Google Working On Speech-to-Speech Phone Translation

Using its vast compendium of voice and translation data, Google appears to be working toward a semi-real-time, or “speech-to-speech”, translation technology for future phone models, according to The Times UK.

Google’s head of translation services is quoted as saying that speech-to-speech requires “high-accuracy machine translation and high-accuracy voice recognition, and that’s what we’re working on”. Would you let Google listen in on your international calls and do your translation for you? [via Gizmodo]
