Abstract
According to one embodiment, a speech translation apparatus includes a speech recognizer, a detector, a machine translator and a controller. The speech recognizer performs a speech recognition processing in chronological order on utterances of at least one first language made by a plurality of speakers to obtain a recognition text as a speech recognition result. The detector detects segments of meaning of the recognition text to obtain segments of text. The machine translator translates the segments of text into a second language different from the first language to obtain translated texts. The controller controls, if an utterance overlaps with another utterance in the chronological order, an order of displaying the translated texts corresponding to the overlapped utterances.
