Microsoft Research Translating Telephone
What if your computer could transcribe and translate, in near real-time, a phone conversation you're having with someone speaking a language you don't understand? That's the promise of one prototype demonstrated by Microsoft researchers today during a preview of the company's annual TechFest event.Category: Tech

I believe Microsoft would come up with something like this. They already try to outsource everything that they can, now they're just making that easier. About time!!

Machine translation ...
Machine translation is definitely is improving. As a professional translator, I was very sceptical of it even a few years ago. Now I am impressed with its results more and more often.

bloody good point - i wonder how MS plans to address these privacy issues. Especially given that this will most likely be mass deployed for enterprises. I hope they have a plan...

I work with Korean a lot, and I haven't seen a good translation tool for it yet. People have been saying these translation tools are getting better quickly since I first saw Altavista's Babelfish in the late 90s, but running a Korean website through Google Translate still delivers similarly incomprehensible results. Things probably are getting better, but not nearly as quickly as people continually say.

it's real. the more interesting question is how much training data went into these particular user's speech models in order to get that kind of performance.

Why? You mean because you think machine translation would be more difficult? It's getting better quickly...all you need is data, and data is cheap...

Impressive. The use of the phrasal verb "pass on" made me wonder if the demo was scripted. If it wasn't, though, I'm thinking that the usefulness of such a tool would be dramatically reduced if it wasn't working with two languages from the same language family.
