Translating apparatus and method, and recording medium

摘要

A translating apparatus includes a speech recognition unit, a machine translation unit, and a speech synthesizing unit. The speech recognition unit gradually recognizes input speech, and sequentially supplies the result of the speech recognition to the machine translation unit. The machine translation unit gradually generates a translation by gradually translating the result of the speech recognition from the speech recognition unit. The translation is supplied to the speech synthesizing unit. Based on the result of comparison between the present translation gradually generated by the machine translation unit and the last translation, the speech synthesizing unit controls the output of synthesized speech corresponding to the translation.
