Sharp and IBM Developed Small Voice-To-Voice Translator
Posted on Tue, 3 Oct 2006 16:00:00 CDT | by Luigi Lugmayr | Topic: Portable Devices
Sharp will introduce a small handheld device that can translate spoken japanese into English and vice-versa.
This is similar to the Sony PSP Talkman. I assume the new Sharp translator is more sophisticated. It runs IBM speech recognition software that is normally run on PCs.
The US military has been using a PDA-sized device called Pharselator since 2003.
Sharp plans to introduce the device by the end of the year at a price of around 60,000 yen (~$508).
