Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for receiving, by a palette generation module of a computing system, an input color value that represents an input color. The module identifies a first palette from a plurality of reference palettes that each include a set of colors. The first palette is identified using the input color. In response to identifying the first palette, the module selects a particular color of the first palette based on a minimum computed distance between the input color and the colors of the first palette. The module generates a second palette that includes a second set of colors. The second palette is generated by interpolating the first color palette based on the minimum computed distance used to select the particular color of the first palette.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for presenting additional information for text depicted by an image. In one aspect, a method includes receiving an image. Text depicted in the image is identified. The identified text can be in one or more text blocks. A prominence presentation context is selected for the image based on the relative prominence of the one or more text blocks. Each prominence presentation context corresponds to a relative prominence of each text block in which text is presented within images. Each prominence presentation context has a corresponding user interface for presenting additional information related to the identified text depicted in the image. A user interface is identified that corresponds to the selected prominence presentation context. Additional information is presented for at least a portion of the text depicted in the image using the identified user interface.

Presenting translations of text depicted in images

The disclosed subject matter provides a system, computer readable storage medium, and a method providing an audio and textual transcript of a communication. A conferencing services may receive audio or audio visual signals from a plurality of different devices that receive voice communications from participants in a communication, such as a chat or teleconference. The audio signals representing voice (speech) communications input into respective different devices by the participants. A translation services server may receive over a separate communication channel the audio signals for translation into a second language. As managed by the translation services server, the audio signals may be converted into textual data. The textual data may be translated into text of different languages based the language preferences of the end user devices in the teleconference. The translated text may be further translated into audio signals.

Auto-translation for multi user audio and video

A language translation application on a user device includes a user interface that provides relevant textual and graphical feedback mechanisms associated with various states of voice input and translated speech.

User interface for realtime language translation

The present disclosure describes a teleconferencing system that may use a virtual participant processor to translate language content of the teleconference into each participant's spoken language without additional user inputs. The virtual participant processor may connect to the teleconference as do the other participants. The virtual participant processor may intercept all text or audio data that was previously exchanged between the participants may now be intercepted by the virtual participant processor. Upon obtaining a partial or complete language recognition result or making a language preference determination, the virtual participant processor may call a translation engine appropriate for each of the participants. The virtual participant processor may send the resulting translation to a teleconference management processor. The teleconference management processor may deliver the respective translated text or audio data to the appropriate participant.

A computer-implemented technique can include receiving a media feed from a speaker computing device representing speech of a speaker user captured by the speaker computing device. The technique can include receiving a plurality of translation requests, each translation request being received from a listener computing device associated with a listener user and corresponding to a request to obtain a translated version of the media feed into a preferred language of the listener user. The technique can include determining the preferred language for each listener user. The technique can include obtaining a machine translated media feed for each of the translation requests, the machine translated media feed corresponding to a translation of the media feed from the source language to the preferred language of the listener user associated with the translation request. The technique can also include outputting the machine translated media feeds to the listener computing devices.

A data processing apparatus receives data indicating a movement of a client device by a first user. The apparatus determines that the movement of the client device is a delimiter motion for switching between a first mode, in which the client device is configured to (i) provide a first interface for a first user speaking in a first language and (ii) perform speech recognition of the first language, and a second mode, in which the client device is configured to (i) provide a second interface for a second user speaking in a second language and (ii) perform speech recognition of the second language, the second interface being different from the first interface. Based on determining that the movement is a delimiter motion, the apparatus switches between the first mode and the second mode without the second user physically interacting with the client device.

Motion responsive user interface for realtime language translation

Many websites publish variants of their web pages based on language and region. However, when a user is directed toward the incorrect web page for the user's language preference, it there is not a simple way for the user to select the appropriate localized or region specific version of the web page. According to an embodiment, a language preference from a user may be received. A first language for a first web page may be identified and the first web page may be received by a computing device of the user. A second language for a second web page may be identified. The second web page may comprise an alternate version of the first web page. The first web page or the second web page may be selected according to the language preference of the user and the selected web page may be presented to the user.
