Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types of document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives or www.iec.ch/members_experts/refdocs ).

ISO and IEC draw attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a) patent(s). ISO and IEC take no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO and IEC had not received notice of (a) patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at www.iso.org/patents and https://patents.iec.ch . ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

Introduction

Communication between users of different languages is a global trend that is increasing. Real-time, automatic simultaneous interpretation is needed for different applications such as video calls, live lecture translation and wearable translation devices. Market demands for real-time automatic simultaneous interpretation of free-style continuous utterances in the travel sector, global event management, as well as for phone calls, lectures or meetings, are also increasing. A standardized user interface (UI) for automatic simultaneous interpretation systems fulfils these different needs for communication.

ISO/IEC 23773-1 provides a general description of an automatic simultaneous interpretation system designed to interoperate among different natural languages for spontaneous speech and text.

While traditional speech-to-speech translation described in ISO/IEC 20382-1 and ISO/IEC 20382-2 addresses the functional equivalent of consecutive interpretation, this document focuses on the functional equivalent of simultaneous interpretation.

ISO/IEC 23773-2 provides the requirements and functional components for the UI of automatic simultaneous interpretation systems.

This document provides a reference architecture for automatic simultaneous interpretation systems including functional modules and communication interfaces in a high-level approach.
