Cache translations #27

Open CameronDevine opened 5 years ago

From my understanding organizations are charged by the minute for speech to text functionality, as well as machine translation. Would it be possible to cache the machine translations to, in essence, build a translated version of each document in real time?

If I am wrong about how billing works, feel free to close this issue.

The concept of having a continuously real-time translated version of a document is interested. How often are you seeing the same line/line text being translated repeatedly in a document/session.

In songs it's possible to have many identical lines because of a repeated chorus. A feature like this could also help reduce costs by creating a pre-translated version of commonly used documents such as the Lord's prayer. Currently this can be done manually, but when new channels are added it would be time consuming to pre-translate all commonly used documents.
