarity calculating unit, a sentence translating unit, and a voice synthesizing unit. The voice recognizing unit receives a first-language voice and generates a first-language sentence through a voice recognition operation. The language processing unit extracts elements included in the first-language sentence. The similarity calculating unit compares the extracted elements with elements included in a translated sentence stored in a translated sentence database and calculates the similarity between the first-language sentence and the translated sentence on the basis of the comparison result. The sentence translating unit translates the first-language sentence into a second-language sentence with reference to the translated sentence database according to the calculated similarity. The voice synthesizing unit detects voice data corresponding to the second-language sentence and synthesizes the detected voice data to output an analog voice signal corresponding to the second-language sentence.
