Signal 2: Real Time Translation Technology

As we know, Google is a powerful translation tool and media over years. Recently, Google develops a innovative technology: real time translation. Using voice recognition, the technology enable single language speaker to have real time conversation since the technology can translate the speech into the person’s native language and recognize different accents at the same time.Now people speak different languages can have real time conversations and hold meetings.

It not only help to break down barrier for people speak different languages, but also serve as a powerful learning tool for language learner. For example, someone need to listen to a speech from a foreign speaker who’s native language is not English, with the assistance of real time voice recognition, the speech can be “translate” into more standardized format and makes it more understandable to the listener.

I think we should promote the use of this innovative technology since its function of helping communication and serving as learning tool. However, as an emerging technology, its accuracy of voice recognition still need to be improve so it can to a largest extend serve language learners.
