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.

  • And this will always only be used for good for ever?

  • wicked cool

  • @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.

  • not really a UT as can't translate an unknown language in real time ;)

  • They shld have it on mobile phones!!

    I can just text and let my mobile do all the talking and translating!! hehe

  • "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.

  • Hahaha- and it seems that understanding what the Iraqi has to say isn't important- its a one way communication
