Lecture Translator

The ISL’s Simultaneous Lecture Translation system is capable of automatically translating lectures and presenting the translation results as text via the www. The system is used to translate German lectures into English and further languages, so that international students can better follow their content, even if they are not fluent in German.  

RELATER

Psychiatry and psychotherapy depend on successful communication. Since most refugees arriving in the last years speak languages such as Arabic that are not understood by therapists, this presents a critical obstacle in providing mental health care for refugees. RELATER will develop a portable, secure and extensible cross-lingual communication system, based on smartphones, to be used on site during psychiatric diagnosis on Iraqi Arabic- and Levantine speaking refugees.
