It’s a palm-sized device that supports up to 80 languages (20 without an Internet connection), and it’s currently crowdfunded on indiegogo with a price of $199. I’ve used speech recognition in the past with Dragon NaturallySpeaking, and more recently I’ve been doing increasing amounts of talking to my phone. Using artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to support pseudo-real-time translation between languages is basically a done deal. Time to go on an exotic vacation to try it out.
