 |  Subject: Skype Language Update!!! Sun Jun 15, 2014 10:24 pm | |
| Here's a part of the article: Skype hopes to make its international connections easier — though perhaps still a little awkward — with a new feature that automatically translates conversations almost in real time.Parent company Microsoft unveiled the new technology at the Code technology conference on Tuesday, where Skype vice president Gurdeep Pall made small talk in English with a German-speaking Skype manager in Europe.After saying a sentence in English, an automated voice translated his words into German. (You can watch the video here.)It’s not quite the real-time universal translator that characters on “Star Trek” used to speak to alien life forms. And inevitably for a technology built on the still-tenuous foundations of speech recognition and machine translation, it’s not 100% accurate.Pall’s demonstration with his colleague ended with this awkward exchange at the very end:Pall: “So what brings you to the United States, in addition to of course helping me with this demo?”“I have many meetings with my colleagues in Redmond and I take the opportunity to see her fiancé my.”Pall, after a pause replied: “That’s nice!”German-speaking members of the audience were said to have thought the translation was “not so good” but generally understood the essence of it.So of course it's not perfect,But i'm pretty excited  so this basically means that you can real time call someone who speaks a different language and basically understand each other.I think that's pretty awesome!Now i can TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!  |

| Well, you could always talk to my brother. I doubt that would ever happen, but still. At least he speaks Spanish.  |
