  • bergamot-translator

    Cross platform C++ library focusing on optimized machine translation on the consumer-grade device.

  • I believe this is called the Bergamot project, more can be found here: https://browser.mt/

    The GitHub repo for it is here: https://github.com/browsermt/bergamot-translator

    The repo contains some details about how to run it in WASM which is quite interesting for embedding it in pages. I've been playing around with using WASM to capture speech to text (https://github.com/ccoreilly/vosk-browser) and automatically translating it using Bergamot.

    Results have been, ok. I don't think the tech is quite there yet and the speech to text obviously struggles with multiple speakers.
