Google Babel Project Aims for Real-Time Phone Translations

Google is still working on an offshoot of Google Babel, called Project Babel. Once completed it will translate directly from one phone to another into a language the other party comprehends. Anyone who has studied foreign languages knows how difficult translations can be, so it?s understandable that the work is still in the early stages with several more years of research and testing to complete before release.

However, the biggest issue is actually background noise that interferes with dialogue, which affects the results of the translation. However, when used in controlled environments where there?s no background interference, Barra says that the accuracy of the real-time translations have been "close to 100%".
