The Voice Response Translator (VRT) is a speaker-dependent, one-way translator
designed to assist Law Enforcement Officers in communicating with non-English
speaking individuals. The prototype device is being developed by Integrated Wave
Technologies, Inc, (IWT) and Eagan, McAllister Associates (EMA) through funding from
the National Institute of Justice (NIJ). The VRT uses voice recognition technologies
developed in the former Soviet Union. The device, on initial operation, requires users to
“program†or “train†the unit to their voice patterns for specific “trigger†phrases. When
spoken, the VRT will respond to the trigger phrase with an audio (recorded human voice)
translation in a complete command or sentence, in the selected language. For example:
if the user is working in Spanish and says “registration†as the trigger phrase the device’s
response would be “Puedo ver la registracion del vehiculo?†(May I see the vehicle
registration?). Because the device uses voice recognition, success in the field is highly
dependent on the user saying the trigger phrases with the same inflection and volume as
recorded at the time of programming.
