I was really hoping that it was an actual Babel fish

Once they perfect this, foreign language majors are gonna be piiiisssed.
DancingHomer
Google translate with always-on microphone lol.
ThePerfectGif
The first step towards a universal translator. Awesome.

To be fair, google does an okay job with Spanish...

Dean Takahashi don't trust him. Cuphead failure. Said Warhsmmer 40k was a Ripoff
intestinalhack
It took my job. I paid 50k uphill and downhill to translate Japanese in the snow. Fought some wolves once.
Phischstaebchen
Try using Google Translator for this task and you will know how far away we are still from a universal translator.
KidKarless
It is just google translate with less functions but it is cheaper than buying a phone if for some reason you dont have one
Squester
I'm getting a master's (and then PhD) in this kind of tech, and I hate to disappoint people, but real time translation is impossible

I had a friend in japan with these it is literally the same as the google translate apps voice translation which is a free app.

Pilot translator or the one Microsoft showed a few years ago.
chrishallett83
Yeah these won't work for shit. Ok Google can't recognise me saying "call my girlfriend", there's no way it's gonna get the French baker...
chuckledarkly
Oh look another google glass! I wonder how long it will be ‘revolutionary’ before falling into obscurity.
MistressPippa
Yea but can it slang? Thought not hahaha
Jellicoe
To be honest, I can't tell whether I'd prefer a literal fish in my brain or $159 ear buds. I think I'd maybe prefer Adams' fish.

So I can finally understand porn in 40 languages?......Sweet!
wyatt8740
now we just need mass-market google glass to translate hentai manga and we're set for life
Odmanra
Hell yes. Japan could help.

The only word used in porn is yes, oui si.

No, not at all. A professional is gonna do a WAY better job on a manicure than an amateur. Nothing wrong with being well-groomed.

It's a hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy reference. I know it's in the radio series, might be in the books as well.
lupinypupper
Thank you!
MilkofAmnesia
I mean, so you want google listening in on every conversation you ever have, and most likely saving that data?
Keparia
You would only need this to communicate to someone speaking a different language. How often does that happen?
bigkingdingaling
How many places dont speak English, that you could now go to
IridescentLotus
They already do?
getyurasstomars2718
Like they aren't already

How much money you spending on tin foil for those hats?
blkbox
So pretty much like right now?
Alkuam2
In all likelihood they already do through your phone.
CouchAndTable
Not likelihood. They do. Fact.
lnsaneWolf
I say so much stupid shit every day, i would crash a whole server farm after a week of them listening 24/7 of my shit
CouchAndTable
That's the spirit.
schrodingersasymmetric12gauge
They already do that. This just let's YOU listen to what they're saving...maybe...kinda...
FatShady591
Amazon does it, Google does it, the gov does it, everyone does it.
FatShady591
And that's how I made an orgy
ebonyfaery
Hopefully if they're listening it'll help improve the translate service
ToiletDemolitionExpert
T-that’s how they translate it though
dietderpsy
And then retain that data to target you with ads.
ToiletDemolitionExpert
Which goes into R&D for all the amazing technology we have
WhichIsIt
Y-yes t-they d-d-do
MilkofAmnesia
The tech is cool, but I have a VERY hard time trusting google with that much power.
SlothOfDanger
Yeah I've accepted it though. They can have my uninteresting life
charlottadupont
They're already doing that through your phone's microphone, Alexa and voice activated tv remote.
Blackrain39
Are you thinking of google home? Alexa is Amazon.
charlottadupont
All of them, they listen for trigger words. We're crazy to think they're not starting that data
Enoan
It’s impossible for them not to be listening.
Aishyan
Alexa isn't listening if you don't activate it. There's a different system running until you say Alexa. First system can only recognize it
Aishyan
First system has no storage and no access to internet
charlottadupont
If it's connected to the internet it's a mistake to think they're not storing some semblance of that data some place
ToiletDemolitionExpert
Google is the bro of all the tech data mining corporations. They actually make cool shit with it instead of selling it
pprmach3t3
They do both. The cooler thing is though, if what they made is open sourced, someone out there could make something similar, better
ocegur
Lol, they sell it too, probably not raw data but analytics that convince advertisers to pay. They are a for profit company, not your bro.
ThisDique
Didn't they have many people quit over the "not be evil" in their core values removed?
pprmach3t3
I think that was mostly over the Pentagon contract
MilkofAmnesia
Fair enough, let me clarify a bit, I don’t really trust ANYONE with that info. I say way too much dumb shit.
StingLikeAJelly
Well if you're on the internet, it probably too late.
MilkofAmnesia
You’re probably right, unfortunately. I hide behind nord vpn, don’t really use social media, and pretend like that’s enough.

Just googled this thing. Poor reviews, and it uses google translate to do it. Badly too, according to reviewers.
MisterOp
Google translate is some ass
mabbo
Machine translation has made crazy improvements in the last five years. This one may fail, but it's going to get better fast.
Valaar
I'm not surprised it does not work very well now, but I would be very surprised if it does not work fluently in a few years. It's amazing

Gotta start somewhere tho. It’s an exciting step.
itxtalone
I was in japan for 2 weeks. Google translate was how I communicated. Not perfect but it worked well enough.
plustootwostoopid
It worked great for me in Germany. Like you said it wasn’t perfect but you can definitely get what others are saying.
Laxeey
You say that like google translate is usually good when it struggles with translating a single sentence 50% of the time.

Whaaaaat? A Google product utilizing an existing Google product to expand it's functionality. That's mad fucked
kevinallover
It's literally just piping audio to your phone like any other Bluetooth headset. Nothing new here.
pooberries
Yeah but the first few helicopters were a bit shit too so...
cappygold
They took~400 years to make properly if davinci counts
KickassFactsCheck
There are Apps and other devices that already do this, but better.
mrDword
Beep beep lettuce
eroso
Still an impressive first step.
doobiedoobop
Is it though? It doesn't look like there's any new tech here, just a slick marketing campaign.
bobbob1016
Not everyone can have Toshio on their translation team. Also, Linus said it was ok, but I don't think it's possible to get real time...
bobbob1016
...for instance, "casa blanca" would instantly translate to "house white", even with ML, they need to wait for the second word. In sure...
bobbob1016
...other languages do that but with sentence structure that changes the first words at the end. Also Chinese and tones must be hard.
FightingMammal
Google translate has never been very accurate so I assumed it wouldn’t work very well
Kamica
It's gotten better, but language is something humans are fantastic at, and anything humans are fantastic at, computers are not.
doobiedoobop
Google translate still does poorly with the queen's english, it's never gonna keep up with slang and colloquialisms, especially regionally.
Kamica
It will one day, we're just not there yet.
Darkspire
It also sucks at 'murica English too.

How is it a first step? Phones already do what it does, but better.
ihaveaten
But it's not; there are a bunch of apps that do this better.
ExplainsEngineeringAndScience
Why are we yelling!
OutInLeftField2
Meloncov
Yeah, but it's probably a case where the next step is a lot harder than the first step.
aldot
Computers were probably the same way, just takes time.
dingoflickums
Yeah don't think so... The work to get it this far is astounding. Just working out the kinks now
ManuelSkir
I thought the point behind google translate was the more it gets used the better it works. So feeding it this much data might be the 1/2
ManuelSkir
next step in itself. 2/2
CharlIly
Right. With the current language recognition with that neural net boi, this might accelerate pretty fast
Mohareb
They're already getting a truckload of data from youtube. it has gotten reasonably ok when people speak very clearly
