Patent attributes
Provided are systems, computer-implemented methods, and computer-program products for a multi-lingual device, capable of receiving verbal input in multiple languages, and further capable of providing conversational responses in multiple languages. In various implementations, the multi-lingual device includes an automatic speech recognition engine capable of receiving verbal input in a first natural language and providing a textual representation of the input and a confidence value for the recognition. The multi-lingual device can also include a machine translation engine, capable of translating textual input from the first natural language into a second natural language. The machine translation engine can output a confidence value for the translation. The multi-lingual device can further include natural language processing, capable of translating from the second natural language to a computer-based language. Input in the computer-based language can be processed, and the multi-lingual device can take an action based on the result of the processing.
