A few months ago, Nova Scotia launched a campaign that featured a fake phone that could make coffee, morph into a harmonica, and even give you the closest shave. (this was a long walk off a short pier to get to the message of Nova Scotia – rethink us) Another one of the over-promised features was an instant translator.
Laugh no more.
Dial Directions and Sakhr software have joined forces and are building a real-time voice translation service. This means you can instantly translate what you want to say, right then, right there on your cell. You don’t even have to type it in. Speak into your phone, it’s sent to a cloud, routed through software, and then the translation – in audio and in text – is sent back to your phone in a matter of seconds.
They currently have a beta version for the iPhone and Blackberry.
