These sound pretty awesome. I do hope you can pick a language without saying it out loud though.

Hopefully, it's not total shit. Language is pretty complicated when spoken.

Cool. Kinda skeptical since Speech Recognition is still a field where most of the applications are barely passable, but it's one of those things that really we should have had at least a decade ago. I mean hell, what was the PS2 game where you control the game entirely by voice?

I can definitely see this doing better than Google Glass.

Yeah don't expect it to be outstanding any time soon. Though some languages are easier for them to do than others, so if you're going from like Spanish to English you might be good. Even then it's tricky because of regional slang/jargon.

There are a few apps too where you can speak and be translated to a text in different languages. I imagine it'll be pretty similar. Not spot on with every language but "okay" enough if someone speaks slowly.

When do we get the Universal Translator, that not only translates in real time, but alters our perception of the speakers mouth so that they also look like they are speaking your native language.

I remember when we put "fun fun" into it ages ago on a web browser, translated it to Japanese then back again, it somehow ended up as "it is the pleasure straw raincoat pleasure."

I bet it translated it as (tanoshimi no tanoshimi).
= fun or pleasure
= straw raincoat
it probably didn't know what to do with the so it made into a word in the middle.

I heard they fucking suck. Like they reprocess and compress audio which makes music sound terrible.

Considering that Google took away the headphone jack from the Pixel 2, audio quality is absolutely an important part of a bluetooth headphone they're charging $140 for.

It's a fucking real time translator, and the only thing you can say is they suck because music doesn't sound as good as other headphones, like that's a market they're trying to compete in.

Yes it is since they got rid of the headphone jack to try to sell more of these.

It's as good as Google translator with speech to text on, because that's all it's doing.

I mean, even if it's only vaguely accurate -- that's at least a huge step up from literally not being able to parse a single word.

Right? Plus it would be only a matter of time before that kinda technology got improved upon if not perfected.

It depends on the price. Even if it's "vaguely" accurate, that kind of defeats the purpose if you still can't understand much if anything. For like $200? Sure, it's a cool little piece of tech but I don't want to pay too much for it.

That's a good point, if it costs that much, or heck anything at all what is one paying for
