Google has done it again! UK Times is reporting Google is currently working on software for a mobile phone that can translate your conversation for the speaker on the receiving end! Google is responsible for translating 52 languages via Google Translate, and Haitian Creole is their newest addition. UK Times simplifies the process for us and explains, “By building on existing technologies in voice recognition and automatic translation Google hopes to have a basic system ready within a couple of years.”

A few experts remain skeptical to the process. David Crystal, Honorary professor of linguistics at Bangor University explains the biggest problems with language translation software using speech recognition software is the ‘variability in accent.’

Google remains optimistic, they believe that by combining two current technologies of voice recognition and speak command they can develop the most comprehensive version of translation software. Googles head of Translation Services Fran Och says “The translation software is likely to become more accurate the more it is used; The more data we input, the better the quality.”
