Google has planned to tap the future market of real time language conversion applications for the advanced telecommunication gadgets. Under its strategy, the search giant has been developing newtranslation software for mobile phones which will enable two people from different sides of the world to talk in real time, while one won't need to speak the same language.
Although, this technology is yet in concept phase, Google has already launched its online text-to-text translation service and its Google Voice technology which will be soon launched for the mobile phones.
In a conversation with Times online, Google's head of translation services, Mr. Franz Och said, "We think speech-to-speech translation should be possible and work reasonably well in a few years' time."
But like Google, there are some other players too which have the similar vision about the application. Working in the similar sector is the company Sahr, which made an announcement in June 2009, that it was pioneering and developing "the World's richest knowledge base for Arabic natural language processing."
Moreover, many high profile organizations including the US Departments of defence, Homeland Security and justice has started to test Sahr's instant translation service on the blackberry and iPhone mobile platforms
