Abstract

A system includes a plurality of sound devices, an electronic device having a serial port emulator configured to generate a serial port emulation corresponding to each of the plurality of sound devices, and a computer-readable storage medium having one or more programming instructions. The system receives compressed and encoded sound input from a first sound device via a serial port emulation associated with the first sound device. The sound input is associated with a first language. The system decodes and decompresses the compressed and encoded sound input to generate decompressed and decoded sound input, generates sound output by translating the decompressed and decoded sound input from the first language to a second language, compresses and encodes the sound output to generate compressed and encoded sound output, and transmits the compressed and encoded sound output to a second sound device via a serial port emulation associated with the second sound device.
