Adding real-time speech-to-speech translation to a live video platform comes down to one architecture decision: cascaded — speech-to-text (STT) → machine translation (MT) → text-to-speech (TTS), three separate models chained together — or end-to-end speech-to-speech (S2S), a single model that takes audio in one language and emits translated audio, with no intermediate text step. Get it wrong and […]
