Abstract

Carnegie Mellon's Wearable Computers Laboratory has built four generations of real - time speech translation wearable computers, culminating in the Speech Translator Smart Module. Smart Modules are a family of interoperable modules supporting real-time speech recognition, language translation, and speech synthesis. In this paper, we examine the effect of various design factors on performance with emphasis on modularity and scalability. A system-level approach to power / performance optimization is described that improved the metric of (performance / (weight * volume * power)) by over a factor of 300 through the four generations.
