An artificial intelligence-based cross-language speech transcription method and apparatus, a device and a readable medium. The method includes pre-processing to-be-transcribed speech data to obtain multiple acoustic features, the to-be-transcribed speech data being represented in a first language; predicting a corresponding translation text after transcription of the speech data according to the multiple acoustic features and a pre-trained cross-language transcription model; wherein the translation text is represented in a second language which is different from the first language. According to the technical solution, it is unnecessary, upon cross-language speech transcription, to perform speech recognition first and then perform machine translation, but to directly perform cross-language transcription according to the pre-trained cross-language transcription model. The technical solution can overcome the problem of error accumulation in the two-step cross-language transcription manner in the prior art, and can effectively improve accuracy and efficiency of the cross-language speech transcription as compared with the prior art.
