One involves the software technology Ericsson uses to translate speech into digital information and back again.
Text can also be typed directly into the machine and translated; but the researchers believe the ability to translate speech will be particularly useful for soldiers, who need to keep their eyes on their surroundings.
Speech systems, for example, will allow you to use Chrome to translate speech in real time.
The Lingmo is claiming it can store, process, and translate speech, all without the help of cloud processing.
The company built important Internet precursors and continues to be a team leader in DARPA's latest speech-recognition project, which aims to translate speech on the fly for soldiers in foreign countries.
