Better Translation?

[codenan42]

What an amazing software. It works just fine from the minute I install it and run it. Though the translation accuracy is pretty off most of the time (probably due to the transcription?) and that is just me using it for Japanese > English translation.

Any plans on using it with openai whisper? from my experience it has better results. Although I'm not sure if its capable of doing fast transcribing + translation with the speed that you have now on your software.

Either way great job. I've been looking for alternative because I spent so much time using openai + whisper to transcribe and translate japanese video for just my entertainment. Having an alternative like this is very useful. Also it runs and work so smoothly which is a plus.

Thanks for your neat remark. As you kindly mentioned, the translation is far from perfect. I tried whisper integration but the app become slow (I7 machine without GPU) and the covered languages were not many.

There are other fronts I can tackle to improve the quality.

• Improve the speech to text through AI.
• Normalize text before sending it to the translation. Also processing it after translation.
• Make Whisper usage an optional feature (through a tick) for users with robust machines maybe with GPU.

I know users will always prefer high performance and high quality translation at the same time. I will stick to that as much as I can.

Thanks again for the points.

Any news on this happening?

Thanks for your follow-up.

I've released two updates since your message was posted, but unfortunately, I haven't achieved a significant improvement in the translation quality yet. I'm grateful for your continued use of the application, and I remain hopeful that it will continue to evolve.

Will there ever be support to have it locally hosted? which would allow gpu acceleration

With the absence small language model that can do translation and speech-to-test, I think cloud hosting is the most reliable option. As mentioned on the main page, we use Deepl and Google Translate for this for now.
