Category: Cool Stuff

This is a pretty cool video. Not only is it impressive technology, but the idea of overcoming language barriers is also pretty cool. The military has been very interested in this kind of stuff — so soldiers in the field can communicate with natives. I wonder how long until call-centers are outsourced to non-English-speaking countries. I could also see it being used for auto-generating transcripts for things like podcasts, which could be useful for searching.
