Hi everyone!
The low latency and high quality of this simultaneous interpretation model are seriously impressive!
Seed LiveInterpret 2.0 is an end-to-end speech-to-speech system from the ByteDance Seed team. It can translate spoken Chinese and English in real time with a delay of just 2-3 seconds, which is close to human-level performance. It even replicates the speaker’s voice in the translated language.
This model isn’t open-source for now, so you need to use the API on Volcano Engine to access it. ByteDance’s AI headset, Ola Friend, will also support this model soon, which I think will be the best use case for it.
It really feels like we are getting closer to the dream of near-synchronous, multilingual communication. It’s like, thanks to AI, we are rebuilding the Tower of Babel!
