Ars Reviews Skype Translator

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the in-the-future-everyone-will-have-been-in-the-past dept.

Esra Erimez writes Peter Bright doesn't speak a word of Spanish but with Skype Translator he was able to have a spoken conversation with a Spanish speaker as if he was in an episode of Star Trek. He spoke English. A moment later, an English language transcription would appear, along with a Spanish translation. Then a Spanish voice would read that translation.
