Unlocking the Future of Speech-to-Text Translation with AI
This deep analysis of 'Hearing to Translate' reveals that while cascaded systems remain reliable, SpeechLLMs show growing potential, particularly in handling noisy speech and code-switching. Integrating LLMs, whether in a pipeline or within the model, is crucial for high-quality speech translation. Our findings highlight the need for more diverse and accent-aware training strategies to address current limitations in gender bias and accent variation.

Across generic benchmarks, cascaded systems consistently outperform current SpeechLLMs and SFMs. Voxtral is the only SpeechLLM reliably closing this gap, demonstrating the critical role of strong LLM integration.
SpeechLLMs excel in noisy conditions and code-switching, outperforming cascades by leveraging integrated audio understanding. However, cascades remain superior for emotional and long-form speech, indicating a maturity in handling complex linguistic and acoustic phenomena.
All paradigms struggle with gender bias and accent variation. The LLM component significantly influences gender bias, while accent robustness is primarily encoder-driven, emphasizing the need for diverse training data.
