Method of translating and synthesizing a foreign language
Abstract:
A method to interactively convert a source language video/audio stream into one or more target languages in high definition video format using a computer. The spoken words in the converted language are synchronized with synthesized movements of a rendered mouth. Original audio and video streams from pre-recorded or live sermons are synthesized into another language with the original emotional and tonal characteristics. The original sermon could be in any language and be translated into any other language. The mouth and jaw are digitally rendered with viseme and phoneme morphing targets that are pre-generated for lip synching with the synthesized target language audio. Each video image frame has the simulated lips and jaw inserted over the original. The new audio and video image then encoded and uploaded for internee viewing or recording to a storage medium.
