Skype prepara função de tradução em tempo real

A barreira idiomática ainda permanece como um enorme obstáculo em uma época em que o mundo está altamente conectado, mas a tecnologia não para de buscar soluções que facilitem a vida das pessoas. Uma novidade recente, anunciada ontem pela Microsoft na abertura da Code Conference, na Califórnia, é que em breve o Skype habilitará uma função de tradução praticamente em tempo real.

O Skype Translator é o resultado da combinação dos esforços das equipes do Skype e Microsoft Translator, além de uma “rede neural de reconhecimento de fala”, descreve o vice-presidente corporativo do Skype, Gurdeep Pall.

Durante a apresentação, o público acompanhou uma conversa traduzida praticamente em tempo real do inglês para 0 alemão e vice-versa.

A expectativa é de que o Skype Translator estará disponível em versão beta no Windows 8 até o final do ano.

Braincast 111 – Por que as coisas pegam?

Carlos Merigo, Luiz Yassuda, Guga Mafra e Gabi Bianco relembram algumas febres de comportamento, da moda, da gastronomia, da tecnologia e da internet, e perguntam: O que faz algo se tornar viral? É possível recriar sucessos?
