Samsung patents live translation overlay for VoIP calls
Samsung describes a method for electronic devices to translate voice during internet-based calls. The system converts spoken words into text in the original language and then translates that text into a second language. Both versions are displayed together on the screen while the call is active.
In the filing’s own words
A method performed by an electronic device is provided. The method includes an operation of identifying that a call connection with an external electronic device is established through an application related to a voice over Internet protocol (VoIP), while the call connection is established, obtaining first voice data of a first language type, the first voice data being related to the application, obtaining a second text of a second language type distinguished from the first language type on the basis of a first text of the first language type converted from the first voice data of the first language type, displaying, through a display of the electronic device, a visual object including the first text and the second text, in an overlapping manner on a user interface for the application.
