Voice-OverVoice-over is the process of recording a voice reading the translation of an audio or video file, while preserving the original audio or video in the background. This requires translation of the original audio or speech, a talented voice-over actor to read and express the emotions in the source material, recording equipment and software, and one or more sound engineers to ensure that the voice-over audio is placed properly and that sound effects (music, etc.) are arranged to accurately mimic the source material.

Beyond Siri: DARPA’s BOLTThe Broad Operational Language Technology Program (BOLT) has a goal of creating technology capable of translating multiple foreign languages in all genres, retrieving information from the translated material, and enabling bilingual communication via speech or text. Initial languages include up to 5 dialects of Arabic, plus Mandarin Chinese. The first 2 dialects will be addressed in Phases 1 and 2 of “Activity D”; the second 2 dialects will be addressed in Phases 3 and 4; and the final dialect will be addressed in Phase 5. In the field, the current goal appears to be a robot, but BOLT will also be a back-end IT system to help analysts with translations of stored text and voice.
