A Neural Network for Speech Translation in Teams: Whisper in Practice
A practical DIY tool has appeared for the everyday pain of multilingual calls: a small program takes audio from the computer, cuts it into phrases, runs them through Whisper and outputs a translation. The author tested it in Russian, English and French. The idea is simple but useful: you don't have to ask someone to turn on meeting recording every time, or depend on another party's platform settings.

Habr has published a walkthrough of a utility built on the Whisper neural network for Teams: the program recognizes speech and translates it in real time, helping users follow meetings held in a foreign language.
How does the neural network translate speech in
Teams in real time? The program captures the audio playing on the computer, recognizes the speech with Whisper and translates it into the language you need.
Why did the developer create this utility?
The author regularly talks in French on Teams, and when people speak quickly, whole fragments of the discussion lose their meaning.
How do you use the
Whisper neural network for translation in Teams? The utility captures the audio playing on the computer, recognizes the speech with Whisper and translates it into the language you need during the meeting itself, without recording.
Which languages does this speech translation work for?
The utility was built for meetings in French, but it works for any language, since the program translates the recognized speech into the target language.
How does the Whisper neural network work in Teams?
The program captures audio from the computer, recognizes the speech with Whisper and translates it into the language you need in real time.
Why use a neural network for meetings in a foreign language?
It helps you understand conversations without recording the meeting, especially when people speak fast and your command of the language falters.
