A Study on the Pros and Cons of Automatic Speech Translation - On the Speech to Speech Translation System Latest Achieved by Microsoft

Focusing on the speech recognition function of Automatic Speech Translation System, applying the figures and data collected from tests, and testing the deduced formula, the thesis mainly compares the computer-aided speech recognition with the pure manual one. As shown by the results, during the whole process of speech recognition, the computer-aided one consumes less time than the pure manual one does, and this time remains to be 2 seconds. It can be said that the technological feature, “little time-consuming”, ensures the system’s superiority of spreading information in unit time.
