World's First real time wearable language translator will
be smaller than imagined Star Trek universal translator:
"A portable device has a button and a speaker. One person speaks into
Ili while holding down the button; after the user stops speaking, the
speaker relays the message in the chosen language. (Right now, Ili
only supports English, Chinese and Japanese, but its parent company,
Logbar, has promised more will be available in the future.) Version two
will have French, Thai, and Korean
Ili's novel feature — and the perk that distinguishes it from translation
services like Google — is its capacity to work without a wireless
connection. It relies on its own database of words and phrases, which
means it can conceivably be used in any situation, whether you're
scaling the mountains of Chile or stuck underground on the New York
City subway."
