Google already run a successful online translator , Google Translate , but they ’ve got far - loftier estimation than simply converting the written word . They desire to render languages spoken over the telephone set , according to their school principal of transformation service .
Speaking toThe Times , Franz Och , Google ’s head of translation services , said :
“ We reckon speech - to - speech interlingual rendition should be potential and work reasonably well in a few years ’ time .
intelligibly , for it to puzzle out smoothly , you need a combination of high-pitched - accuracy machine transformation and high - accuracy phonation recognition , and that ’s what we ’re work on .
If you look at the progress in machine translation and like advances in phonation recognition , there has been Brobdingnagian progress recently . ”
It ’s not really readable as to whether Google wants to translate a phone conversation , or conversation around you ( for example , rank food in a Nipponese restaurant ) . If it ’s the former , I ’m incertain as to whether I ’d actually use the package , although engagement hotel in other countries might be one example .
But then , when everything ’s done online these days — and efficacious on-line translation services like Google Translate and Babel Fish exist — Google might feel that by the time they establish translation software on a phone ( presumably Android ) , it ’s too tardily and everyone can address English by then anyway . I go for that ’s not the suit , though . [ The Times ]
