Base Claim:
1. A method of using a network connection for a fast-and-engaging, real time voice translation, the method comprising: loading an executable program from a network connection into a non-transitory computer readable storage medium; executing the executable program through a processor, the executing comprising: accessing a multilanguage database embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium including a plurality of phrase templates associated with a respective plurality of phrases; choosing a source language from a plurality of source languages and a destination language from a plurality of destination languages; inputting a source phrase spoken in the source language; transmitting the source phrase (i) to a speech recognition module embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium for converting the spoken source phrase into a recognized source phrase; (ii) a translation engine embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium for translating the recognized source phrase in the selected source language into a destination phrase in a destination language selected from multiple languages, wherein the plurality of phrases in the multilanguage database include the destination phrase; (iii) a template look-up engine embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium for finding the phrase template associated with the destination phrase from among the multiple languages; and, outputting the destination phrase template as a spoken translation in the selected destination language; wherein, a total time is required between the input of the source phrase and output of the destination phrase, the total time being no slower than 0.010 seconds.

Claim 4:
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the executing includes sequentially translating a series of input source phrases to provide a real-time translation in the form of a series of spoken destination phrases in the language selected from multiple languages, wherein the time between the input and output of the source phrase in the speech recognition module is no slower that about 2 milliseconds, in the voice coding module is no slower than 3 milliseconds, in the translation engine is no slower than about 2 milliseconds, and in the parameterization module is no slower than about 3 milliseconds, such that the total time between the input of the source phrase and output of the destination phrase is no slower than 0.010 second.
