Have you ever dreamed of an accurate, grammatically correct, practically independent and cheap tool for transcribing and automatically translating Chinese to English? I think I managed to create something like that recently and it works pretty well. In this article I’ll tell the story of the problems I struggled with while creating the cctv-xinwen-lianbo-en tool, which I published yesterday on GitHub.
