Nowadays, instant interlingual communication<\/strong> is possible thanks to new technologies and apps. There is no need to have a Bachelor’s in French or Korean to interact with your friends all around the globe. All you really need is cooperation and merging of those new technological tools: When Google Translate meets Skype<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the constant war between pro and anti-technology activists, all can agree that on a humanitarian level, it is a relief. A soldier, a doctor or a volunteer sent to another country to save a population has no time to learn a language in\u00a0 such a short amount of time. And that\u2019s when translation tools come in handy, for one to understand the other pain or suffering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Google Translate is approximately used in everything we do; first, for knowledge, you can turn your Wikipedia page in every language and figure you like. Made of translation memories, terminology\/electronic databases and management programs but using word for word substitution<\/strong>. Of course, there is always a marge of linguistic errors and misinterpretation with statically calculated responses. Translation machines are still primitive and dodgy<\/strong> and could never equal a real interpret\u2019s brain and its linguistic skills. Many videos and TV shows are mocking Google Translate coarseness and silliness in videos like: \u201c Fresh Prince Google translated\u201d or The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon \u201cGoogle Translate songs with\u2026\u201d ; which are hilarious and quite terrifying for our works and knowledge at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PILOT<\/strong> is a new device, a real-time language translator earpiece<\/strong> using the latest speech recognition and machine translation technologies. So, when someone speaks, an earpiece detects the speech pattern linked to a translating app that switches between languages and sends those written words to voiced sounds one in your ear. <\/p>\n\n\n\nAccuracy or coarseness?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Are there any new devices that could overcome those obstacles?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
