Real Time language translator that fits in your ears
http://www.boredpanda.com/real-time-...-waverly-labs/
Most of us have found ourselves in the awkward situation of trying to communicate in a foreign language. Sometimes it’s funny. Sometimes it’s embarrassing. And sometimes it’s downright disastrous. But thanks to a new translation device that easily fits into your ear, the days of struggling to speak the local lingo might soon be a thing of the past. The device is called The Pilot system and Waverly Labs is the company behind this brilliantly simple yet potentially groundbreaking idea. When it hits the shelves in September, the system will allow the wearer to understand one of several foreign languages through real-time in-ear translation. A handy app will allow you to toggle through the languages you want, and the selection includes French, Spanish, Italian, and English. It’ll retail for $129, and you can pre-order one here. Or you can just keep talking to people really loudly and slowly in English. Good luck with that. This sounds pretty cool. Especially with the ability to change languages with the use of your cell phone and a simple app. |

Dude, this could change my career.
Anytime we have a Spanish speaking patient, I have to get one of the Spanish speaking aids to come in and translate for me to evaluate the patient. While I may understand them, this still won't allow me to speak back to them? Or do they come in pairs so you and the communication partner each wear them? |

That would have to be the scenario. Otherwise you will understand what they say, but still not be able to communicate back unless they know your language.

I was going to say the same thing. Then I realized how stupid it would be. My team is spread out all over the world. I'm the only team member in the States. And they know English. My Russia team is pretty funny. Smart but act like the guy on Armageddon.
I just have them send me a summary email. |

I'm buying this for sure when it's out.
And I'll probably get work to pay for it! Thanks for sharing this. |

I wonder if it translates women speak.
"blah, blah, blah, blah..." = "Do I look fat?" Hopefully it has an off switch. |
