Problem Statement

In our increasingly globalized world, language barriers can pose significant challenges. This project aims to address this need by developing a multilingual voice transcriber and translator. The application listens to spoken language, transcribes it into text, translates the text into a selected language, and then converts the translated text back into speech, thereby facilitating communication across different languages.

Features

• Voice Transcription: The application can transcribe spoken language into text using Google's Speech Recognition service.
• Translation: The transcribed text can be translated into various languages using the translate library.
• Text-to-Speech: The translated text can be converted back into speech using Google's Text-to-Speech service (gTTS).
• Download Audio: The audio of the translated text can be downloaded as an MP3 file.
• Copy Text: Both the transcribed and translated texts can be copied to the clipboard.

Installation

Note: Currently, Python 3.12.2 is being used as the interpreter for this project.

1. Clone this repository.
2. Install the dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

• Run the application:

python main.py

• Select the target language for translation from the dropdown menu.

• Click the 'Start Recording' button to start the voice transcription. Speak clearly into the microphone.

• The application will transcribe the spoken language into text, translate the text into the selected language, and then convert the translated text back into speech.

• The 'Download Audio' button allows you to download the audio of the translated text as an MP3 file.

• The 'Copy Spoken Text' and 'Copy Translated Text' buttons allow you to copy the transcribed and translated texts to the clipboard, respectively.
