Real-time speech translation chains or fuses recognition, translation, and synthesis fast enough to keep a conversation flowing. It powers multilingual calls and translation earbuds, where latency and turn-taking are as important as raw accuracy.

AI for Video: A Complete Guide to Intelligence in Video Products: From Real-Time Pipelines and Agents to Serving, Cost, Compliance, and Verticals
Real-time translation lives or dies on latency: a few extra seconds and the conversation stops feeling live. Volume 7 covers real-time translation in detail: the latency budget of a call, where AI plugs into a WebRTC pipeline, live captions and translation, speech-to-speech models and the cost per stream-hour. Written by Nikolay Sapunov, CEO at Fora Soft.
