A model of live interlingual subtitling using respeaking technology

Abstract

Abstract This paper proposes a model of delivering live interlingual subtitling (LIS) as a formal translation and interpreting (T&I) service in Korea, replacing the existing model of combining stenographic transcriptions with simultaneous interpreting. The model proposes that these two processes, currently delivered by two different professional groups, should be converged using respeaking technology. As a means to supply relevant talent, the paper proposes that formal interpreting and translation schools should include respeaking using automatic speech recognition technology (ASR) as part of their training.
