Meta's New AI Model Can Transcribe Speech In Over A Dozen Languages
Financial Express Mumbai
|August 23, 2023
FACEBOOK PARENT COMPANY Meta Platforms on Tuesday released an Al model capable of translating and transcribing speech in dozens of languages, a potential building-block for tools enabling real-time communication across language divides.
The company said in a blog post that its SeamlessM4T model could support translations between text and speech in nearly 100 languages, as well as full speech-to-speech translation for 35 languages, combining technology that was previously available only in separate models.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg has said he envisions such tools facilitating interactions between users from around the globe in the metaverse, the set of interconnected virtual worlds on which he is betting the company's future.
Meta is making the model available to the public for non-commercial use, the blog post said.
