It will be possible to watch videos in a foreign language with automatic Russian voice acting.
Yandex announced the addition of the function of machine translation of video to the corporate browser. It allows you to translate replicas in real time and overlay a voice translation on top of it. So far only works with English.
To implement the function, we used the capabilities of Yandex. Translator ”, speech technologies and biometrics, which allows to determine the gender of the speaker, which is important for both translation and speech synthesis. Women are translated by a woman's voice, men by a man's. Here's how it works.
Since phrases in Russian are usually longer than in English, the translation is automatically accelerated and slowed down, and pauses are made somewhere so that everything looks like a real voice-over translation.
The development of the function is still ongoing, but you can evaluate its work right now. Yandex selected interesting English-language videos and translated them using new technology. The translation is available in Yandex. Browser ”for Windows and macOS.
