A Fireside Chat With No Script: Real-Time JA-EN Translation at the Early-Stage Deep Tech Forum

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A Fireside Chat With No Script: Real-Time JA-EN Translation at the Early-Stage Deep Tech Forum

Robotics and quantum founders from overseas, and a room of Japanese investors, researchers, and policymakers. The talks and the open Q&A ran in two languages, and VoicePing translated between them live, as people spoke.

The forum: early-stage deep tech, one evening at TIB

Deep tech, from humanoid robotics to quantum and other technologies still moving from the lab toward real companies, tends to be spread across countries and languages. The founders, investors, and researchers often are not in the same place, and they do not always share a language. For an event like this, a big part of the work is making sure everyone can follow the same conversation.

Introducing VoicePing ASR Model V0.1

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Introducing VoicePing ASR Model V0.1

Today we are introducing VoicePing ASR Model V0.1, our speech-to-text model focused on the Asian languages that matter most to VoicePing: Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and Vietnamese, alongside English.

VoicePing is built around spoken communication across Asia: meetings, events, voice translation, transcripts, summaries, and search. In those workflows, ASR is not an isolated feature. It is the first layer of the entire product experience. If the transcript is unstable, every downstream step becomes less useful.

UNLEASH Insights 2026: Real-Time AI Translation for a Japanese Investor Delegation in India

Mon, 29 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

VoicePing · Customer Story · UNLEASH2026

When a Japanese venture fund flies its investors to India for a multi-day summit, the room is bilingual by nature: an Indian program, a Japanese audience. UNLEASH Capital Partners faced exactly that at UNLEASH Insights 2026, and turned to VoicePing’s real-time AI translation for the first time — across two days of panel discussions, presentations, and Q&A.

We sat down with Sowmya Arunkumar of UNLEASH Capital Partners to hear how the team chose VoicePing, how it was used on-site, what worked, and — candidly — what still needs to improve. We’ve kept her feedback direct, because the wishlist she shared is the roadmap we’re building toward.

Emotional TTS Benchmark: Qwen3-TTS, CosyVoice, IndexTTS-2, Fish Audio, and VoxCPM for Japanese and Chinese

Fri, 26 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Models and references:

Qwen3-TTS CustomVoice 1.7B - custom-voice TTS with explicit emotional prompting.
CosyVoice 300M Instruct / CosyVoice2 - instruction-style TTS baseline with named Japanese and Chinese speakers.
Fish Audio S1-mini - expressive TTS model with inline emotion markers.
VoxCPM2 - multilingual prompt-driven TTS model.
IndexTTS-2 - emotional zero-shot TTS model evaluated here as an experimental Japanese/Chinese comparison.

Abstract

We benchmarked five emotional text-to-speech systems for Japanese and Chinese across six target emotions: neutral, happy, sad, angry, fear, and disgust. The evaluation uses neutral prompts so the requested emotion must come from speech style, not from emotionally loaded text. Each model generated 120 samples, for a 600-WAV main benchmark corpus across the five completed systems.

Offline Speech Translation App: Cross-Platform On-Device Transcription, Translation, and TTS for iOS and Android

Mon, 16 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Source Code:

ios-android-offline-speech-translation — Cross-platform offline speech translation app with ASR, translation, TTS, and system audio capture for iOS and Android (Apache 2.0)

Abstract

We present an open-source cross-platform mobile application that performs fully offline speech translation on iOS and Android. The app combines on-device automatic speech recognition (SenseVoice Small via sherpa-onnx), neural machine translation (Apple Translation / Google ML Kit), and text-to-speech synthesis into a unified pipeline. Both platforms support microphone and system audio capture — enabling translation of audio from other apps (video calls, media, etc.) without cloud connectivity, subject to platform capture restrictions. On-device ASR achieves 23.6 tok/s on iPad Pro (A12X) and 33.6 tok/s on Samsung Galaxy S10 (RTF < 0.1). Translation and TTS stages use platform-native engines and were not individually benchmarked in this release.

Speech Translation: Qwen3-ASR vs Whisper for EN-JA Bidirectional Translation

Mon, 16 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Models (Hugging Face):

voiceping-ai/qwen3-asr-ja-en-speech-translation — Qwen3-ASR fine-tuned for bidirectional EN↔JA speech translation (1.7B params, highest quality in its eval)
voiceping-ai/whisper-ja-en-speech-translation — Distilled Whisper for bidirectional EN↔JA speech translation (756M params, 4x faster)

Inference Code (GitHub):

qwen3-asr-ja-en-speech-translation — Inference scripts, evaluation pipeline, and model usage examples
whisper-ja-en-speech-translation — Inference scripts, evaluation pipeline, and model usage examples

Training scripts are not published in these repositories.

Abstract

We present two bidirectional English-Japanese speech translation models: (1) Qwen3-ASR EN-JA (1.7B parameters), fine-tuned from Qwen3-ASR-1.7B via full-parameter SFT on ~1.27M translation pairs, scoring 4.2/5 EN→JA and 4.0/5 JA→EN in its evaluation; and (2) Whisper EN-JA (756M parameters), a distilled Whisper large-v2 with a 4-layer decoder, achieving 212 tok/s — 4.6x faster than Qwen3-ASR. Both models are evaluated on the FLEURS test set alongside OpenAI Whisper large-v3 and Meta SeamlessM4T v2 Large. Quality was scored by an LLM judge (Claude Opus 4.6). Each repo runs its own evaluation independently; scores are not directly comparable across tables.

Offline Speech Transcription Benchmark: 16 Models Across Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows

Sun, 15 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Source Code:

android-offline-transcribe — Android benchmark app with 16 ASR models and 6 inference engines
ios-mac-offline-transcribe — iOS and macOS benchmark app with 17 ASR models and 9 inference engines
windows-offline-transcribe — Windows benchmark app with 12 ASR models, CPU-only

Abstract

We benchmark 16 on-device speech-to-text models across 9 inference engines on Android, iOS, macOS, and Windows, measuring inference speed (tok/s), real-time factor (RTF), and memory footprint. This benchmark measures speed only — transcription accuracy (WER/CER) is not evaluated. Key findings: the choice of inference engine can change performance by 51x for the same model (sherpa-onnx vs whisper.cpp on Android); Moonshine Tiny and SenseVoice Small achieve the fastest inference across platforms; and WhisperKit CoreML crashes on 4 GB iOS devices for models above Whisper Tiny. All benchmark apps and results are open-source.

Offline Text-to-Speech Benchmark: 18 Models Across Android and iOS

Sun, 15 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Source Code:

android-offline-tts-eval — Android TTS benchmark app with 7 models via sherpa-onnx and system TTS
ios-offline-tts-eval — iOS TTS benchmark app with 11 models including AVSpeech

Abstract

We benchmark 18 on-device text-to-speech models across 2 inference engines on Android (7 models) and iOS (11 models), measuring synthesis speed (tok/s), real-time factor (RTF), and memory usage. All benchmarks use English text prompts only. Results show Android System TTS and Piper VITS achieve the fastest synthesis (33–42 tok/s on Android), while Kokoro runs slower than real-time on both platforms. On iOS, Apple’s built-in AVSpeechSynthesizer scores highest overall due to minimal memory overhead, but Matcha + Vocos provides the best balance of speed and resource efficiency among open-source models. No formal listening test (MOS/ABX) was conducted — this benchmark measures speed and resource usage, not perceptual voice quality.

Evaluating Speaker Diarization Models: A Practical Comparison

Mon, 15 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Test Setup: 6 scenarios, 5 languages (EN, JA, KO, VI, ZH), 3 models Hardware: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Date: December 2025

TL;DR

We evaluated three speaker diarization models across six scenarios:

Model	Description	Avg DER	Avg RTF
NeMo Neural (MSDD)	Multi-Scale Diarization Decoder with neural refinement	0.081	0.020
NeMo Clustering	Clustering-only approach without MSDD	0.103	0.010
Pyannote 3.1	End-to-end diarization pipeline	0.181	0.027

Key Findings:

NeMo Neural provides best accuracy with fast processing
Japanese benefits from longer context: Performance improves on 30min+ audio
Multilingual without Japanese performs excellently (DER: 0.050)

1. Introduction

We needed to choose a diarization model for production. Our evaluation covers 6 scenarios representing real-world conditions:

The Power of Real-Time Translation to Accelerate Global Innovation: VoicePing × Plug and Play Japan

Mon, 15 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

In recent years, the internationalization of the startup ecosystem has accelerated, and cross-border business collaborations have become routine. However, language barriers still exist as a significant challenge. This time, we spoke with Mr. Ito, who oversees management planning and this major event, about their experience using VoicePing in their daily operations and at the large-scale “Plug and Play Japan Summit 2025” event with approximately 2,200 participants, where VoicePing was implemented for the second consecutive year.

How a Go Rewrite Made Our WebSocket Proxy 100x More Efficient

Thu, 20 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

TL;DR

We rewrote our WebSocket proxy server from Python to Go and reduced CPU usage to 1/10 and memory consumption to 1/100.

The project not only improved resource efficiency but also taught us a crucial concurrency lesson:

Keep locks as small and as few as possible.

Context

Our system is a real-time STT (speech-to-text) and translation pipeline used in VoicePing, where each client device streams audio to our backend for speech-to-text and translation in multiple languages.

Part 2: Scaling Translation Inference: +82% Throughput

Sat, 15 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Recap: The Problem

In Part 1 , we identified the bottleneck: our FastAPI service used multiprocessing workers with IPC queues to distribute translation tasks. This created:

Queue serialization overhead
GPU compute contention between worker processes
Spiky GPU utilization pattern

Baseline: 2.2 RPS at 25 concurrent requests

The path forward: eliminate multiprocessing and utilize vLLM’s batch inference.

Attempt 2: Static Batching

We implemented static batching within the existing worker processes.

Key points:

Part 1: The Bottleneck to Scale Our Translation Inference Servers

Mon, 10 Nov 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The Problem

We run a translation microservice using FastAPI and vLLM. Under heavy load, we hit server latency issues that didn’t match what our GPU utilization metrics suggested.

GPU utilization showed a stuttering pattern: spike to 93%, drop to 0%, spike again. Not the consistent high utilization we expected.

The question: if the GPU has idle periods, where’s the bottleneck?

This article covers how we identified the architectural issues in our FastAPI + multiprocessing setup that were preventing efficient GPU utilization.

Best AI Event Translation Tools in 2026: QR Translation, Captions, and Voice Interpretation

Fri, 25 Apr 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Last updated: April 25, 2026. We reviewed official vendor pages, help pages, pricing pages, and product pages, then rebuilt the comparison tables, FAQ, and visuals.

International conferences, expos, academic meetings, startup pitch events, and webinars increasingly need multilingual access beyond English. Attendees may need Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, French, Spanish, or other languages at the same event.

Traditional simultaneous interpretation requires interpreters, booths, receivers, audio routing, and event staff. In 2026, AI speech recognition, machine translation, speech synthesis, QR-code delivery, and live captions make it possible for attendees to receive translated audio or subtitles on their own devices.

Best RPA Tools in 2026: Adoption Signals, AI Features, and Use Cases

Fri, 28 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Last updated: April 25, 2026. We reviewed official vendor pages, pricing pages, product documentation, annual report data, and current product screenshots before updating this comparison.

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is no longer just a desktop bot that copies data from one screen to another. In 2026, the best RPA platforms combine UI automation, API automation, process mining, document AI, workflow orchestration, human approvals, and AI agents.

That makes tool selection harder. A small finance team may only need Microsoft Power Automate for Excel, Outlook, Teams, and SharePoint workflows. A regulated enterprise may need UiPath or SS&C Blue Prism for governance, credential control, bot orchestration, and audit trails. A document-heavy operation may care more about intelligent document processing than the visual bot builder itself.

Best VoIP Phone Translation Services for Call Centers in 2026

Tue, 25 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Phone support is still one of the hardest channels to globalize. Customers expect immediate answers, agents must understand emotion and urgency, and regulated industries need accurate records. In 2026, the best solution is no longer just “hire multilingual agents” or “add a human interpreter.” Call centers now have a wider set of options: AI voice translation, contact-center-native translation, device-native call translation, carrier-native translation, and human over-the-phone interpretation.

This guide compares the leading VoIP phone translation and interpretation options for multilingual call centers, explains where each category fits, and shows how to evaluate accuracy, compliance, cost, and workflow integration.

Best Video Transcription and Translation Tools in 2026

Thu, 09 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Last updated: April 26, 2026. Product limits, free plans, and language coverage change often, so use this guide to shortlist tools and verify the current plan page before rollout.

Video transcription converts the speech in a video into searchable text. Video translation goes one step further: it turns that transcript into translated subtitles, translated text, or a dubbed version of the original video.

The right tool depends on the job. A recorded meeting needs speaker labels, summaries, and follow-up notes. A YouTube video needs subtitle timing and export formats. A developer workflow may need an API, storage controls, and predictable usage-based pricing.

Best Chinese Translation Tools in 2026: Voice, Camera, Document, and Business Apps

Chinese translation is not one product category. A traveler reading a restaurant menu in Shanghai, a sales team negotiating with a supplier in Shenzhen, a support team handling Chinese phone calls, and a student reading a Traditional Chinese article all need different tools.

The right tool depends on the workflow:

Best Voice Translation Apps in 2026: 32 Tools for Meetings, Travel, Events, and Business

Fri, 27 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Voice translation apps have moved beyond simple travel phrasebooks. In 2026, the best tools can translate business meetings, live events, face-to-face conversations, call center discussions, captions, transcripts and post-meeting summaries. The hard part is choosing the right class of tool, because a travel app, a web meeting feature and an event captioning platform solve different jobs.

This guide compares 32 voice translation apps and services for business meetings, travel, events, visitor support, mobile use and PC workflows. It was rebuilt with official product pages and help centers checked on April 25, 2026.

10 Best BI Tools in 2026: A Complete Guide to Choosing a Business Intelligence Platform

Fri, 23 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000

In today’s business landscape, “data-driven decision-making” has become more than just a buzzword — it’s a fundamental strategy across industries.

Every day, companies accumulate mountains of data: marketing reports, customer behavior logs, sales performance trends, and more. But despite this abundance of information, decision-making often still relies on gut instinct rather than data. Have you ever heard — or said — things like, “Where did those numbers come from again?” or “Let me double-check with the data team”?

Enhancing English-Chinese Translation with Retrieval-Augmented Fine-Tuning (RAFT)

Thu, 15 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Abstract

This study explores using Retrieval-Augmented Fine-Tuning (RAFT) to enhance English-Chinese bidirectional translation with Llama 3.1-8B. RAFT combines retrieval mechanisms with fine-tuning to provide contextual examples during training.

Key Findings:

Benchmark fine-tuning achieved best overall results
RAFT showed modest improvements on specific metrics
Random-based RAFT sometimes outperformed similarity-based RAFT
Translation quality depends heavily on training data relevance

1. Introduction

Background

Large Language Models excel at language tasks but can benefit from domain-specific optimization. This research explores whether RAFT—a technique that augments training with retrieved examples—can improve translation quality.

Best Taiwanese Translation Tools in 2026: Mandarin, Traditional Chinese, and Taigi

Wed, 10 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Last updated: April 26, 2026. We rebuilt this guide with current official product and help pages, and separated Taiwan Mandarin/Traditional Chinese workflows from Taiwanese Hokkien, also called Taigi or Taiwanese.

The first question is not “Which Taiwanese translation app is best?” It is “What do you mean by Taiwanese?”

For most travel, restaurant, sign, business, and meeting situations in Taiwan, the practical translation target is Mandarin Chinese written in Traditional Chinese characters. In local language contexts, “Taiwanese” may mean Taiwanese Hokkien, also called Taigi or Tâi-gí. Taiwan’s National Languages Development Act recognizes the natural languages and sign languages used by Taiwan’s different ethnic groups, so a single “Taiwanese translator” label can hide several different needs.

Best Indonesian Translation Tools in 2026: Business, Travel, Documents, and Learning

Mon, 10 Jun 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Last updated: April 26, 2026.

Indonesian translation looks simple at first because Bahasa Indonesia uses the Latin alphabet and has fewer verb inflections than many European languages. In real work, the hard parts are different: formal vs. informal tone, affixes, loanwords, local vocabulary, mixed Indonesian-English speech, and choosing when a machine draft needs a human reviewer.

This guide replaces the old app-list format with a practical 2026 workflow guide. It covers business meetings, travel, camera OCR, document drafts, learning, and high-risk review. Feature claims that can change over time are tied to current vendor documentation, while VoicePing recommendations are labeled as product-fit guidance rather than independent benchmark results.

Best Thai Translation Tools in 2026: Business, Travel, Documents, and Learning

Mon, 20 May 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Last updated: April 26, 2026.

Thai translation is not just “English in another script.” Thai has its own writing system, tone, politeness particles, regional speech, and context-heavy business phrasing. A tool that works for reading a menu may fail in a procurement meeting. A tool that produces a neat document draft may not be the right choice for a noisy factory visit.

This guide focuses on practical workflows: business meetings, travel, camera OCR, document drafts, learning, and high-risk review. We cite current vendor documentation where feature support changes, and we label VoicePing recommendations as product-fit guidance rather than independent benchmark results.

Best Spanish Translation Tools in 2026: Business, Travel, Documents, and Learning

Wed, 15 May 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Last updated: April 26, 2026.

Spanish translation is not one use case. A sales call with a customer in Mexico, a supplier audit in Spain, a menu in Colombia, a legal intake form in California, and a student checking the difference between por and para all need different tools.

The market is also changing quickly. Google, Microsoft, Apple, DeepL, and business meeting tools now cover text, camera OCR, voice, offline packs, and live captions in different combinations. The best choice is usually a stack: one meeting tool, one mobile travel app, one writing translator, and one dictionary or context tool for nuance.

Speaker Diarization Performance Evaluation: Pyannote.audio vs Nvidia Nemo and Post-Processing with GPT-4

Mon, 15 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Abstract

This paper evaluates and compares two state-of-the-art open-source speaker diarization frameworks: Pyannote.audio and Nvidia Nemo. The evaluation focuses on Diarization Error Rate (DER), execution time, and GPU resource usage across different audio scenarios. Additionally, a post-processing approach using OpenAI’s GPT-4-Turbo is explored to improve diarization accuracy.

Key Results:

Nvidia Nemo achieves ~9% lower DER for 2-speaker scenarios
Pyannote.audio performs better for multi-speaker (9+) scenarios
GPT-4-Turbo post-processing shows potential but requires audio context integration
Real-time speaker diarization web application demonstrated

1. Introduction

What is Speaker Diarization?

Speaker Diarization is the process of segmenting and labeling audio based on different speakers - answering the question “who spoke when?” in a given audio. It is a crucial conversation analysis tool coupled with Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR).

Wed, 10 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Many people find Slack’s paid plans expensive and worry about the costs.

This is because Slack holds the second-largest share in Japan’s business chat tool market after Microsoft Teams, meaning many companies have adopted it.

In this article, we thoroughly compare the paid plans of the five major chat tools with high market share and explain specifically what factors make Slack costly.

Actually, even if you keep Slack on its free plan, you may be able to reduce costs by using it alongside a virtual office.

VoicePing Real-Time AI Translation at AnimeJapan 2024

Fri, 29 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000

About AnimeJapan 2024 and Business Day

Primary Challenge: Seminars were conducted entirely in Japanese, yet approximately half the audience comprised non-Japanese-speaking international participants. Technical anime industry terminology complicated real-time interpretation.

Best English Voice Translation Tools in 2026: Meetings, Travel, Documents, and Events

Fri, 15 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Last updated: April 26, 2026.

English voice translation can mean two different jobs: translating English speech into another language, or translating another language into English. The right tool depends on where the speech happens and what must happen after the translation.

A traveler asking for directions needs a fast mobile app. A multilingual sales call needs live captions, a transcript, a summary, and glossary handling. A webinar needs attendee access and subtitle reuse. A contract, medical conversation, or HR notice needs a qualified human reviewer.

Resource Capacity Planning: How to Balance Team Demand in 2026

Fri, 15 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Last updated: April 26, 2026. This guide was refreshed with current resource planning, capacity planning, and VoicePing documentation sources. Pricing and feature availability change often, so verify vendor pages before purchasing a tool.

Resource capacity planning helps project managers answer a simple but difficult question: can the team realistically deliver the work that is being requested?

It compares project demand with available people, skills, time, budget, and buffers. Done well, it prevents teams from accepting too much work, exposing bottlenecks only after deadlines are already at risk, or solving every capacity problem with last-minute outsourcing.

They were invited by the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) to be part of the 4YFN (4 Years From Now) showcase . This was a big deal because it meant VoicePing’s work in breaking down language barriers was getting recognized. They’re all about making it easier for people from different countries to understand each other in business and beyond.

Best Japanese to English Translation Apps in 2026: Meetings, Travel, Kanji, and Study

Thu, 15 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Last updated: April 26, 2026. We checked official product pages, help centers, and app documentation, then rebuilt this guide around practical workflows instead of a thin “Top 20 apps” list.

Japanese to English translation has a few traps that generic translation lists often ignore. The same sentence can change tone through keigo, the subject is often omitted, names may appear before roles or titles, and kanji can be hard to read even before translation begins. A good app for a train-station sign is not always a good app for a board meeting.

Best Korean to English Translation Apps in 2026: Business, Travel, and Learning

Thu, 15 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Last updated: April 26, 2026. We checked official product and help pages for major translation tools, then rebuilt the recommendations around practical use cases instead of a long, undifferentiated app list.

Korean to English translation is harder than swapping words between two languages. Korean often omits the subject, changes tone through speech levels and honorifics, and uses company names, product names, surnames, titles, and borrowed English terms in ways that generic translators can misread.

Detecting Syllable-Level Pronunciation Stress with A Self-Attention Model

Wed, 15 Nov 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Note: Published on arXiv: arXiv:2311.00301

Abstract

One precondition of effective oral communication is that words should be pronounced clearly, especially for non-native speakers. Word stress is the key to clear and correct English, and misplacement of syllable stress may lead to misunderstandings. Thus, knowing the stress level is important for English speakers and learners.

This paper presents a self-attention model to identify the stress level for each syllable of spoken English.

Improving In-Context Learning Performance in Machine Translation

Sun, 15 Oct 2023 00:00:00 +0000

1. Introduction

Large language models (LLMs) have shown impressive proficiency in downstream tasks through conditioning on input-label pairs. This inference mode is called in-context learning (Brown et al. 2020). GPT-4 can improve its translation capabilities without fine-tuning by providing specific task examples.

The effectiveness of in-context learning stems from Implicit Bayesian Inference (Xie et al. 2022). Random selection of examples cannot effectively help GPT-4 understand the prompt concept. The primary objective is strategic selection of suitable examples based on user input.

Fine-Tuning ASR Models for Japanese and Vietnamese

Tue, 15 Aug 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Abstract

In the rapidly evolving landscape of communication technology, recent breakthroughs, notably the OpenAI Whisper model, have significantly enhanced the accuracy and accessibility of multilingual speech-to-text capabilities. However, despite these developments, there remains room for enhancement, particularly in terms of accuracy. This research is dedicated to enhancing the capabilities of automatic speech recognition (ASR) models, with a specific focus on Vietnamese and Japanese languages.

Our evaluation employs standard measures to gauge performance. For Vietnamese, we use the Word Error Rate (WER) metric, which assesses how often the recognized words deviate from the actual spoken words. For Japanese, we employ the Character Error Rate (CER) metric, which scrutinizes the accuracy of individual characters.

Author: Linchuan Du Affiliation: Department of Mathematics, The University of British Columbia Date: August 2023

Abstract

Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), also known as Speech to Text (STT), uses Deep Learning technologies to transcribe speech-included audios to texts. In the fields of Deep Learning Artificial Intelligence, Large Language Models (LLMs) mimic human brains in processing words and phrases, and have the ability to understand and generate text data. LLMs usually contain millions of weights and pre-trained with various kinds of datasets. Specifically, an ASR LLM will convert audio inputs to desired input formats by feature extraction and tokenization.

Best Automatic Meeting Transcription Tools in 2026: AI Notes, Summaries, and Action Items

Fri, 09 Jun 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Last updated: April 26, 2026. We rebuilt this guide with current official product and help pages. The focus is practical buyer fit, not a generic “top 10” list.

Automatic meeting transcription tools are no longer simple speech-to-text recorders. In 2026, the useful products combine transcripts, speaker labels, AI summaries, action items, search, translation, and workflow automation.

The hard part is choosing the right category. A platform-native recap in Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, or Zoom is convenient when everyone already uses one suite. A bot notetaker such as Otter, Fireflies, Fathom, or tl;dv can follow meetings across platforms and push notes into other tools. A multilingual tool such as VoicePing is better when translation, glossary handling, or international meetings are the core problem.

VoicePing's University Student Intern: Business-Growth & Self-Growth Through Marketing

Mon, 01 May 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Introduction

Hello. I am Yuta Shiina, a student intern at VoicePing involved marketing-related work. I joined VoicePing in October 2022, when the fall semester of my sophomore year began. In this blog, I would like to write about why I interned at VoicePing, what I experienced, and learned. I hope it will be helpful for those who are considering internships at VoicePing or other startup companies.

Growth Through Interning at VoicePing

In my three years of high school, I studied hard for university entrance exams. Even after entering university, I put effort into my studies. However, I was worried that if I just continued studying, I would not have enough skill sets for work after college. Seeing how many friends grew while doing internships influenced me to want the same for myself. I wanted to grow as an individual and contribute to the further growth of a company. Although my major is a Bachelor of Arts, I have always been interested in the latest technology. Besides studying blockchain and AI, I have also taken part in business contests and entrepreneurship clubs. When searching for a company to intern at, I focused on keywords such as “virtual office” and “startup”, and found VoicePing.

Role and Responsibility of Project Managers: A Complete Guide

Wed, 05 Apr 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Project managers keep work moving across people, deadlines, budgets, clients, and changing priorities. The role can feel overwhelming when responsibilities are unclear, but it becomes easier to manage when the core duties are visible.

A project manager is responsible for leading a project from start to finish. That usually includes defining the plan, coordinating resources, tracking progress, managing risks, and keeping stakeholders informed.

Who Are Project Managers?

A project manager is the person accountable for planning, coordinating, and guiding a project toward its expected outcome. Project managers work across many domains, including software, engineering, operations, marketing, events, construction, and internal business initiatives.

Adlib Works Inc. Chooses VoicePing's User-Friendly UI for Seamless Networking

Fri, 10 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0000

When hosting and managing online networking events or conferences, it’s crucial to create a sense of presence that keeps participants engaged while also minimizing disruptions and time loss during presentations. However, traditional web conferencing tools, which only show participants’ faces, fail to replicate the feeling of being at the event. On the other hand, event-specific platforms can be too complex, causing delays if some attendees are not tech-savvy.

To address this challenge, Adlib Works adopted VoicePing. We spoke with Kento Yamaoka, CEO of Adlib Works, and Yoriko Kuriyama, COO, to learn more about their experience and how VoicePing helped improve their online events.

What Is Micromanaging? 3 Ways to Avoid Micromanagement

Wed, 18 Jan 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Micromanaging is an overly controlling management style where a manager supervises small details, decisions, and workflows more closely than the work requires.

Some oversight is necessary. Micromanagement becomes a problem when the manager’s need for control slows decisions, reduces trust, and keeps team members from owning their work.

Examples of Micromanaging

Common examples include rewriting work without explaining the standard, requiring approval for low-risk decisions, asking for constant status updates, joining every discussion, or prescribing exactly how a task must be done even when the outcome is clear.

What Is a Team Charter? Step-by-Step Guide to Creating an Effective One

Sun, 15 Jan 2023 00:00:00 +0000

A team charter is a document that outlines the team’s purpose, objectives, and goals. It is an important tool for team building and can help to ensure that everyone is on the same page. The charter should be created at the beginning of the team’s formation and should be reviewed on a regular basis.

What Is a Team Charter?

A team charter is a document that outlines the purpose, goals, and roles of a team. It is an essential tool for any team that wants to work together efficiently and effectively. A team charter should be created at the beginning of a project, and it should be revisited periodically to ensure that everyone is still on track.

Remote Employee Monitoring Guide: Privacy-First Practices for 2026

Thu, 12 Jan 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Last updated: April 26, 2026. This guide was refreshed with current remote-work, privacy, employment-law, employee-monitoring competitor, and VoicePing documentation sources. Monitoring laws, vendor pricing, feature packaging, screenshots, data retention, and AI analytics change often, so verify official pages and get legal review before changing policy.

Remote employee monitoring in 2026 is not about watching people all day. It is about giving managers enough work visibility to protect customers, security, billing, workload balance, and delivery without turning a flexible work model into surveillance.

What Is a Project Roadmap? Tips for Building an Effective One

Thu, 12 Jan 2023 00:00:00 +0000

A project roadmap is a visual summary of the key milestones, deliverables, dependencies, and decisions needed to reach a project goal. It gives project managers, contributors, and stakeholders a shared view of where the work is going and how progress will be tracked.

A good roadmap does not need to describe every task in detail. Its job is to make priorities, timing, ownership, and risks clear enough that the team can make better decisions as the project changes.

Offshore Development Guide: How to Manage Remote Teams in 2026

Wed, 11 Jan 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Last updated: April 26, 2026. This guide was refreshed with current IT spending, software industry, developer work, tech talent, remote-work, and VoicePing documentation sources. Vendor pricing, product features, free plans, and outsourcing market data change often, so verify official pages before making a purchasing or staffing decision.

Offshore development means working with software engineers, QA specialists, designers, DevOps staff, or a development vendor in another country, often far enough away that time zones, language, culture, security, and handoffs need deliberate management.

What Is a Project Lead? Role, Responsibilities, and Strategies

Wed, 11 Jan 2023 00:00:00 +0000

Project management has many overlapping titles: project manager, project lead, team leader, delivery lead, and more. Because the names are similar, it can be hard to understand what each role is responsible for and which skills matter most.

This article focuses on the project lead. We will cover what a project lead does, how the role differs from a project manager, which responsibilities usually belong to the role, and how project leads can support remote or hybrid teams.

Spanish to English Voice Translation Apps for Meetings and Travel

Sat, 15 Oct 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Spanish to English voice translation is useful for business meetings, travel, customer support, interviews, webinars, and recorded audio.

Zoom Interpretation Alternatives in 2026: Captions, AI Voice Translation, and Event Tools

Mon, 15 Aug 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Last updated: April 26, 2026. We checked current official Zoom, Microsoft, Google, VoicePing, Wordly, Interprefy, and KUDO pages, then rebuilt this guide around real meeting and event workflows.

Zoom no longer has just one “translation” option. In 2026, there are at least three separate Zoom-native workflows:

Language interpretation: human interpreters speak into dedicated audio channels.
Translated captions: participants read AI-translated captions.
Voice translator: Zoom’s AI processes speech, translates it, and generates synthetic translated speech in real time.

Those features solve different problems. A legal webinar may need human interpreters. A global team meeting may be fine with captions. A sales call may need translated speech. A conference may need QR access, venue screens, glossary prep, attendee support, transcripts, and post-event summaries, which often means using a dedicated event translation tool instead of only Zoom settings.
