Wanna talk in a language you don't speak?

Carnegie Mellon University Researcher came up with a device that only sci-fi movie writers could think about. It is a universal translator, that translates unvoiced words int syntetic speech, it is just like watching movies dubbed in another language. You just articulate the words without saying them and the translation will be coming out a speaker as if you're the one talking :-)


Imagine mouthing a phrase in English, only for the words to come out in Spanish. That is the promise of a device that will make anyone appear bilingual, by translating unvoiced words into synthetic speech in another language.

how does it recongize a word ? because this is the kernel of the invention ,because after finding the language and the correct word(by recognition and estimation) translating to another language is quite easy when referring to dictionnaries.
