Skype Translator is now available for 50 languages using IM and 4 languages (English, Spanish, Italian and Mandarin) using only voice. It can be used by anyone who has already downloaded Skype software. “Skype Translator automatically translates your voice and video calls with real-time translation.” This is getting a lot of attention on the internet, including Gizmodo, The Verge, and Engadget. (I noticed it through a tweet from Sean Rintel – thanks for keeping me up to date, Sean!)
I’d be curious to read comments (just post below) from anyone who has tried it and has an opinion on how well it works.
