1. A method comprising: receiving speech in a first language, the speech having no accompanying speech transcription, wherein the speech has a first portion, a second portion, and a conjunction which separates the first portion from the second portion; as the speech is being received, performing, via a processor, a speech recognition process on the first portion of the speech until the conjunction is recognized by the speech recognition process; and upon identifying the conjunction: (1) segmenting the speech by generating a speech segment, the speech segment comprising the first portion of the speech to the conjunction; (2) performing a translation of the speech segment from the first language to a second language, to yield a translated speech segment; and (3) receiving the second portion of the speech; generating translated speech using the translated speech segment, wherein the translated speech is generated with an accuracy; when the accuracy is below a threshold, increasing segment lengths by reducing conjunctions searched for, increasing a maximum number of words per segment, and identifying a second conjunction which defines a new first portion of the speech and a new second portion of the speech; upon identifying the second conjunction: (1) segmenting the speech by generating a new speech segment, the new speech segment comprising the new first portion of the speech to the second conjunction; (2) performing a translation of the new speech segment from the first language to the second language, to yield a new translated speech segment; and (3) receiving the new second portion of the speech; and outputting the new translated speech segment.
