Google Working On Smartphones With Voice-To-Voice Translation Services Built-In


Google Smartphone with Voice to Voice Translation - Mobile Phones

Google has always offered excellent text-to-text translation services, now the company is apparently working on Smartphone software that would allow users to talk in their own language, while having their speech immediately translated into the language of whomever their speaking to.

The software would greatly benefit overseas travelers and business executives who often must rely on a translator or speaking in broken language.

According to GizmoWatch:

“Speech-to-speech translation is possible with ‘high-accuracy machine translation and high-accuracy voice recognition’ only. The idea is that the users phone would adapt to the user by learning their style of talking and make it easier to translate in real time.

No word yet as to when mobile users can expect to see the new technology, or if it will be available on phones other than Google created offerings. In any case, the ability to speak freely to anyone in any language would be worth the download.

    Google’s “Babel Fish” translator will in never solve the language problem. Not only does it discriminate against anyone who cannot afford a mobile phone, but against minority language groups as well.

    There are 6,800 languages worldwide, not fifty-two !

    Moreover, if I met a native in Borneo, and he said to me in Hakka “I’ve lost my mobile phone” how would I understand him :) And how many starving Africans can afford a mobile phone !

    As English loses its economic power, the answer is not for us to move to Mandarin Chinese, but to Esperanto which puts all speakers on an equal footing.

    Have a look at http://www.lernu.net or http://www.esperanto.net
