Research interests
My research interest is interlingual live subtitling which can be widely applied to live international conferences, news reports, important TV programs, and online meetings. Interlingual live subtitling can assist the audiences who cannot access the content in its original form in comprehending the conversational information. Meanwhile, it can have a positive impact on second-language learning and teaching and intercultural learning. The widely used method of achieving interlingual live subtitling is a combination of respeaking and speech recognition technology. In some other countries, Velotype keyboards or stenographic keyboards are used. My language pair is English and Chinese. In China, several companies, like iflytek and Tencent adopt machine translation rather than respeaking in interlingual live subtitling, and usually, both the source language text and the target language text are displayed on the screen at the same time. It is an interesting field and more research need to be conducted to explore the market of interlingual live subtitling in China.
