Elitr is a revolutionary speech-to-text technology developed by a Czech team led by Ondřej Bojar. It not only accurately transcribes what the speaker is saying, but can also show it in up to 42 other languages in real time. The system draws on the huge corpora created for machine learning to iron out ambiguities caused by homonyms and homophones. It was developed at the request of the Czech Supreme Audit Office for a large international congress. Elitr is able to make relevant notes in all 43 languages based on the lecture or speech, and is constantly being improved. However, due to the enormous amount of computing power required to run the software, Elitr won’t be available as a mobile app for the time being.
