Abstract (arXiv)

We implement simultaneous translation capability with the offline direct speech-to-text translation model Canary, using the state-of-the-art policy AlignAtt, and submit it to IWSLT 2026 Simultaneous Speech Translation Shared task for Czech to English and English to German and Italian. The strengths of our system are: (1) high translation quality, outperforming similarly sized baselines both in low- and high-latency regimes in computationally unaware simulations; (2) low computational requirements, as the model has only 1B parameters; (3) multilinguality -- support of 25 source and 25 target languages.
