Google Makes Live Speech Translation Possible

One of the biggest differences between Google and Apple, according to me, is the later engages you in entertainment while the former makes life easier for you.
 
Apple takes your focus away from the real world and bury you in the pile of mindless entertainment. Google on the other hand is working on technologies which makes our lives easier. Google has demoed a technology for Android phones which can enable translation on the fly.
 
Imagine the scenario. You can't understand or speak Germany; your potential client/friend who is a German can't speak or understand English. How would you two communicate.? Or another, simpler, scenario: you are traveling to Germany and want to book a hotel via phone...you can't speak/understand German and the owner can't speak or understand English. Kein Problem.
 
Solution:pull out your Android phone, use an app and start speaking in English. The app translates you speech into German so what the hotel owner hears is German. When he replies, in German, the app once again translates German into English and all you hear is English.
 
Hotel booked. Wunderbar.
 
The world witnessed this amazing 'experimental' technology at IFA conference in Berlin, Germany. Google product management director Hugo Barra demonstrated a live speech translations allowing two users, speaking two different languages, to communicate with each other, reported The Inquirer.
 
After the demo, Google CEO Eric Schmidt said, "Live translate is the next logical succession, and may be possible in the future."
 
Google gave hints about the technology earlier when the company demoed the most popular Google Google feature. The technology is still in the nascent stage but is heading towards becoming reality.
