Microsoft Can Convert Your Voice Into Another Language - 0 views

Anthony Dao on 12 Nov 12Wouldn't it be great to communicate with almost anyone in the world without having to learn a new language? Microsoft has created a software that can analyze your speech, translate it, then play a new recording of your own voice speaking in a different language. There are some downfalls however. To reach a stage where the software is able to copy the user's speech and translate it, it would require the software to be trained with said person's voice for hours. As well, the software may misinterpret the word, and could translate the wrong word, throwing the entire sentence off. This software gets around one word in eight wrong. Regardless of the flaws, this software will benefit almost everyone worldwide. People from all over the world will be able to communicate with each other no matter what language they speak. This will help many companies worldwide as they do business with one another, due to the fact of how easy it will be to communicate with global companies. As well, it will be easier for people to look for jobs since they communicate with almost anyone, which means they can look for a job almost anywhere. This software seems like it could potentially change the world as we know it today. Once this software is perfected, it would be an amazing breakthrough in technology, seeing as how many companies would want to buy it. Many people who don't work for big companies may also want to purchase this software to communicate with people on a global scale, and just to say that they can speak a different language. To me this software would've been useful long ago, so I would not have to worry about taking international language classes. Nonetheless, it will be exciting to see this software in the future.
