Do you think this actually works?

>Do you think this actually works?
sure it does
just not very well

douglas adams would be impressed

>>60895636
I doubt it, as >>60894946 mentions, it's highly unlikely it'll be a good translation.

Sure it will. It's just parsing speech, throwing it at google translate, and then text-to-speeching it back at you.

These things are all totally doable.

>>60895671
>throwing it at google translate
no

>>60895671
Except there are better translation tech than gtranslate

>>60895671
In fact, you don't even need this dumb device. This is a totally doable Pi project. One problem is speech-to-text, you'd have to have an entire backend for that, or maybe pay for usage of google or apple's speech parsing APIs or something.

>>60895693
Of course there are, but that just proves my point.

machine translation is garbage

>>60896301
but it's watson
this might be great, with a revision or two

>>60896327
good translation is really difficult anon, machines won't be able to do it for a long while

>>60895804
Nah, the UN will pump into it.

>>60896397
Nah.
The US hasn't give the UN any money since like 1980

It's "Guten Tag".
I mean, you say "Good Day", right?
Not "Goodday".

>dir
Usually, that would be "Ihnen".

>>60896978
Not him and not german but while i was studying german my teachers taught me that dir is correct at least in more regular conversation like meeting with a friend or something. Ihnen is just unnecessarily formal imo

>>60897529
You're right.

>>60894931
As a PhD in speech and language technologies it will only be usefull for gist translation. Tech is not there yet to go all babelfish.

cant your phone already do this?

>>60895671
>just parsing speech
>just

Speech recognition is still nowhere near 90% accurate in general domains.

>>60897757
MS claims it is basically that now:

>Some foreigner speaks to you in their native language
>Translates to your spoken language
>Cannot reply because you don't know their language

Useless

The only use for this is fags in the UN etc sitting there listening to some raghead representative.

>>60896978
>I mean, you say "Good Day", right?
he wrote "g'day", so i guess he doesn't

>>60896978
you fucking germans are so goddamn autist I hate you so much I wish I could block you on non-flag boards too

>>60894931
even phone text to speech doesnt work half of the time, or when you tell your phone to call someone. how do you expect this shit to work properly.

Just carry around two and a bunch of alcohol wipes.

>>60894931

Itll work as good as google translate. Which is getting pretty good but still not great.

>>60901113
google translate sucks and people can easily tell when you're using it
