The universal translator featured in countless episodes of "Star Trek" is now a reality. This is the first generation of a device that will certainly erase language barriers as we know them.
@drawnhere They should extend it to women in the military. And abolish democracy in favor of a fascist state. And then we can finally go back to the way it should be.
For seventeen years, taxpayer money has gone to fire Arabic linguists, doctors and mission critical specialists in every field and every service because they are gay, lesbian or bisexual.
And this will always only be used for good for ever?

"It's called the 2-way speech-to-speech program".
I have seen a prototype of this system with someone speaking Iraqi arabic and it is able to translate this as well.
Caveat: The grammar is not perfect. The speech recognition is not perfect. This technology is far from perfect.
However, it is better than nothing.
